Goal and impact

This is a research project to investigate whether it is possible to predict lead pipes in a home. Lead in drinking water is harmful to health, especially for children and pregnant women. Lead water pipes can occur in properties built before 1960. Using data from housing associations on which homes have lead found in them, we want to investigate whether we can predict in which homes in the private sector there is an increased risk of finding lead. The only personal data used during this project will be addresses. The first phase is an investigation to see if it is at all possible to predict lead pipes from data. In case the first phase shows that this is possible, in the second phase we would like to write to the addresses where an increased risk of lead is predicted by means of a letter. In this letter, we would issue a warning about the possible presence of lead with the advice to carry out an inspection for lead.

  • Optimising waste collection

    Municipality of Amsterdam

    This algorithm has a low impact. Through weighing data and sensor data, we know how full a waste container is. As a result, we only need to empty the full containers. As a result, Amsterdam residents can always dispose of their waste.
