Challenge
Build an interoperable architecture enabling data-driven IoT applications; enable self-awareness in smart city platform with programmability and dependability properties; provide libraries and tools for scalable knowledge extraction from distributed information sources; design and assess attractive services and applications; create an ecosystem of innovators with realistic win-win business models.
Approach
The BigClouT project is jointly funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program and the Commissioned Research of NICT of Japan. It involved for 3 years (2016-2019) 11 international companies and public authorities based in France, Italy, UK and Japan.

Solution
Digital Ecosystem
Its outcome is an integrated smart city platform, deployed and validated in 4 pilot cities targeting applications in Business tourism, Smart Transportation and Smart Energy Management, through Edge Processing & Storage and City Data Access applications. Knowage, our open source business suite, is among the main tools used for big data analysis and data visualization for these applications. The pilots allowed:
- Grenoble, providing better and improved services to visitors and increasing attraction
- Tsukuba, providing tourism, traffic and environmental data in real time
- Fujisawa, monitoring incidents such as graffiti, problems with garbage etc.
- Bristol, to predict mobility patterns and provide optimized routes avoiding congested/polluted ones.
Results
Complex data analysis
Increased quality of life
Increased city governance
