TULIP - Technology for Urban Liveability Project Details
TULIP is a major Australian initiative for smart city research and project delivery based at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). TULIP is focused on using LoRaWAN networks and distributed low-cost sensors to capture real-time data about the health of the urban environment. LoRaWAN is a new technology that uses radio waves to send small quantities of data over distances of a few kilometres. Hundreds of distributed ‘nodes' can transmit data to central ‘gateways'. TULIP makes use of low-cost sensor technologies to measure air temperature, noise pollution, noxious gases (NOx, SOx, CO, O3) and airborne particulates (PM2.5, PM10) and then transmit this data back to a central server using LoRaWAN. The result is real-time high-resolution hyper-local data. We want to understand how these factors interact in real urban settings.TULIP is being developed through a multi-partner collaborative inquiry process to produce a blueprint for local government design and delivery of participatory community-centred smart city projects. This approach has two core components: UTS has worked with industry partners to develop an open modular data platform designed to maximise community participation and a bottom up growth model for smart city initiatives lead by local governments; simultaneously, UTS and local government partners have delivered a use case co-design process to ensure community centred design and ownership. TULIP is a recipient of round 1 funding from the Australian Government's Smart Cities and Suburbs program, delivering smart liveable communities in Lake Macquarie NSW and the City of Sydney. TULIP is also working on a number of other new projects so expect to hear more in the near future.
