Baden-Württemberg Foundation promotes Heidelberg research project involving routing service to avoid local heat stress
Where in Heidelberg is it particularly hot and how does local heat stress affect at-risk groups? This question is being addressed by a research project involving the Geoinformatics Research Group and the TdLab Geography of the Institute of Geography of Heidelberg University, and the Heidelberg Institute for Geoinformation Technology, along with various other cooperation partners. The aim is to identify heat stress areas in the city based on sensor data and to use this data to calculate routes that are cooler and shadier. The project is intended to support those who are particularly heat-sensitive. ...
