EngD position: SenseHeat Plug-and-play measurement kit to facilitate crowdsourcing of urban temperature data

Your mission is to build on the existing mobile unit, take it a step further, develop a simple plug-and-play sensor kit that can be easily mounted on municipal vehicles to facilitate the crowdsourcing of the data needed for the assessment of urban temperatures at a high spatiotemporal resolution.

To this end, the successful candidate will tackle the following tasks:
Conduct a comprehensive literature review to identify existing data acquisition technologies and their limitations in monitoring urban environmental patterns.
Propose a new data acquisition system that can capture high-resolution spatiotemporal data.
Design and prototype a scalable and cost-effective plug-and-play sensor kit tailored to the specific requirements identified during the literature review study.
Implement data processing algorithms to structure and analyse the collected data, ensuring its relevance and usability for decision-makers.
Pilot the plug-and-play sensor kit in selected urban areas to test its effectiveness in real-world conditions and to refine its design based on operational feedback.
Envision the next step of the provided solution.
