Richard Kingston of the University of Manchester has 12 years of experience developing online public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS) to assist public participation in environmental decision making. While technology can complement traditional participation methods, low internet access and the digital divide remain barriers. Surveys show that those least likely to have internet access, such as lower socioeconomic groups and older individuals, are also those most likely to access local authority services. Only 60% of UK households have home internet access.
Big data analytics can provide insights to improve every aspect of transportation. It allows for better planning of infrastructure, traffic management, public transit systems, fleet maintenance, and influencing user behavior. Countries are collecting vast amounts of transportation data from sensors, mobile devices, and vehicles to reduce congestion, optimize traffic light timing, implement road pricing schemes, and improve public transit based on demand. Governments are establishing data officer and analyst positions and developing strategies and standards to maximize the benefits of big data while protecting privacy and enabling innovation.
The LeMO project examines the implications of utilizing big data in the European transport sector through a series of case studies across different transport modes and dimensions. It aims to identify methodological and technological issues to allow effective data analytics and exploitation in transport. The project will provide recommendations to help policymakers and industry stakeholders address barriers and leverage opportunities of big data to improve operations, customer experience, and revenue. Key outputs include reviews of big data policies and technologies, case studies analyzing areas like open data and real-time traffic, and tools for transport data analytics.

Ingenious - Smart cities experience and data exploitationPeter Lindgren
3 real world examples of how data can deliver efficiencies in the operation of our cities - sometimes in unexpected ways. A presentation by Paul Putland, delivered at the Catch! Transport Systems Innovation Workshop.
The document outlines a strategy in Latvia from 2010 to 2013 to increase awareness of energy efficiency and encourage cooperation to find solutions. It led to a large increase in applications for energy efficiency project funding, more discussions in the media and among the public about the benefits of energy efficiency, and total estimated energy savings of 30-50% through 186 events, websites, seminars and conferences that engaged over 55,000 people.
Dutch Minister Schultz van Haegen wants to put the Netherlands on the world map with unmanned trucks. That is good news for the European transport sector. Unfortunately, Europe isn't exactly ready for unmanned trucks.
The current spatial planning is a problem. Platoons of three or four unmanned trucks will soon be transporting large volumes according to a timetable across vast European transport corridors in the TEN-T network. This will demand more horizontal collaboration between companies, with control towers directing the transport flows.
Each of the nodes in the TEN-T network will need to have a large-scale distribution park where shippers and carriers can bundle and unbundle their transport flows. The problem is: there is hardly any room for such large-scale distribution parks.
The unmanned trucks will be driving across borders. Not only the hard technology on board, also the soft information technology for directing transport flows needs to be standardized at the European level. But also: who owns all that big data that the trucks and the local road authorities collect regarding the transport flows? Open data need to be truly open to everyone. The traffic laws and rules of play and the qualifications required of professional drivers in the various European countries need to be synchronized. The borders between countries cannot be borders for transport.
Autonomous driving will fundamentally change the European market for long-distance transport. Logistics service providers will need to adapt their strategy towards operational excellence at the Champions League level in terms of the planning, execution and financing of their European transport networks. They may encounter competition from unexpected sources. What is keeping Scania from organising its own European transport network if drivers are no longer necessary?
Trucks are becoming high-tech command centers. They communicate with traffic managers via intelligent transport systems (ITS) in order to make optimal use of the infrastructure. This means much more responsibility for the highly trained driver – comparable to that of a pilot of a Boeing jet. The sector needs to get started with training the drivers of the future using first-rate driving simulators.
The deployment of unmanned trucks will demand collaboration between carriers and shippers, room for distribution parks in the TEN-T network, open and transparent data, the best drivers and a European policy for road safety. Only then will the logistics sector stand to benefit from this innovation.
Technology to Enable Collaborative Working KentEstates
The document discusses how building a single infrastructure service across Kent and Medway, called the Kent Public Service Network (KPSN), can help facilitate collaboration. The KPSN provides connectivity to over 370,000 users across more than 1,160 sites for 27 partner organizations. It aims to help meet common goals like creating a personal health record for residents and mobilizing the workforce. Services provided over the KPSN include internet access, email, filtering, firewalls, and a common WiFi roaming service now available at 250 sites that allows staff to work flexibly across the public sector estate. The roaming service fosters collaboration between organizations by enabling connectivity and access to online systems at various locations.

The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) describes fixed-route public transportation service to facilitate integration of transit information into various applications. The purpose of this report is to provide an overview of the opportunities to use GTFS for many different types of information services for the general public as well as internal agency operations. Many opportunities exist to create new services based on GTFS data — either to provide transit information through a greater range of delivery formats (e.g., new mobile transit applications), or to provide new ways of understanding and using transit information (e.g., for planning and analysis purposes).
For transit agencies that are not openly sharing their data, this report will inform decisions on prioritizing and justifying investments in open data initiatives surrounding GTFS.
For transit agencies that already provide open access to their GTFS data, this report will assist the agency in maximizing their investment in GTFS data by showcasing examples of many new types of applications that utilize the same GTFS data they are already producing.
For Departments of Transportation, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and other intermodal agencies, this report will assist them in understanding the current state-of-the-art in public transportation information and will help them integrate this data into intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and multimodal traveler information systems.

Finance & Sustainability Aggregators forum 2014Europeana
The document discusses Europeana Foundation & Network, which was created through EU funding programs between 2007-2013. It connects over 30 million cultural objects from across Europe. However, future EU funding through the Connecting Europe Facility will decrease, so Europeana must pursue sustainable funding models. Some ideas presented include getting fees from member states for premium services, non-EU countries for basic services, generating revenue through an incubation service, and applying for grants from Horizon2020 and Creative Europe. Costs could also be reduced by developing new shared infrastructure and technologies.
NOESIS aims to provide a robust methodological framework (Decision Support tool) and data-driven evidence to enable the deployment of a Big Data in Transport ecosystem in Europe, by addressing the associated technological, institutional/legal, business, and policy challenges.

Smart City and Innovation in Hong Kong - Priorities and ChallengesCharles Mok
Charles Mok discusses smart city development in Hong Kong and priorities and challenges. He outlines a framework with components like economy, mobility/transport, environment, living, and governance. International examples from cities like Barcelona and Seoul show initiatives in areas like free public Wi-Fi, environmental monitoring, and emergency response systems. Upcoming government consultations will explore creating a smart city blueprint. Key to development will be talent, funding, infrastructure, partnerships between government and businesses, and an innovation-friendly culture. Hong Kong has opportunities in areas like transportation, green initiatives, finance, and data centers.
Smart City: A Call for a Shift in MindsetCharles Mok
Charles Mok argues that Hong Kong needs a shift in mindset to become a truly smart city. He outlines opportunities that open data presents for improving transportation systems by allowing real-time traffic information. However, Hong Kong currently lacks open data and data sharing between government departments. Mok calls for increased coordination, updated laws, and a review of current infrastructure to allow innovation. The priorities for developing Hong Kong as a smart city include talent, funding, culture, infrastructure, markets, and reducing barriers between government and innovation.

WHITE PAPER: Data Harmonization & Interoperability in OpenTransportNetplan4all
OpenTransportNet (OTN) distributes a series of White Papers to showcase its innovative approach in the
technical implementation of the OTN Hubs, and to communicate key outcomes in terms of service creation
and harmonisation of transport related data.
The White Papers are intended to provide insights and share lessons learned to others interested in using
the OTN approach for aggregating, harmonizing and visualising transport data. The audience for these
White Papers are mainly city and regional authorities that maintain and aggregate diverse data sources and
stimulate innovation development in transport, and the wider community of developers and experts in the
field of (geo) data as an opportunity to network and exchange knowledge.
This first White Paper, in a series of three, focuses on the data harmonisation process of the OTN project,
and is structured along the following use cases: (1) metadata harmonization through the CKAN and Micka
metadata management tools, and the upcoming GeoDCAT-AP metadata profile, (2), the DataTank data
management system and (3) the harmonized data model for road network data.
The paper starts with the main concepts of data interoperability and harmonization. Next, the use cases
are described that were implemented in the OTN project until January 2016 with the collaboration of the
four pilot cities (Antwerp, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Birmingham and the Liberec Region) and with the
consultation of the standard bodies Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the World Wide Web
Consortium (W3C), and the in-house research centre of the European Commission, the Joint Research
Centre (JRC). The White Paper ends with harmonization guidelines for cities and regions interested in using
the OTN approach, and next steps of the OTN project in harmonization.
The second White Paper will describe further transport-related use cases including the Smart Points of
Interest in RDF and the Open Land Use Map. The second paper will also elaborate on the licensing aspects
of the project. The last White Paper will provide testimonials of pilot cities and regions and their key
outcomes, including innovative ways of big data visualizations and the involvement of local communities in
the co-creation of services.

1) ASEAN faces two main challenges in developing the digital economy: bridging the digital divide within and between countries, and shifting from an internet economy to a fully digital economy and society.
2) National digital plans alone cannot succeed without interconnectivity between countries to achieve economies of scale, and interoperability of platforms and applications to achieve economies of scope.
3) A successful transition to a digital economy requires building blocks like interconnectivity, interoperability, and developing digital health and education systems that overcome issues of lack of network connection and incompatible systems.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
