The New Way Open Data + 2.0 -> Citizen talent + Fame and fortune = ?

unexpected results when sharing data in Public transportation on reg Sleep soundly. d-O The iNap app will wake snoozing commuters as tlan r their stop approaches. Po
Predict arrival. The city doesn't provide live GPS tracking of its trains and buses, but the app ArrivalTracker uses an algorithm and city API data to predict arrival times fairly well. Portland's Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District was one of the first to release actionable data, way back in 2008.

unexpected results when sharing data in Public transportation

Come and go efficiently. Exit Strategy NYC lets subway riders fulfill the eternal Gotham need: leave and enter stations at the most convenient staircases. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has released limited data, so app development is slow. But that may change. The MTA's App Quest contest will give a combined $15,000 in prizes to transit app developers. Winners are announced November 1.

Urban Labs = Test spaces in the middle of the city Urban Labs = The City as a Urban Laboratory Urban Labs = Urban Living labs Urban Labs = Real-life experimentation with users in Cities

 Urban Labs Living Labs

Example: Urbiotica pilot - Barcelona

8 containers for: Trash Paper Glass Plastics

A Barcelona experience: Urban Lab Pilots

Some results
Starting date: 2008 Pilot proposals received: 43 pilot proposals Pilot tested or testing actually: 14 pilots Domains: Enviroment, Mobility, Telecom, Some of the pilot projects that have been trialled to date are:

Implementation of 12 outdoor public street lighting points Eco Digital with LED technology. 2009 Implementation of 2 charging points for electric cars. 2009 Pilot trial of 1 electrically and solar powered motorbike . 2010 Traffic control cameras. 2008 Metering: gas, electricity and water meters without presence.2009 Fibre optics in homes (FTTH) . 2008 Bicycle lanes. 2008 Presence sensors for the public parking payment areas. 2010 Barcelona Noise-map. 2010 Among others

FASTPRK - Parking Sensors (30) - Worldsensing

When we thought that the system was operative we tested it in the 22@Urban Lab. Testing in real-life environments allowed us to improve aspects that we couldn't even think of in the lab. The Urban Lab has been our best laboratory.

SIIUR - LED Lighting Pilot (12) - Arelsa, Circuitor,

Santa&Cole, e-Control, Prysmian, Semal

The SIIUR experience allowed us the development of the SmartTower, a new family of electrical boxes for Smart Cities.

SIIUR - LED Lighting Pilot (12) - Arelsa, Circuitor,

Santa&Cole, e-Control, Prysmian, Semal

Because of the pilot and the experience acquired in the Urban Lab, Eindhoven chose SIIUR for environmentally sustainable city lighting in one of the main districts of the city.

Urban Labs
1.- To develop innovative products taking advantage of real-life environments and involving citizens in design, proof of service and proof of business validation. 2.- Bridge the cognitive distances between city administrations and innovative companies. 3.- Create an initial demand & provide a showcase for innovative solutions.

- learn locally, compete globally-

2 projects

a) Open Cities

Objectives
1) Explore how to approach Open & User Driven Innovation Methodologies in the Public Sector, particularly Smart Cities.
Best Practices. Innovation Management in the Public Sector. Platform governance.

2) Trigger Rich Internet Services & Platforms through four mechanisms.

Ideas - Crowdsourcing. Living Labs -Urban Labs. Data - Open Data (static & dynamic-Sensors). Networks - Open FTH networks.
