WELCOME TO THE MONICA PROJECT
Do you want to know what the Internet of Things can do for your city? The MONICA project will demonstrate how cities can use IoT technologies to manage sound and security at large, open-air cultural and sporting events taking place in the city.
Based on several devices such as smart wristbands, video cameras, loudspeakers, mobile phones and smart glasses, MONICA will be able to offer a portfolio of applications for enhanced city services, which will be demonstrated in six different European cities, involving thousands of application users.

MEET OUR SIX CITY PILOTS
Six pilot sites will demonstrate the technology solutions at concerts, festivals, sporting events and city happenings, which attract millions of people.
Each of the sites will choose a number of relevant applications that they wish to deploy. Whereas some cities will emphasise optimal concert sound and enhanced noise control, and others look to optimising security, all pilots will actively involve their citizens, engaging 10,000 people in the evaluation process.

CHECK OUT THE APPLICATIONS
Three ecosystems and their applications address the different needs in management of events. They all relate to real challenges in terms of public security and safety, sound and noise control as well as user engagement and innovation.
