Design safe routes in sensing smart cities
In this project we work on the challenge that is posed by the increasing amount of surveillance in cities.

Monitoring noisy vehicles
Nuisance of loud motorcycles and other loud vehicles is a substantial problem in cities, as shown by the many submitted complaints and petitions of residents addressed to the City of Amsterdam. We are exploring the impact of the potential implementation of ‘noise flash units’ in the city.

DCODE project
In 2022, two DCODE prototeams of PhD students will be working on a grand DCODE project at AMS Institute. The Responsible Sensing Lab provides the prototeams with cases that they will work on.

Scan cars
We question and explore which public and democratic values should be embedded in the implementation of scan cars. Could they be designed in a way that makes them (more) transparent, understandable or even contestable by citizens?

Roboat
Roboat is a new kind of on-demand infrastructure: autonomous platforms will combine together to form floating bridges and stages, collect waste, deliver goods, and transport people, all while collecting data about the city. How can we re-imagine urban infrastructures with cutting-edge technologies? And which ethical questions should be considered?

Intelligent Use of Public Space: Recommendations from Report
In 2020 the Responsible Sensing Lab - together with TILT - organized two ethics & governance clinics for the project Intelligent Use of Public Space (Dutch abbreviation: IGOR). The governance clinic led to a comprehensive report with recommendations.
