Data
Years of activity have allowed us to collect a considerable amount of data concerning the city.
This data is the basis for the operation of many services useful to the community, and are used daily by applications and predictive models.
We are proud of our Open approach, giving access to our data in order to support and enhance the quality of life in the city.
Students'
Project
Every year since 1988, WPI students have carried out relevant projects in order to solve issues and problems of the city of Venice with a scientific and technological approach. In 30 years of activity, the projects have covered a wide range of topics, from conservation of cultural heritage to in-depth analysis of the hydrogeological data of the lagoon. Many of these projects have inspired and started the creation of Venetian start-ups.

Applications
& Tools
Thanks to the knowledge collected over the years, we have produced a wide range of applications and tools, ranging from data visualization tools to tourist flow management models.

Venice Tide latency
This web application allows you to see the level of the water in different segments of the canals in relation to the water level at Punta Salute at the same times. The water levels displayed were data for the time interval consisting of a full tide cycle. There is data for every ten minutes between November 10th to November 30th, 2014. This application demonstrates how the water propagates through the canals in relation to the value at Punta Salute. Click on the image below to go to the web page.
