FOCUS AREAS
As the development of “Internet of Things” continues to accelerate, with a predicted 125 billion devices connected by 2030, we aim to make full use of this potential by not only facilitating communication and knowledge sharing between public decision makers and the market, but also collaboration and system integration between individual manufactures and their technical solutions.

In the future, many of these devices will be located in urban areas, where they will contribute to better services for citizens in regards to light, waste management and traffic flow.
Right now many of the new devices differ broadly in terms of network infrastructure and capabilities, so at DOLL we are testing a wide range of networking solutions, from LoRaWAN to lightning fast 5G.
This technological development also highlights the possibility for light to be used more effectively as a means of creating security and raising our overall experience of the urban space: for example, light that adjusts to different needs and levels of activity. At the same time, street lighting infrastructure also shows great potential to support various network and sensor technologies.
The testing and demonstration of LED-based outdoor lighting is therefore an essential part of DOLL Living Lab, where more than 80 solutions are tested side-by-side.
The real-time measurement of particulate pollution and noise, for example, can provide valuable information on how we can best organize our infrastructure. This benefits both individual citizens and society as a whole.
Imagine a future where waste containers can tell when it’s time to be emptied and intelligent systems plan the most optimal collection routes – routes that may even take into account the current traffic situation.
Visit DOLL and experience the future of waste management today.
A considerable portion of road traffic in the world’s major cities is made up of drivers searching for parking spots. This creates unnecessary congestion, is waste of resources and also contributes to air pollution. At DOLL we test several different solutions for intelligent parking guidance and detection – both in traditional parking bays and along the curb.
The development of self-driven cars is also gaining momentum and in rural areas there is particularly great potential for autonomous public transport. Therefore, self-driven buses with app-based dynamic routing will also become a regular part of the street scene at DOLL from 2019.

Together with our base organisation, Gate 21, we have a strong capability to work with funds, cities, knowledge institutions, and the private sector. Therefore, a portfolio of development projects keeps build upon existing implementations. In the coming period, this count:
- Cleantech TIPP: Deployment of smart waste management in the City of Albertslund, Interreg funds
- LINC: Autonomous busses, test of dynamic bus service, EU-funds
- Smart City Cluster Denmark: Program of excellence together with the market, national funds
- The Regional Datahub: development and test of prototypes, regional funds
- Lighting Metropolis: Human-centric intelligent urban lighting, Interreg funds
- LUCIA: Pilot projects for sustainable and smart urban lighting solutions across the Baltic Sea region. Interreg funds.
