2 Understanding the City: Making open data legible. Instrumenting the City: Integrating many data sources and filling in temporal and spatial gaps. Modeling the City: Multi-scale, coupled urban models.

3 Initial use of open data was mapping and graphing Useful, but Cities need prediction, optimization.

9 Refine, Download Direct API Data is pre-integrated (spatial and temporal alignment) and regularly updated from original sources. Allows scientist to refine queries, examine spatial and temporal characteristics, then download refined data for analysis. Direct APIs for tool development (skip the browser)

11 Runs on Amazon Web Services (Chicago, San Francisco) Readily ported to local servers (Glasgow, Newcastle)

12 ? Map of current EPA sensor station in Chicago. Many scientific and policy questions require much greater spatial and temporal resolution. How can new, lower cost sensors fill in the gaps? How can new sensors be rapidly tested and deployed?

13 A Platform for embedded sensing and ICT in urban areas. An initiative of the City of Chicago Strategic Technology Plan,

14 Argonne Waggle Technology Low-cost networked programmable nodes that collect, process, and publish real-time data on a city s environment, infrastructure, and activity. Leverage $1.3M of UChicago and Argonne internal funding to create an open platform for instrumenting cities and for smart city R&D. Current version with 14 sensors, modular and expandable. (Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Vibration, Light, Sound, Road Surface Temperature, CO, NO 2, O 3, SO 2, H 2 S, Camera, Bluetooth) Argonne environmental (bottom) and commercial air quality (top) sensor boards. cec@uchicago.edu

15 Two early test units were deployed in summer 2014 on rooftops, and 12 wall-mounted units are being installed in May-June 2015 on the University of Chicago campus. The units will be reduced in size during summer 2015 to fit into a 6 by 6 by 3 enclosure
