GaiaHub

GaiaHub is dedicated to delivering high-accuracy licence plate recognition using video data. Our system will utilise cameras equipped with sophisticated image processing capabilities to identify vehicle licence plates upon entry and exit of designated zones in Liepāja. By linking plate data to a vehicle registry, we can extract specific vehicle characteristics (type, model year and fuel type) together with traffic density data from existing urban sensors, which will be used to calculate precise CO2 emission levels using the SUMO emission calculator.
This proposal will directly tackle Liepāja’s emissions by providing a technological solution that allows the city to monitor and control emissions in real-time and supports dynamic policy-making and public engagement. By enabling a shift towards more accurate and proactive environmental management, it will help the city to effectively reduce its carbon footprint, improve air quality and advance toward its goal of becoming a climate-neutral city. The project will establish a benchmark for urban environmental management, demonstrating how integrated technological solutions can address complex sustainability challenges effectively.
GaiaHub’s solution will enable all of Liepāja KPIs to be implemented, directly aligning with RAPTOR project objectives for sustainable urban mobility. The project will also establish a benchmark for urban environmental management, demonstrating how integrated technological solutions can address complex sustainability challenges effectively.
