Sensor readings, with temperature, light, humidity every 5 minutes at 8 locations (trial, 2014 to 2015)

In 2012, Council and ARUP partnered with the University of Melbourne on a three year Australian Research Council Linkage Grant for Creating a Smart City through Internet of Things." The aim of the research was to develop new systems and algorithms that can help City administrators remotely monitor, understand and interpret real time information on urban environments" The researchers are now applying the research in the City by deploying a three month 'real-world' data collection and testing trial. The environmental sensors, measuring light levels, humidity and temperature, have been deployed at Fitzroy Gardens and Library at the Dock. The data collected will assist the Urban Landscapes branch to better understand and communicate the impact of canopy cover for urban cooling.

2012年，理事会与奥雅纳(ARUP)携手墨尔本大学，依托一项为期三年的澳大利亚研究委员会(Australian Research Council)联动资助项目，开展“依托物联网(Internet of Things)打造智慧城市”的相关研究。本研究旨在开发新型系统与算法，助力城市管理者远程监测、理解并解读城市环境的实时信息。目前，研究团队正将该研究成果应用于本市，启动了为期三个月的“真实场景”数据采集与测试试点项目。研究团队已在菲茨罗伊花园(Fitzroy Gardens)与码头图书馆(Library at the Dock)部署了环境传感器，可采集光照强度、湿度与温度三项环境参数。所采集的数据将辅助城市景观部门深入认知并阐释城市冠层覆盖对城市降温的影响。
