Tram equipped with mobile climate station

Measure and improve air quality together - get on board!
As a Smart City model city, Mannheim is working on concepts and implementations of a sustainable and liveable city of tomorrow, carried out by Smart City Mannheim GmbH. One innovative approach is the use of trams as mobile measuring stations for weather and environmental data. The trams are equipped with Thies Clima sensors to record weather data such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction as well as air quality. GPS and electronic magnetic compass allow more precise data to be collected for the current location. With its own sensors optimised for mobile applications, Thies Clima offers solutions for the growing need for data-based environmental management in urban areas.
