Policymakers get informed on scan vehicle collaboration

In February 2024, the Human Values for Smarter Cities research project was featured in an article published on Binnenlands Bestuur, the knowledge platform for policymakers working for and with the Dutch government.

The article sheds light on the development of new scan vehicles set to be deployed in Amsterdam. Collaborating with partners such as TU Delft, Waag Futurelab, AMS, and a citizen panel, the municipality and AUAS are exploring suitable applications of the scan fiets (scan bicycle) on a both practical and ethical level. CivicIxD researchers Mike de Kreek and Tessa Steenkamp provide insight into the ongoing research, emphasizing its focus on facilitating citizen participation across all stages of smart city technology development.
