for your urban requirements

Four steps to a smart city or smart region with [ui!]

 

How can our municipality become smart?

What do I need and where do I get support from?
  • What do I need to consider?
  • What do I need?
  • How can I use existing data?
  • What options do we have for presenting our data?
  • How do I support administrative staff in making decisions?
  • Is the data in real time?
  • What costs will we incur?
  • Are there any funding opportunities?

We will be happy to answer your questions and accompany you on your journey. Below you will find four options that are necessary or very helpful for the successful digitalisation of your municipality:

1. Digitale Basis-Infrastruktur

Offene Urbane Datenplattform

The Open Urban data Platform [ui!] UrbanPulse forms the basis for a large number of data-driven use cases and future projects to tackle the challenges facing a city or region.

It is a digital infrastructure for integrating existing and new types of infrastructure, data storage and services from the public and private sectors.

  • We support cities, municipalities, districts and regions in their efforts to collect, process and analyse all existing and anonymised urban data on a central data platform and make it available for new services as added value for cities, municipalities and utility service providers.

  • These solutions are based on an open urban data platform - the [ui!] UrbanPulse - where all the data from a city's various IT systems is uploaded so that it can be used for new smart city services in real time. It fulfils the current requirements of DIN SPEC 91357 - Reference Architecture Model Open Urban Platform (OUP).

  • Using a large number of connectors, we are able to link a wide variety of IT systems with one another in such a way that all of a city's information can be utilised and made visible, while at the same time data sovereignty remains with the respective provider. In this way, the platform not only provides integrated access to urban data, it also prevents the risk of data misuse.

 

The digitalisation of the public sector generates municipal data as part of digital applications and municipal infrastructures using digital measurement and control devices. This data is often stored in silos in municipal infrastructures and is used in a specialised and isolated manner. By using a municipal data platform in accordance with DIN SPEC 91357, this data can be securely brought together in a central location.

2. Visual processing of the data

Generate and visualise knowledge from data

The data collected, analysed and processed on the [ui!] UrbanPulse open data platform is presented to interested citizens in a user-friendly way via the web-based application [ui!] COCKPIT visual. Various municipal topics are presented in different "tiles", such as

  • The data for the land utilisation (available green space in comparison to the built-up area) are shown.
  • Information on waste management (amount of waste compared to the proportion of recycled waste) can be visualised.
  • CO2 savings: This tile offers the possibility to display the CO2 emissions saved in the various areas. aufzulisten und tagesaktuell zu vergleichen.
  • Energy mix: The energy efficiencies of the various municipal properties can be presented and compared here in a very comprehensible manner, similar to the energy performance certificate. At the same time, a target value can be defined.
  • Energy history: Here you can see how much energy has been generated from various sources over the last 7 days, including renewable energy sources compared to fossil fuels.
  • Renewable energies: In line with the "Energy history" tile, you can view the generation and share of renewable energies in a pie chart.

Environmental protection

  • Environmental measurement data: We offer you several available tiles for this use case.
  • Smart Waste: Intelligent waste bins of the "Big Belly" or "Mr Fill" type can be connected.
  • Noise pollution: Sensors that continuously record noise pollution can be integrated for this use case. These are clearly displayed on a tile.
  • Flood protection: A tile is available for the flood protection use case, which both citizens and decision-makers can use to constantly view the current water level.

Energy efficiency

  • Charging infrastructure: The charging stations of a provider can be integrated. A suitable connector must already be available for the provider.
  • Street lighting: Municipal street lights can be integrated and displayed. The luminaires must come from the same system - this currently includes Schréder Exedra, Philips CityTouch and Schréder Owlet IoT.
  • Astro clock: The planned individual switching times of the street lighting depending on the times of the sun are graphically processed and clearly displayed here. This enables the local authority to estimate how much electricity will be consumed by the sun-controlled switching times today.
  • Presence-dependent lighting control: If you have installed a lighting control system that regulates the brightness depending on presence, you can connect this to [ui!] EASY and display both the current brightness and the course of the day in the [ui!] COCKPIT.
  • Energy savings: In addition to the "Energy history" tile, you can view the total annual energy saved here. This is compared with the previous year and displayed as CO2 equivalents saved.
  • Solar energy: The output of a PV system varies and naturally depends on the available solar radiation. With this tile, you can see directly how much the municipal PV systems connected to the data platform are currently generating, as well as the accumulated energy over the day.
  • City information: This tile displays information on the area of the city, the current number of inhabitants, the number of data sources and other important key figures. This tile is always automatically included in the [ui!] EASY solution.

Mobility, traffic & parking space management

  • Smart Parking: The percentage occupancy of parking spaces can be displayed in a tile. This includes both on-street parking sensors and camera-based systems that record the occupancy of a parking space.
  • Parking: In addition to the "Smart Parking" tile, various parking spaces and their current utilisation can be integrated here. These are displayed in rotation so that the user has an overview of all the car parks in the municipality that are recorded and connected.
  • Modal split: The "Modal split" tile can be used to visualise how modalities are used in the municipality. It can be used to answer citizens' questions, e.g. how many people use public transport, the bicycle or their own car.
  • Charging stations: The occupancy of several charging points at one location is shown in a list. At the same time, it is also recorded whether the associated car park is also available. In this way, users can see in advance whether it is worth travelling to the charging point.
  • Digital city tour: You can use this tile to invite your citizens to take a digital city tour. Of course, you can also link another application here that invites citizens to interact more.
  • Traffic monitoring: This tile shows you the current traffic volume and the vehicles counted over the last 24 hours at a glance. You can immediately see anomalies and recognise recurring patterns and take specific and targeted measures to counteract any increased traffic volume.
  • Traffic-dependent light control: As with presence-dependent light control, which is primarily aimed at pedestrians, it is of course also worth adapting the light control of the street lighting to the traffic. With this tile, you can view both the counted vehicles and thus the current traffic, as well as the progression over time.
  • Traffic information: This tile displays the current roadworks in the area of the municipality in a user-friendly way. The map view complements this tile perfectly, as users can view the current and even planned roadworks directly on the map.


[ui!] FESTIVAL-COCKPIT

Using the [ui!] Festival COCKPIT, which was specially developed for large events, important data such as traffic volume and traffic speeds, weather data, car park occupancy, visitor numbers, temperature and environmental data, towing procedures and much more can be displayed on a control station in real time. This means that those responsible have an up-to-date overview at all times and can intervene if necessary.

3. [ui!] DATALAB

Municipal situation picture using AI - as a decision-making aid

In addition to the provision of urban data prepared using [ui!] UrbanPulse for a public COCKPIT, further, more detailed information can be made available to decision-makers in a [ui!] DATALAB for the creation of a real-time-based, municipal situation picture to improve decision-making.

The visualisation tool is scalable and allows users to create their own queries and analyses. Different types of visualisation support this, such as

  • Line charts
  • Bar charts
  • Gauge diagrams
  • Heatmaps
  • 2D maps
  • 3D maps
  • data tables
  • and more...

Further filter options are:

  • Date and time filter
  • Slider
  • Selection filter
  • and more...

Forecasts

We offer automated, time series-based forecasting services based on artificial intelligence for a wide range of data sources. Forecast horizons are up to one week into the future. Forecasts complement historical data in a way that allows you to move from reacting to acting for different use cases.

Recommendations for action

Based on [ui!]'s data analyses, you receive recommendations for action in natural language or with graphical components.
