I am interested in examples of how the data revolution is already being used to drive more sustainable cities as well as ideas of new ways to leverage the data revolution for more sustainable and equitable cities. One of the main contributions of the data revolution id the creation of new data. My question is intended to ask - how such new alternative data could better inform approaches to solving the major sustainability challenges facing cities e.g. building energy inefficiency, inequitable access to waste, transport, housing, and other critical services by the poor, and excessive un-sustainable consumption by the rich. Do researchers have good examples of how alternative data from social media and data exhaust has been used to inform sustainability challenges? Thanks.
Just two cases in China's megacities for you reference: Connecting real-time traffic big data with navigation App. to reduce traffic congestion in city; Using more and more abundant traffic data to guide the distribution of sharing bicycles and sharing electric vehicles.
There are many applications for data in transportation and smart cities. As part of my research, drivers data (or what is called naturalistic driving data) is used to understand the driver behavior. The understanding of the driver behavior supports the development of intelligent vehicles applications such as fuel consumption applications, Forward Collision Warning, Lane Changing Assistance, etc. This only one example and I am sure the literature has more and more.
One of the key elements of the revolution in the field of digital information analysis is the analysis of large data sets in Big Data database systems. I describe the applications of data analysis technology in Big Data database systems as well as the possibility of using it for the needs of sustainable pro-ecological economic development in discussions conducted on the Research Gate portal.
In addition, the essence and applications of data analysis technology in Big Data database systems are described in the following publications.
The issues of the use of information contained in Big Data database systems for the purposes of conducting Business Intelligence analyzes are described in the publications: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/323244120_The_Big_Data_technologies_as_an_important_factor_of_electronic_data_processing_and_the_development_of_computerized_analytical_platforms_Business_Intelligence https://www.researchgate.net/publication/327035102_The_Technological_Solutions_Big_Data_and_the_Importance_of_Business_Analysis_According_to_the_Business_Intelligence_Formula I invite you to discussion and cooperation. I wish you Happy New Year 2019 Best wishes
The ISIMIP project has a lot data on demographics, transport, ect:
