Abstract:- The City of Los Angeles, with 4 million residents and nearly 50 million visitors annually moving across 469 square miles, is not only one of the most densely populated cities, it also hosts one of the largest, most complex city infrastructures in the world. 6,000 miles of sewer underlie 22,000 miles of paved streets, that connect over 4,500 intersections, 50,000 city connected street lights and 2,000,000 google/waze connected sensors. This network of people and infrastructure are connected through the data and the systems that support them. As data transforms from an unstructured asset into the organizational wisdom that can drive this Smart City, the City of Los Angeles and the Office of Mayor Eric Garcetti work to identify new technologies and strategies for managing and harnessing the growing amount of data available to inform decision-making.

#DataLA
• Data Requires Meaning + Insights: Curate, cultivate, and build tools
to ensure data is directly connected to policy, performance, and
outcomes
• Collaboration → Innovation: Share data and collaborate on
interactive maps by overlaying multiple datasets and develop a
holistic picture of a community to drive innovation across the city.
• Greater Public Engagement & Transparency: Engaging citizens by
exposing more data in a visual/interactive way. Show decisions are
based on sound evidence.

19. I3 – Intelligent IoT Integrator
Scheduled to launch in July/Aug 2017
- A joint project of Marshall and Viterbi School of Engineering
Goal: To develop an open IOT data marketplace that uses
drivers to accept device data and connects it to applications.
Conceived as a ”Data Switzerland,” I3 will serve as a platform
to aggregate, normalize and then release public and private
data that can be used by developers to create Smart City
applications.
- Transforms the Internet from a connectivity tool to a context
awareness tool
- Creates a point of demarcation serves to delimit data
ownership
- Targeted messaging understanding of customer behaviors
that drive development
- Advanced analytics
- A domain controller that reduces central cloud and
cellphone application management
