About the project
IoT applications for Cities (IoTa) project offers a training and use case definition to leverage Internet of Things systems in Urban Mobility initiatives. IoTa project is funded by EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union. EIT Urban Mobility acts to accelerate positive change on mobility to make urban spaces more liveable. Learn more: eiturbanmobility.eu. This project is led by UPF in collaboration with NFF, CARNET, FACTUAL, and PowerHUB.
