SUTD Vertical Cities – Data Co

This is a data collection app designed to collect sensor data from invited volunteers for academic research. The app collects barometer and accelerometer sensor data. It also scans for Bluetooth signals emitted by beacons (manufactured by Kontakt), stores them in internal storage, and uploads the data to the cloud frequently when connected to Wi-Fi. The app is designed to collect continuous long term sensor data to be used to understand mobility, co-presence, and space use of a specific population under the research study.

Team behind the app: SUTD Vertical Cities project is a multi-disciplinary collaboration between academic and Singapore government agencies looking to improve the design of future cities. The app is developed by Techfidelite Solutions Pvt. Ltd under contract from Advanced Architecture Lab (AAL) in Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), Singapore. This project is funded under the “Complexity Science for Urban Solutions Pilot Funding Programme”, funded by the Ministry of National Development (MND) Singapore Research Funds and in collaboration with MND Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC), Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and Housing Development Board (HDB) of Singapore.
