Introduction
Cities are increasingly characterized by overheating. The data available on specific overheating processes in the city is sparse. As part of the Smart-City project MAtchUP, the work on IoT and data processing was used to initiate the KLIPS project, which deals with precisely this topic. AI models are being tested to process measurement data for the city.
The goal
To create sustainable and liveable cities that can cope with the current challenges of climate change and urbanization. This includes improved management of the increasing overheating in the city on the basis of measurement data and small-scale forecasting. To this end, a comprehensive sensor network for measuring temperature and humidity is being set up in the model cities.

What does KLIPS do for the environment?
KLIPS has made the importance of the environment for the quality of life in Dresden measurable. The contribution to a pleasant local climate can thus be demonstrated and made accessible.
How does KLIPS improve everyday life?
In future urban development, it will become clearer where Dresden heats up more and where countermeasures can be taken. Places in the city where heat builds up can be redesigned.
What new possibilities are there?
This innovative project shows how modern technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration can be used to tackle urban challenges in the context of climate change. It offers new information and evaluation possibilities.
How can I participate?
There are new information options in the themed city map, which initially show the current overheating.

KLIPS is initially a research project. The impact is long-term. Nevertheless, KLIPS will bring concrete improvements to the everyday lives of Dresden's residents. With information from the sensors installed in the city, hot places and streets can be better identified and redesigned in the long term. We understand the temperature landscape of our city better and can also derive real-time heat reports and heat protection tips from this.

KLIPS is a climate adaptation project, but it still has a connection to mobility. If you're waiting for a bus or streetcar at a stop, you don't want to be stuck in a heatwave. Accordingly, DVB is interested in "healthy stops" and uses the findings from KLIPS.

300 sensors had to be installed. The Pikobytes team used sustainable cargo bikes to install the devices on poles and lampposts in the city. The measurements also ensure that better buildings can be constructed in the long term.

Why is KLIPS important for the economy?
The detailed temperature information can help companies to optimize their energy management. A better understanding of local climate conditions allows cooling systems to be used more efficiently and energy costs to be reduced.
How does the economy benefit from the project?
The project brings state-of-the-art Smart-City technologies to the city and gives companies the opportunity to access future trends such as artificial intelligence and IoT at an early stage.
What new opportunities are emerging?
Dresden-based companies, particularly from the technology sector, can create and test innovative technologies. The development of special urban climate sensors and AI applications opens up new business areas and innovation opportunities.
How can companies get involved?
Participating companies were able to establish partnerships with other stakeholders and the city in order to gain access to the latest technologies such as AI and sensor technology and jointly develop innovative solutions on this basis.

The results of KLIPS open up opportunities for companies to base their location decisions on relevant environmental factors such as heat development in urban areas and to benefit from the reliability of urban infrastructures or to provide for the health of their employees.

Rene GroddeTechnological innovations and pilot projects
KLIPS focuses on the close link between urban development and technology. By participating in the project, the project participants were able to actively interact with the city administration and thus contribute to the testing of new technologies that will later be implemented on a large scale. An IoT sensor network with innovative transmission options and platforms has been created and will also be available to Dresden in the future.

Rene GroddeEnergy efficiency and KLIPS
KLIPS is made possible by a sensor network in which the sensors work autonomously and are powered by small PV modules. Accordingly, the small computers that organize the measurement and data transmission must be designed very efficiently to ensure continuous operation. Such an energy-efficient design has been achieved in the project and makes KLIPS a success.
