Editorial
ClouT project was officially launched on April 1st
2013, on behalf of the European Commission and the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in Japan. ClouT, which stands for “cloud of things”, is providing infrastructure, services, tools and applications that will be used by municipalities, citizens, service developers and application integrators to create, deploy and manage applications that take advantage of the latest advances in the Internet of Things (IoT) and Cloud domains. The project aims at providing a reference Cloud + IoT architecture and developing its instances to be deployed in 4 pilot cities: Santander, Genova, Fujisawa and Mitaka. The ClouT project is bringing together prestigious private companies such as ST Microelectronics, Engineering Ingegneria Informatica SpA, Panasonic, NTT East, NTT R&D as well as academic institutes such as CEA-LETI, University of Cantabria, Keio University and National Institute of Informatics, which are strongly committed to bring this first EU-Japan initiative to a success.
ClouT project has just entered into its final phase where the technical work has been transformed into concrete implementations and deployments. This third edition of the ClouT newsletter will give you the latest news on the project results including the status of the current ClouT field trials running in four pilot cities and the access to the 2
nd
year public deliverables. It will also give you feedbacks from our interactions with various stakeholders such as IoT Home Alliance of Japan, FESTIVAL project, Swedish Embassy, etc. You can also explore the two successful international workshops organized: Self-IoT 2015 at the ICAC’15 conference and SmartCities’ 15 at the Ubicomp’15 conference. This month you can still meet ClouT at ICT 2015 in Portugal and IoT Conference 2015 in Seoul. Continue following ClouT via Twitter and LinkedIn accounts that have just been launched! Keep tuned for our final intercontinental trial!

ClouT 2015 Field Trials latest results
Field trials leverage on ClouT Reference Architecture for the implementation of a set of applications targeting different domains of the Smart City paradigm. The running applications aim at enabling end-users (citizens, municipality technicians, tourists, policy makers, etc.) to naturally interact with the city, its services and other end-users.
MITAKA - “Paw Collection”
Paw Collection societal impact evaluation
The application contributes to the prevention of isolation of elderly people, by encouraging them to go out and walk through suggested routes that match their interests. The trial has been finalised and the results have been evaluated. For instance 53% answered going out increased, 77% answered enjoyed going out more.

GENOVA - “I don’t risk”
I don’t risk is one of the most popular mobile applications of Genova City
This application aims to inform citizens about good practices and general information about environmental risks and emergency situations by using environmental data from weather sensors, hydrometers, webcams, etc. With additional features added in 2015, it has become the top mobile application of the Genova City with more than 4000 downloads and average rating of 4/5 based on 51 reviews Contact: [email protected] More information: clout-project.eu/...i-dont-risk-field-trial
FUJISAWA - “Surfboard / Smiley Coupon”
Fujisawa surfboard and smiley Coupon field trials have been successfully
demonstrated on 27th May 2015 in Kamakura station
The Eno-kama Info Surfboard, and Smiley Coupon applications aim to change tourist behaviour by leveraging IoT. These two applications are based on ClouT architecture and are deployed in Kamakura station in cooperation with Enoshima Electric Railway Co., Ltd. While Surfboard provides city context information, Smiley coupons provides discounts at the local shops. The more you smile the more you have discount!

FUJISAWA - “Sensorized garbage cars”
This application aims to collect atmospheric information by mobile sensor system installed on garbage collection cars in Fujisawa City. Fujisawa municipality can monitor the location and operational status of each garbage collection car through the Control Center application. Contact: [email protected] More information: clout-project.eu/...sensorized-garbage-cars
Control Center application: Red circles indicate locations of each car and the color of a trajectory indicate the value level of the selected sensor type
SANTANDER - “Traffic Mobility Management”
New mobility application screenshots
This application is designed to enable citizens and visitors to get access to enhanced urban mobility experience and to leverage city transportation resources efficiently. Through a single application it is possible to obtain information related to public buses fleet, bikes, taxis, trains, traffic parameters as well as with environmental indicators.

Upcoming trials for the ClouT final phase
Replication of ClouT Smiley Coupon from Fujisawa to Santander!
After the successful trial of the Smiley Coupon in Fujisawa, ClouT replicates it in the Santander city. The application
aims at providing customized coupons for the citizens and visitors according to their degree of smile. Enhanced
shopping experience in Santander city will be achieved thanks to the participation of a wide range of commercial
establishments such as restaurants and shops (fashion, souvenirs, etc.).
Smiley Coupon in Fujisawa Smiley Coupon in Santander
Smiley Coupon will be running in Santander from December 2015 in the entrance of the tourism office within a public display the e-kiosk (500 visitors per month in the winter period). More information: clout-project.eu/field-trials/...smiley-coupon-field-trial-replication
ClouT Sanpoki application now available in AppStore and Google Play
After the successful completion of the Mitaka “Paw Collection” trial, the feedbacks have been used to release
the next version of the application, called Sanpoki, which has been launched in September 26th
2015 for the
purpose of health improvement, local community activation and city attractiveness.
The participants can play “stamp rally” game with the distributed BLE beacons in
179 places, the deployed terminals automatically detect the participants’ visit to
those particular places. By the rules of the game, after visiting a place, participants
are requested to take photo of attractive things nearest the place. As the result of
this, many evidences of the attractiveness of the city can be collected and then
used for updating Mitaka’s long term plan. This trial will continue until November
26th
2015. Within 2 weeks, 400 users used Sanpoki (> 6,000 pictures posted).
