LOTI  IoT Week

#LOTIhelps London boroughs work together, bringing the best of digital, technology and data to improve public services for Londoners.

London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI)

A week-long sprint exploring how London boroughs can use IoT-enabled smart street infrastructure for the benefit of all Londoners.

Coin Street Neigbourhood Centre

“How can boroughs use IoT-enabled smart street infrastructure for the benefit of all Londoners?” The London Office of Technology and Innovation (LOTI) and the GLA invite you to take part in an accelerator week to explore this question and help address the biggest challenges facing London boroughs’ use of the Internet of Things (IoT) in Smart Street Infrastructure. Key areas that need to be addressed include: <ul><li>Business Case and Effectiveness: How can boroughs make informed decisions about which (if any) IoT technologies can play a role in delivering their desired outcomes? How should this shape their engagement with the market?</li><li>Data and Insights: Given that the data collected by smart street infrastructure often relates to issues that require a pan-London response, how can we ensure comparable data is available from across many boroughs to gain valuable insights for the whole of London?</li><li>Ethics &amp; Public Trust: How can we ensure that IoT data collection in public spaces is done for the benefit of citizens in a way that is transparent, ethical and engenders citizens’ trust and confidence? </li></ul>There have been multiple pilots and studies carried out on these challenges already at an EU, national and city level, which have gone some way to addressing these challenges. However, navigating the findings from these sources is difficult and time consuming. There is a need for this information to be curated and tested by London boroughs. FormatOur timetable for the week is as follows:<ul><li>Monday 09:00-16:30 (General Attendance) at Coin Street </li></ul>Representatives from organisations involved in this field are invited to gather to hear about London&#x27;s challenges and share their insights. The afternoon will focus on establishing a list of the key specific questions boroughs most wish to answer. <ul><li>Tuesday-Thursday 09:45-15:30 (Research Groups): at Greater London Authority and London Councils</li></ul>Those questions will be researched and curated by volunteers from local government, academia, and other institutions with expertise in this field. If you would like to participate, please read <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fTlfV4S9K_NpcLl4LHPeaIW1CrO24HomszdRuF6ED-Q/edit?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">this briefing</a> and register your interest on this page. <ul><li>Friday 12:00-14:00 (General Attendance) at Coin Street</li></ul>At the end of the week, a public Show and Tell will be held to share the best answers to each question. Feedback and next steps will be shared by a panel of made London boroughs.Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please register your interest as soon as possible to attend.
