About the Project

UCD LAB - Urban Co-creation Data Lab

This project aimed at developing a new generation of public services in the context of smart cities exploiting supercomputing facilities and public and private data to analyze complex combinations of large datasets in areas of public interest.

By building analytical capabilities and services in these areas, municipalities will be in a position to better respond to the following challenges:

  • Mobility: by supporting new planning and management approaches together with new tools to evaluate impact and predict behaviors
  • Waste management: by identifying patterns to support the prediction of the production of urban waste associated with a variety of context information (e.g. events, climate situation, etc.)
  • Parking: by creating new models either to predict or to generate viable alternatives for illegal parking in the city.
  • Pollution: by developing predictive models for the propagation of liquid and atmospheric pollutants
  • Crowd management: by building impact prediction models based on the mobility/people flows in large events.

 

 

Our contribution

In the UCD LAB - Urban Co-creation Data Lab project, NOVA IMS coordinated the development of a Smart Management Platform by preparing data and refining analytical services. We deployed these services in co-creation labs, connected them with HPC infrastructure, and validated them in multiple cities. Additionally, we facilitated the dissemination of results and ensured the long-term sustainability of the project's outcomes.
