Tiivistelmä
The SATERISK project studied risks associated with satellite based tracking, specifically whether the use of tracking generates additional risks. The project analyzed risks using different approaches: legal, technical and how the tracking is used. It also tried to find solutions that could help us avoid the risks in the future.
The base of the SATERISK project came from a five-credit development assignment of two Laurea’s graduate students in spring 2008. Soon, the burning issue expanded not only to an academic multi-disciplinary collaboration with the University of Lapland, ITMO in St. Petersburg, Russia, and the BORDERS network coordinated by the University of Arizona, USA, but also to a collaboration with four companies using satellite based tracking on daily basis, as well as government officials such as customs and police. The main sponsor of the SATERISK project was the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation, Tekes.
”So, you should be careful when choosing your research subject, you never know where it may take you!” stated Jouni Viitanen, Laurea’s graduate student in 2008-2009.
