FIWARE is operating in more than 350+ cities and to showcase how #FIWARE helps cities to lift their Smart City strategies off the ground, we published four editions of our #FIWARE4Cities book - with the City of Darmstadt inside! 👉👉👉 Grab your copy now: https://lnkd.in/dvM3YRG In this weekly series, we present you each time one innovative city on its #digital journey and on its way to become smart(er). This time, we have City of Darmstadt for you. Darmstadt is a pioneer and international beacon thanks to the successful R&D work of Darmstadt Technical University for innovative technologies, designed to make citizens’ everyday’s lives easier – in the city and surrounding areas. The city addresses 13 thematic optimization areas supported by digitization: Education, Cybersecurity, Data Platform, Energy, Society, Health, Commerce & Tourism, IT- Infrastructure, Industry 4.0, Security & Disaster Prevention, Culture, Mobility, and Environment. The holistic and strategic approach of the so-called city group (city administration and city owned businesses), aims to digitally develop Darmstadt into a Smart City. [ui!], ekom21 and the DA-RZ computer centre jointly implemented in the city of Darmstadt Europe’s largest urban data platform using [ui!] UrbanPulse - powered by FIWARE. [ui!] Urban Pulse The city’s goal is to support and accelerate necessary urban decision-making and planning processes through the availability and analysis of networked data. The data is non-personal data, such as measurements of the extensive environmental sensor network, data from the mobility volume including public transport and other non-personal data of everyday life - which is collected, processed, analysed and visualised. Data from different sources are connected in order to further develop the quality of the city’s life: e.g. measured values using the data platform or additional data from everyday urban life (people moving in and out, vehicle registrations, etc.). It is crucial to the city of Darmstadt to involve citizens in planning and decision-making. The public platform COCKPIT offers the opportunity to submit one’s own ideas for using the data platform. Currently, data on the environment, traffic, rubbish bins and the zoo are being collected and visualised there. For all urban data, the city of Darmstadt retains data sovereignty and can thus decide for itself which data is processed further and to whom it is passed on and for what purpose. #SmartDataModels #technology #sustainability #SmartCities #opensource #opendata #digitaltransformation Anastasiia Holub Kseniia Chernikova Andrea Battaglia Anna Katharina Beyer Stefano De Panfilis Jesus Ruiz Lydia Montandon Tonia Sapia Ángeles Tejado Sánchez Rosemah Zia Fernando López Aguilar Jason Fox Hendrik Engel Andrii Baidak Vera Böhner Clara Pezuela Karen Vega Francisco Melendez Alberto Abella, PhD Laura Ileana Schipani

Building Smarter Cities with Data Science Cities around the world are becoming smarter, thanks to data science. By analyzing vast amounts of data, cities can optimize traffic flow, reduce energy consumption, and improve public safety. 🏙️ Case Study: Barcelona implemented a data-driven approach to manage its public transportation system. By analyzing traffic patterns and commuter behavior, the city reduced traffic congestion by 20% and cut public transportation delays by 30%. 📊 Key Facts: • Energy Savings: Smart city initiatives can reduce energy usage by up to 20%. • Traffic Reduction: Data-driven traffic management can decrease congestion by 30%. • Safety Improvement: Predictive policing models can reduce crime rates by 10-20%. #SmartCities #DataScience #UrbanInnovation #DatalytixCloud

Data to the Rescue: How Smart Cities are Using Science to Level Up ️ Cities are growing, and with that growth comes challenges. Traffic jams, overflowing landfills, and inefficient energy use can make urban life stressful. But there's a secret weapon in the fight for a better tomorrow: data science! Imagine a city that can predict traffic jams before they happen, optimize waste collection routes, and even conserve energy use in buildings. That's the power of data science in action. Here's how it works: * Sensors everywhere: Think smart meters in buildings, traffic cameras on roads, and even cameras that monitor waste bins. These little data ninjas collect real-time information about what's happening in the city. * Data analysis superpowers: Data scientists are the wizards behind the curtain. They use fancy algorithms to analyze all that information, uncovering patterns and trends. * Smarter decisions, better outcomes: With these insights, city planners can make data-driven decisions. They can adjust traffic lights, optimize waste collection schedules, and even identify areas for renewable energy sources. The benefits are pretty amazing: * Traffic chills: Real-time traffic data can be used to adjust traffic lights and improve traffic flow, reducing congestion and saving you time on your commute. * Trash titans: Data can help cities identify areas that generate the most waste and optimize collection routes, saving money and fuel. * Energy efficiency experts: By analyzing energy use patterns, cities can identify buildings that are guzzling power and implement energy-saving measures. This is just the beginning! As data science continues to evolve, we can expect even more exciting developments in smart cities. Imagine cities that automatically adjust to weather conditions, or that personalize public services based on your needs. The future of cities is looking bright, and data science is leading the way! #smartCities #datascience #urbanplanning #talentserve TalentServe

We know one of the biggest challenges with smart cities is interoperability. There are challenges about the hardware parts of cities. There are challenges about the software parts of systems. And there are challenges about the interaction we have with solutions. We can magnify our vision. We can save us invaluable time. We can enhance our ability to be precise. We can refine our precision. We can amplify our collaboration. We need to make these brains more capable if we're going to have smart city data hub that can connect, they can adapt, they can learn, they can reason about our cities.
