Sensafety: Sensor networks for public safety

Project description

The project focuses on communication and data processing systems for understanding events in the physical world. Examples include physical intrusion (burglary of a home) or physical aggressiveness (robbery in the street). The communication and understanding of such complex and often fuzzy defined events is challenging since it requires systems that operate in real-time, that are highly distributed, and that are highly efficient in terms of energy consumption and wireless bandwidth usage. Considering the focus on safety applications, the systems must also be highly reliable in technical and usability sense.
