Smart City Data Analysis

− Analysis of thousands of traffic, pollution, weather, congestion, public transport, waste and event sensory data to provide better transport and city management.

− Converting smart meter readings to information that can help prediction and balance of power consumption in a city.

− Monitoring elderly homes, personal and public healthcare applications.

− Event and incident analysis and prediction using (near) real-time data collected by citizen and device sensors.

− Turning social media data (e.g. Tweets) related to city issues into event and sentiment analysis.

− Any many more…

In Conclusion

− Combining data from Physical, Cyber and Social sources can give more complete, complementary data and contributes to better analysis and insights.

− Intelligent processing methods should be adaptable and able to handle dynamic, multi-modal, heterogeneous and noisy and incomplete data.

− Smart cities are complex social systems and no technological and data- analytics-driven solution alone can solve the problems.
