Unexpected Findings on the Role of Traffic in Fine Particulate Pollution Urban air pollution remains a critical challenge across Europe. Recent results from the DEUS Pollutrack project, presented at the Kolloquium Luftqualität an Straßen 2025, provide new high-resolution insights into the complex relationship between traffic and air pollution in smaller urban areas. By deploying over 80[…]

Enabling next-generation AI and mobility solutions through automated, GDPR-compliant synthetic data as-a-service. Project Completion: SYNTRA – Synthetic Traffic Data Generation for Reliable AI in MobilitySYNTRA, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 programme, marks the successful completion of a 10-month experiment advancing synthetic data generation for mobility. The project brought together NovelSense, Fraunhofer IOSB, SDIL, Know-Center, and[…]

The publication “High-Spatial Resolution Maps of PM2.5 Using Mobile Sensors on Buses: A Case Study of Teltow City, Germany, in the Suburb of Berlin, 2023” was published on December 15, 2024, in the journal Atmosphere. Led by a German-French research team, this study analyzed fine particulate (PM2.5) pollution in Teltow, a suburb of Berlin, using mobile[…]

Starting July 2024 NovelSense is partner in the KoFeMo – mFUND research project. In urban areas, air purity is playing an increasingly important role. Motor vehicles, with their emissions from exhaust, brakes, and tires, are the main contributors to particulate matter pollution. In addition to traffic volume, environmental factors such as wind, temperature stratification, precipitation,[…]

We are excited to share that the SYNTRA project, which targets synthetic traffic data generation, was selected among 18 other experiments into the EU Hubs 4 Data – 3rd Open Call. EUHubs4Data is programme under the umbrella of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme to forster the increase the data-driven innovation in[…]
