The jury of the ADI WE University Design Challenge has chosen the GreenMite team of the ETSE-UV as one of the winners.

The technological project competition has been promoted by the entities Analog Devices and Würth Elektronik and coordinated in the ETSE-UV by Professor José Torres. The GreenMite team is made up of students from the IEEE Branch of students of the Universitat de València (IEEEsbUV). The project presented by GreenMite consists of a network of sensors deployed around the city that acquire atmospheric information and send it to a central server for processing.

Every year there are more and more news related to problems of air quality in urban landscapes. This was just the beginning, since urban landscapes of the 1950s have grown exponentially, making this phenomenon increasingly common. Therefore, these students decided to use the technology to help the citizens know the contamination rates of their cities.

This idea was inspired by cases registered in Madrid (2016) and Barcelona (2017), where the authorities had to reduce the speed limits and restrict traffic to reduce emissions. Many times these policies are random and you do not have a great deal of certainty about its effectiveness. With this Project, the effects of these measures and acting in real time could be evaluated.

On the 4th of May, the GreenMite team components will travel to Munich to present their project and attend the awards ceremony that will take place at the offices of Analog Devices and Würth Elektronik.
