This document discusses the Urban Data Platform Vienna, which was implemented using the open source FIWARE platform. It describes the initial situation and objectives, including defining criteria for an open data platform. It then discusses implementing the FIWARE platform smartdata.wien in the cloud, including its envisioned architecture. The document outlines visualizing open and IoT data from three use cases. Finally, it lists some next steps, such as integrating more use cases, relocating the FIWARE Lab, and expanding to include data from other regions.

4. Initial Situation and Main Objective
Evaluation 2017
Urban Data Platform Vienna 4
• 2017: EU-project „Smarter Together“ -> the implementation of a
data platform should be explored
• The first step was to define criteria for a data platform:
• No direct IoT connection but integration of the backend systems via API interfaces
• Visualization option and data preparation with predefined blocks
• Integration of basemap.at and Open Government Data (OGD)
• Security concept for accessing the data (public, group basis, personal)
• Possible integration of own analysis tools
• Web access to the data platform
• The evaluation of existing systems of data platforms formed the
starting point to arrive at a suitable solution for Vienna

5. Initial Situation and Main Objective
Survey and Decision 2017
Urban Data Platform Vienna 5
• Survey
• The following cities that are of interest in the Smart City context and operators
that were known in Vienna were interviewed:
Munich, Lyon, Barcelona, Amsterdam, London, Milan, Bern (FH), Vienna
Transform+ (Siemens), Vienna ASCR, Vienna Upstream
• Decision
• Since FIWARE was an EU project and always focused on an implementation case,
Ms. Ulrike Huemer (CIO City of Vienna) together with the project management
decided to realize the data platform for Smarter Together on FIWARE basis .
• FIWARE is open source, so no dependency on American manufacturers. FIWARE
was also being evaluated in implementing the IoT strategy of City of Vienna.

Planning the implementation
Urban Data Platform Vienna 7
• Planning content:
• Creation of a technical concept with external support
• Installation and configuration of FIWARE with external support
• Implementation of three Use Cases of “Smarter Together”
• Via FIWARE Foundation, which joined the City of Vienna as a Gold Member,
contact was established to FIWARE experts
• Together with the experts of the FIWARE Foundation, a sketch of the structure
of the platform was created;
• FIWARE retrieves the data from the two open data portals data.gv.at and opendataportal.at
• The other data providers collect their sensors and other data in their feeder systems and send them to
the FIWARE platform via https and predefined APIs
• In FIWARE there is also a security layer that ensures that only everyone sees the data for which he is
authorized
• Furthermore, there is a basic visualization in FIWARE to view the data without scouring the raw data

Implementation
Urban Data Platform Vienna 9
• For cost reasons, the data platform was not operated on servers of the
City of Vienna but as a cloud solution. Netzlink is a partner of the
FIWARE-Foundation and has experience with FIWARE in the cloud
• The basic installation includes the Open Stack installation in the cloud,
and then the installation of FIWARE as middleware.
• Then the application VM9 was installed. This application was developed
by a Brazilian developer community over several years and includes all
aspects of Smart City applications. Since a self-development in this
period was not feasible in the appropriate quality of this product was
used.

13. Visualization
Urban Data Platform Vienna 13
Visualization of three selected Use Cases
Goal: Collection of energy, heating and water
consumption data from a schoosl before and after the
renovation programme
Data: Data from energy, heating and water meters
Visualization: consumption over time
Use Case 1: MA 34 Facility Management
• Goal: Analysis regarding changes in the
choice of transportation
• Data: Bike & Car Sharing Information, usage
of e-vehicles (e.g. e-forklift, e-cars of postal
service)
• Visualization: KPI´s, energy consumption
Use Case 2: Monitoring Mobility
• Goal: Harmonization of different data sources regarding facility
and energy informations with unique identifiers
• Data: Adress-, Gebäude- und Wohnungsregister (AGWR),
Flächen-Mehrzweckkarte (FMZK)
• Visualization : Consolidated Information from different sources in Geo Information System
Use Case 3: Harmoniziation of Facility and Energy Information

17. Next Steps
Urban Data Platform Vienna 17
• Integration of further Use Cases and new Smart City Projects
• Relocation of FIWARE Lab from Cloud to own environment
• Expansion to/and integration of data from other federal
provinces
• Contribution to the data excellence strategy of CoV
• Providing smartdata.wien in a Hackathon
