How can we help cities achieve their aspirations? 1. Sensor data assimilation Data diversity, heterogeneity Data accuracy, sparsity Data volume 1. Modelling human demand Understand how people use the city infrastructure Infer demand patterns 1. Operations & Planning Factor in uncertainty

Outline Sensor data assimilation Continuous assimilation of real-time traffic data Understanding/Modeling human demand Characterizing urban dynamics from digital traces Operations & Planning Leveraging mathematical programming for planning in an uncertain world

Our Stockholm Experience (2009) GPS devices Induction loops Axle counters Traffic lights Parking meters Cameras MCS Weather stations Microblogs Real-time assimilation, mediation (e.g. de-noising), aggregation (e.g. key traffic metrics) Geomatching Geotracking Traffic metrics

Noisy GPS Data To become useful, GPS data has to be related to the underlying infrastructure (e.g., road or rail network) by means of map matching algorithms, which are often computationally expensive In addition, GPS data is sampled at irregular possibly large time intervals, which requires advanced analytics to reconstruct with high probability GPS trajectories Finally, GPS data is not accurate and often needs to be cleaned to remove erroneous observations.

Example: Transportation infrastructure Types of decisions: The routes to create or expand The combination of transport modes The capacity of each route For alternative transport (e.g. zipcar, city bikes, electric vehicle stations), the location and capacity of each station New road New rail City bike Zipcar Electric car charge station

IBM Research and Development - Ireland Example: Transportation infrastructure Sources of uncertainty: Origin-destination matrices How sensitive is the investment plan to variations in the O-D matrices? Population growth How will a 10% increase in population affect our carbon footprint? Changes in the built environment How will industrial expansion affect the infrastructure? Transport mode preference New road New rail City bike Zipcar Electric car charge station How sensitive is the plan to people s preference for alternative transport?
