bikeemotion is a smart bike sharing system that learns from use, adapts to users’

needs and adjusts to the city. It belongs to the 4th generation of “demand

responsive multimodal systems” and displays highly efficient, flexible, clean

stations alongside a better redistribution system.

It is a completely new bike sharing product and online management system,

based on a device with GPS recognition attached to a bicycle, shunning the need

for docking stations. The device can be unlocked by a smart card or a

smartphone, allowing the user to lock and unlock a bicycle in pre-identified

places. With bikeemotion’s mobile app the user has access to information about

the nearest available bikes and also about the shortest path to get to where he

wants to go.

The system decreases investment costs, overcomes the immovability of fixed

stations in large public spaces and solves redistribution problems while

reducing a city’s carbon footprint.

10

bikeemotion is a consortium project led by Ubiwhere, responsible for the

concept’s design, project coordination and the development of the mobile

applications.

3.1.3 Smart Water Management

flows (generation, grid exchange and consumption) in Sports and Recreation

Buildings by developing a new scalable and modular building management

system based on:

• Smart metering;

• Integrated control;

• Optimal decision-making;

• Multi facility management.

This tool enables a new relationship and business model structure between

facility managers and power providers. The SportE2 modules are applicable to

both new and existing structures and answer the fundamental questions of how,

11

where, when and why energy is generated, consumed and exchanged (locally or

within the context of the smart grid/neighbourhood).

3.1.4.2 uMeter DTT

The switchover from analogue to digital terrestrial television (DTT) was a

disruptive process and had a strong social impact on the Portuguese population.

This process required a particularly close and permanent monitoring of the

quality of DTT broadcast signals. With that in mind, ANACOM (Portuguese

Communications Regulator) embraced the commitment to implement an

effective mechanism for real measurement of DTT coverage integrity, which

requires advanced technical infrastructure.

The DTT Probes Consortium, by Ubiwhere and Wavecom, developed a probe

prototype for DVB-T signal monitoring, as well as the database and central

server prototypes. This is an innovative project, which intends to develop a

modular solution that will become capable of monitoring other frequency

ranges and whose user interface can be updated according to the customer´s

needs.

3.1.4.3 uMonitor

3.3.1.1 ANACOM Net.mede Pro

ANACOM, the Portuguese communications regulator, felt the need to monitor

and validate the Quality of Service provided by Internet operators under

ANACOM’s jurisdiction.

Ubiwhere developed a Quality of Service (QoS) Measurement System to measure

the quality of Internet access provided by ISPs in a region or country. The

platform offers a set of tools (intelligent end-user applications) that monitors

the quality of the service by retrieving several metrics related to QoS concepts

(download/upload speeds, latency and Web page access, among others) and,

subsequently, reports the measurement results to a centralized system. This

system can act as a self-care platform for customers, as well as a decision

support tool for regulators and ISPs, who can see detailed statistics and reports,

manage their customers accounts and associated internet connections, and

more.

in mind.

The project is aligned with the evolution of the Smart Cities concept and aims to

explore the opportunities created by vehicular and opportunistic networks,

embedded sensing technologies, metering and big data retrieval and

transformation and system management. The ultimate goal is to create a smart

bike sharing system that is truly immersed in its city, taking advantage of the

infrastructures it provides to create completely new services for its citizens and

to actually become the mobility solution of choice in cities worldwide.

By being able to target a much wider range of users (with the inclusion of

electric bike sharing), the project will also have increased responsibilities

regarding citizen safety, health and well-being.
