CHALLENGE #3

Obtention of Mobility Data based on the Identification of Acoustic Signals

Urban mobility in Barcelona is the primary contributor to the city’s noise pollution, responsible for an estimated 85% of the total noise levels. While the City Council has some data on the issue, there is a significant potential for improvement in capturing and processing mobility-related acoustic signals.This emerging field offers opportunities for innovation, providing valuable data to enhance decision-making and improve the city’s acoustic quality.

In this context, the proposal should be designed to:

Incorporate innovative and differential components utilizing innovative methodologies and resources in planning and execution.

Achieve significant and measurable outcomes by demonstrating clear, quantifiable results with long-term benefits.

Be executable in the short term with a maximum duration of 18 months from implementation to monitoring.

Be implemented in vehicles or infrastructure associated with road traffic in the city, ensuring integration with urban mobility systems.
