Facilitating Garbage Collection Using a Collaboration Platform

Person in Charge of the Project : Jin NakazawaIn a cleaning business that runs throughout the area with a cleaning car (garbage collecting car), we encounter various things such as illegal dumps, garbage disposition errors, missing collections, graffiti. Local governments generally manage these information on paper, but for this reason the work is very complicated and inefficient. We exhibit a method to facilitate the cleaning work by creating a flow of information among the staff in charge by integrating the participatory sensing application "Fujisawa minarepo" made at the university and the collaboration platform "Spark" of Cisco Systems.

Facilitating Disaster Prevention Using a Collaboration Platform

Person in Charge of the Project : Jin NakazawaIn emergencies such as the rise of a river caused by Guerrilla rainstorm, damages to the road network due to a large earthquake, the arrival of a tsunami, etc., the local governments need to know the current state of the real world such as the river water level, the road damage point, the number of inhabitants at the arrival point of the tsunami. In this research, we integrated the virtual sensing application "Sensorizer" created at the university and the collaboration platform "Spark" of Cisco Systems to create a flow of information among staff in charge to facilitate emergency response.
