Smart city platform for environmental and traffic monitoring and simulation

Within the ITEA Project ESTABLISH (Environmental Sensing To Act for a Better quality of LIfe: Smart Health), partners Prodevelop and HI-Iberia have developed a smart city platform with a set of smart services to monitor and make decisions on the city traffic and pollution, as well as providing optimised routes for users.

Briefly, the platform architecture is composed of several layers. The acquisition layer is responsible for loading and cleaning information from various open data sources such as traffic, air pollution, public transport or weather, the knowledge layer stores and analyses the information, the interconnection layer allows connection with other solutions, and the smart services layer includes the mobility services.

As a final result, this platform includes the following services: a mobile app for citizens, a web app for pollution and traffic predictions and simulations, and a web app for realtime data visualisation dashboards. The mobile app provides some real-time mobility recommendations and ecological routes using data fusion and deep learning techniques. Moreover, one of the web apps provides city authorities help on the urban mobility planning bringing them seven-day predictions about traffic and pollution and simulations of pollution scenarios in the city; meanwhile the other web app, a city authority management dashboard, uses a complex event detector to define time-series events.

At this stage, Prodevelop and HI-Iberia in conversation with Valencia and Madrid City Councils "for the deployment of a few pilots prior to future commercialisation. If you are interested in learning more about the possibilities of this platform for you or your city, do not hesitate to contact Ismael Torres: itorres@prodevelop.es and Diego Fuentes: dfuentes@hi-iberia.es, the corresponding Project Managers in Prodevelop and HI-Iberia
