סמינר מחלקתי - ניסוי שמודד הכל בהשתתפות 43000 סטודנטים בסינגפור

The Singapore University of Technology and Design facilitated an ambitious large-scale science experiment in September and November 2015 which saw over 43,000 students carrying sensors designed to measure temperature, humidity, pressure, light, noise, among other physical parameters in a project supported by the National Research Foundation and carried out with partners from the Ministry of Education and the Singapore Science Center. The sensors were designed to be able to localise themselves in their environments using a radio-map of Singapore, and to be able to identify which transportation mode was being used during the participant’s daily travels. This talk will center on the massive data set which the SUTD is in the process of analysing and sharing, and how it can be leveraged to learn things about Singapore’s built environment.
