Whether it\u2019s looking for parking spaces, waste disposal, irrigation or winter services \u2013 the pioneering municipality of Herrenberg is using data to perform many of its tasks more cleverly and efficiently than before. The intelligent winter road clearance service is based on sensors from Lufft.<\/p><p>The present can look pretty old. At least when it comes to how smart cities could function in a few years. The neat half-timbered houses in Herrenberg\u2019s city center tend to remind passers-by of the past. But the 30,000-inhabitant community with its picturesque old town is becoming a pioneer for so-called smart cities nationwide.<\/p><h3>Internet of Things<\/h3><p>There are many possible applications in a smart city and most of them do not sound like science fiction at all, but rather very practical. These include, for example, parking space sensors that show drivers the way to empty spaces, or intelligent garbage containers that automatically request that they be emptied when a certain level is reached.<\/p><p>In order that garbage cans, streets, flower beds and other things provide information about their condition, they must be equipped with sensors and connected to a radio network. Communication in this Internet of Things (IoT) takes place via low-radiation communication networks, so-called Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN). In contrast to WLAN or mobile telephony, the performance of LPWAN is very low; after all, it only has to transmit small amounts of data instead of pictures or videos.<\/p><h3>License-free frequencies reduce investment costs<\/h3><p>In Herrenberg, data transfer is done via the Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN), a form of LPWAN particularly well suited for smart city applications. Because it uses license-free frequencies in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Band \u2013 863 to 870 MHz), the municipality has set up a comprehensive data architecture with very low investment costs.<\/p><p>This data architecture basically consists of two sections. Sensors and data receivers, so-called gateways, communicate via LoRaWAN. The gateways are distributed over the city area at locations as high as possible to guarantee good network coverage. A city like Herrenberg with 30,000 inhabitants can manage that with just over a dozen gateways, and in 2018 only two of the receivers were used. These are connected via the Internet to servers from which computers can retrieve the data for various applications.<\/p><h3>A wealth of data for everyone<\/h3><p>What\u2019s exciting about the whole thing is that the infrastructure is open to everyone, everyone can use it \u2013 and if necessary, expand it themselves. Nevertheless, the data is transmitted in encrypted form and can only be viewed by the respective user. This fits with the spirit of a \u201cjoin-in city\u201d that Herrenberg has proclaimed itself. We at mhascaro use the transmitted data from the sensors and have \u2013 in cooperation with the Office for Environment, Technology, Green, developed a platform with which their employees can monitor all sensors in a user-friendly and clear way and read out measured values and histories. Alarm e-mails can be sent individually, which, for example, appear in the employee\u2019s mailbox when a certain level is reached.<\/p><p>A promising pilot project in Herrenberg is the automated winter service. Road sensors and weather stations provide real-time data, they are almost like a view of the road from a window. This is a great help for the winter road clearance staff, who have an enormous amount of work to do every season from November to March. Even in winters with little snow such as the last one, there can always be slippery frost or black ice. So, the more the winter road clearance service knows about the condition of the roads, the better \u2013 and safer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

The integration into the LoRaWAN network was developed by mhascaro in close cooperation with Lufft and is in use since the end of 2018. The measuring instruments tell us something about the current state, what is now and what was before. But wouldn\u2019t it be much more exciting to know what will be?<\/p><p>Seriously, there\u2019s no crystal ball. Instead, artificial intelligence comes into play. Historical weather data, together with the clearing logs of the winter road clearance service, provide a valuable treasure trove of data from which an algorithm, i.e. a computer program, recognizes recurring patterns. This could be a correlation between humidity and temperature, for example, because dangerous slipperiness can form even without precipitation.<\/p><h3>Safe driving even in winter<\/h3><p>We have already started to feed the algorithm with information, but the larger the database, the more precise and universal its predictions. Therefore, the goal in Herrenberg is to include communities from all over Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg in the project. In this way, everyone can benefit from each other, relieve the winter road clearance services and make traffic safer in the wet and cold months. Not only in Herrenberg and the surrounding area, but also already in several other cities that want to make their operations more intelligent with the help of IoT and AI and become smart cities.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5de79af elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"5de79af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-550df3c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"550df3c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>More information<\/h4>\n<p>The Focus Group Digital Networking initiative has published numerous publications on its website about current and upcoming smart city projects in German cities.

Wissenschaftsautor. Podcaster. Vertriebler. Meine beruflichen Anf\u00e4nge als mehrsprachiger, preisgekr\u00f6nter Sportjournalist lagen in Zeitungsredaktionen und Rundfunk. Nun widme ich mich noch spannenderen Themen wie Technologie, Meteorologie und erneuerbaren Energien. Bei OTT HydroMet betreue ich eine riesige und faszinierende Region, die vom Baltikum bis zum Balkan, von meinem Heimatland Polen bis nach Kasachstan reicht. Ich brenne daf\u00fcr, dort den \u00dcbergang zu einer erneuerbaren Energielandschaft zu unterst\u00fctzen.
