Urban Concept
In Copenhagen, the city plays a central role in using data to help citizens achieve high-quality lifestyles. The specific strategy is to improve the efficiency of the entire city by focusing on areas such as "health", "Energy and Climate", "citizen", and "Education" through data utilization, infrastructure development, and cooperation with various regional organizations. The main activities are as follows.
CITS(Copenhagen Intelligent Traffic Solutions)
CITS is a project to improve traffic congestion, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and improve public safety. Aiming to introduce the most advanced Intelligent Transport Systems (Intelligent Transport Systems) by 2018, we are collecting location information of car and bicycle users from the city via Wi-Fi terminals while maintaining an appropriate level of privacy. We are analyzing long-term trends and the correlation between other parameters such as weather information and traffic congestion. By 2018, travel times for bicycle and bus users are expected to be reduced by 10%.
DOLL(Danish Outdoor Lighting Lab)
They have installed the latest lighting solutions from lighting related companies in Japan at a demonstration site in an office and residential area. It is also equipped with sensors that measure the local temperature and pollutant distribution, and measures information such as street temperature and air pollutant concentration. It serves as a showroom where lighting products from multiple manufacturers can be compared side by side in the field. As an example, Wi-Fi networks were installed in some areas of the Industrial Park, which is a demonstration test site and showroom.
Each lighting solution is connected to the Internet and a "lighting platform" is built. In addition to the city's budget, the city is also seeking to achieve carbon neutrality by 2025 through investments from partner organizations.
Overview of Oprat Forms (Building)
Hitachi Consulting collaborated with Living Plan IT to create the world's first integrated platform for data collection, integration, and sharing of individual smart city initiatives. (The platform is from Living Plan IT.)
How to use big data
Wireless LAN access points are installed on streetlights, and mobile data such as people, cars, and motorcycles collected by Wi-Fi devices and Bluetooth sensing are analyzed. By using this system to track traffic vehicles in real time, we have optimized the use of traffic signals and other equipment, thereby reducing CO2 emissions and shortening transport and travel times. Mobile phones, sensors in trash cans, sewage treatment systems, etc.
Data on air quality and CO2 emissions are collected and used to improve air pollution and reduce CO2 emissions. Using Wi-Fi access from Copenhagen Airport users' mobile phones, the airport provides real-time and historical 3D mapping of location and movement for use in predicting behavior and usage.
The collected data will be used to create an urban big data exchange market between companies (City Data Exchange) and to integrate public and private data. This data market is also expected to be used for business planning and the prediction of new business opportunities.
IBM in the US uses this data to establish healthcare competency centers in Denmark to conduct research and development of solutions for the entire healthcare value chain, from life sciences to clinical practice.
