Sensornetzwerke für die Stadt – und was kommt danach?

Sensoren messen Luftqualität, Verkehrsaufkommen oder Lärm und liefern damit in Echtzeit wichtige Daten für die Städte von morgen. Doch so modern diese Infrastruktur ist, so alt ist eines ihrer Probleme: Viele der kleinen Geräte benötigen Einwegbatterien oder eine aufwendige Verkabelung. Das verursacht Kosten, Wartungsaufwand und letztlich zusätzlichen Elektronikabfall.
