During August and September we started to gather long-term data on river navigation routes and speeds in the Peruvian Amazonia. A few river boat companies are collaborating with us and together with them we established a pilot system of tracking devices that send real-time location information from river boats to our server.

This information is  made available for the local actors trough an sms service. The long-term monitoring data will be used to analyze the spatio-temporal changes in river navigation and accessibility patterns. More information regarding this project will soon be available on this site.
