Projects
LIFE Green Heart :
As part of COP21, the main objective of the LIFE Green Heart project in Toulouse is to lower the temperature by 3°C within a 30-hectare area and ensure the cooling of surrounding neighborhoods. By combating the phenomenon of heat islands in dense urban environments, the project will make the city of Toulouse more resilient and better adapted to the rising temperatures resulting from climate change. WaltR is the air quality specialist within the consortium and hasalready installed various types of sensors (such as WaltRCam, microsensors, etc.) to monitor air quality as part of this project, as well as its broader impacts across the Toulouse region.

The Automated Airport Emissions Monitoring project at Roissy aims to address the rapid growth of air transport by working towards carbon neutrality by 2050. Currently, monitoring emissions from ground units such as Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) is done empirically, leading to significant time consumption. WaltR's objectives include automatic detection of APU usage, measuring the consumption of the Air Conditioning Unit (ACU), and real-time transmission of data to a mobile application, accompanied by notification to the airline in case of unnecessary APU usage. The concept relies on implementing a WaltR infrared camera to detect emissions from the APU outlet, along with the design of an industrialization plan and an economic model.
SmartVitiNet :
SmartVitiNet is an innovative project aimed at developing, testing, and bringing to market a holistic plant protection and phytosanitary system based on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles, new observation platforms, and ready-to-use sensors. The project also aims to establish a Precision Viticulture Competence Center.

Currently, there is no satellite measurement of CO2 emissions (the CO2M satellite that will
provide such data is scheduled to be launched in 2024/2025), and ground infrastructures to do so are
costly.
The Nice Côte d'Azur metropolis aims to establish regular monitoring of its anthropogenic CO2
and NO2/NOx emissions across its territory, consisting of 51 municipalities. Leveraging its expertise in
satellite data, WaltR will provide a database enabling access to NO2/NOx and CO2 emission rates from
the past two years, along with maps of NO2 concentrations over an area of 10,000 km² with a spatial
resolution of 0.5 km.
As part of the partnership between the city of Nice and the district of Abidjan, a
similar service will also be provided to the city of Abidjan.
