Sziporkák (Sparkles) wrote: Our solution is a regulatory package with three consecutive steps: a policy proposal for the national government to determine emission limits for residential heating devices (furnaces, heaters, etc. ) - currently, the legal environment focuses only on the possible pollution from enterprises. To lobby for a change like this, a thorough study is needed that would contain reliable information about the current situation in nyíregyháza, underlining the importance of the new regulation. Locally, the new regulation would give a basis for two things: sanctions, since there (hopefully) would be clear-cut emission limits; and... Source: EIT Climate KIC's Climathon

Intelligent Traffic Control

IT-c wrote: We are it-c (intelligent traffic-control), a hungarian start-up aiming to change the behavior of traffic lights from the current time-based system to a new, live traffic-based solution. Our system receives live traffic data and changes the lights based on live traffic conditions without any restrictions for green-red cycle lengths. It is fully automated which means that only maintenance is required to keep the system working, and we link together the junctions, which creates a network of intersections in the city. It-c aims to accelerate the transition between today’s non-automated traffic and the future’s smart mobility by creating a stabile basis on which all the innovations in mobility can perfectly fit...

Carefree urban cycling

Viola wrote: I love cycling, just as much as you do. But ever since my beloved ride got stolen, i get this strong sense of fear every time i lock my bike in a public space, that this one will be stolen as well. No matter how expensive and sturdy the lock i use, it’s there. We figured out that the best way to secure a bike is not to invent another useless, heavy and bulky lock, but to create the fort knox of bike racks. And so we did it. We designed a smart rack that acts as a protective cage around your bike - a sort of safe haven. Once it's locked, your bike is immovable. No more heavy portable locks, no more dirty hands, only convenience and peace of mind... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
