i-SCOPE delivers an open source toolkit for 3D smart city services based on 3D Urban Information Models
(UIM), created from accurate urban-scale geospatial information. The smart services proposed address the
following three scenarios: 1) Improved inclusion and personal mobility of aging people and diversely able
citizens; 2) Energy dispersion & solar energy potential assessment; 3) Noise mapping & simulation.

Objective identifier 5.1:
Open Innovation for Internet-enabled services in 'smart' cities’
Duration: 36 months
budget: 4.040.000,00 €
4. Relevance of the Project objectives
• The latest generation of 3D Urban
Information Models (UIM),
created from accurate urban-
scale geospatial information, can
be used to create smart web
services based on geometric,
semantic, morphological and
structural information at urban
scale level.
• Based on interoperable 3D UIMs,
i-SCOPE delivers an open
platform on top of which it
develops, within different
domains, various ‘smart city’
services. These will be piloted
and validated, within a number of
EU cities involved in i-SCOPE
5. Description of the issue and proposed
service/solution.
• i-SCOPE aim to deliver an open source toolkit for 3D smart city services
based on 3D Urban Information Models (UIM), created from accurate
urban-scale geospatial information. The smart services proposed address
the following three scenarios:
– 1) Improved inclusion and personal mobility of aging people and diversely
able citizens;
– 2) Energy dispersion & solar energy potential assessment;
– 3) Noise mapping & simulation.

6. Smart services scenarios@i-SCOPE:1/3
• Improved inclusion and personal
mobility of aging people and
diversely able citizens. i- SCOPE
will deliver a set of smart services
providing:
– automatically, starting from UIMs
and GIS data, pre-formatted text
describing a given area (to help
user localising themselves) or route
(in case of guidance), suitable for
portable screenreaders and Braille
screens.
– routing service that accounts for
detailed urban layout, features and
barriers, accessible from the web
and from 3D mobile clients;
– providing easy-to-read and easy to
listen to guiding instructions
7. Smart services scenarios@i-SCOPE 2/3
• Energy dispersion and solar
energy potential assessment. i-
SCOPE will deliver services for city
administrations, professionals
and citizens, designed to:
– Calculate solar energy potential at
very high precision based on
accurate 3D models of urban
landscape;
– Assess energy efficiency at urban
scale through automatic
generation of energy dispersion
maps based on airborne survey
campaigns;
– Management of citizen-generated
data on building energy dispersion
8. Smart services scenarios@i-SCOPE 3/3
• Noise mapping and
simulation. To do so i-SCOPE
delivers smart services that:
– Calculate, in an interoperable
manner, noise levels both
through simulation and
through mapping based on
accurate UIMs.
– Create real-time and
accumulated noise maps
through data collected by
citizens, who are involved as
prosumers (producers and
consumers) of environmental
data, through the use of their
mobile phones as “noise”
sensors, measuring city-wide
noise levels
13. Involvement of city administrations
• The geographical
distribution of partners is
such that each city
administration can closely
cooperate with a technical
partner at all stages of the
project, creating an
experimentation
environment where users
and producers co-create
innovations within a Public-
Private-People Partnerships
(PPPP) for user-driven open
innovation typical of Living
Labs
14. Technology
To implement processing services using related standards
• i-SCOPE integrates a number existing technologies as federation of interoperable
web-services which will ensure interoperability through support of OGC standards.
The project is based on use of CityGML as Urban Information Model on top of
which 3D smart city services are created. Smart services will be accessible via a
web-based 3D client as well as through mobile applications that is used to
crowdsource environmental (noise) data from the citizens.

16. i-SCOPE Content Required
3D models at urban scale as CityGML For those city administration not having already a
CityGML model of the city this will be created through a dedicated set of web-services
(integrated within the i-SCOPE toolkit), developed on top of technology by MOSS which uses
standard GIS data such as LIDAR or floormaps to automatically create CityGML models of
urban environments
Real-time noise measurements necessary for the project activities will be collected
during a surveying campaign planned with the city administrations involved by using VUB
noise mapping technology.
Airborne infrared imaging will be acquired by partner GEOF through a thermo camera to be
fitted on one of their airplanes. To avoid any further cost rising from a specific survey
campaign this will be identified at the beginning of the project.
17. Ownership
• The i-SCOPE toolkit will be
open source, so will be the
specifications created
during the project, i.e.
extension of current
CityGML standard and
creation of three
Application Domain
Extensions for the three
project scenarios. The EEIG
will be responsible for
future development and
maintenance of i-SCOPE
toolkit.
18. Sustainability
• The consortium plans to
formalize modalities and the
conditions that will govern the
commercial exploitation of the
project results after the end of
the project and the
Community funding through
European Economic Interest
Grouping (EEIG) to be formally
registered before the end of
the project. The EEIG will
ensure promotion of i- SCOPE,
technological road mapping,
development & maintenance
of the i-SCOPE toolkit,
consultancy, training

21. The objectives of the proposed
service/solution
• Develop an open toolkit based on 3D UIMs
according to the principles of SOA using open
standards (OGC). This includes services
capable to create CityGML models from data
such as surface models (e.g. LIDAR), terrain
models and building floor plans.
• Develop smart services to improve decision-
making in planning processes and policy
design at city- regions management levels,
with regard to issues related to energy
efficiency and noise levels, based on urban
pattern and its morphology.
• Develop smart services to promote inclusion
and mobility of differently-abled people and
elderly users through technology that help
them overcome barriers at city level and that
support them during their daily urban trips.
22. The objectives of the proposed
service/solution
• Develop smart services that can involve
citizens at wider scale by collecting real-time
location-based information at urban scale.
• Test smart services within a variety of
network ecosystems ranging from city-wide
sensor networks (Velletri, Italy ), to large
scale regional optic fibre networks (in the
case of Trento and Lazio Region, Italy ), to
mobile location based services.
• Develop trustable, secure privacy schemes
to ensure the highest level of protection of
users’ information. This is necessary since
such a set of real-time, location-based
mobility services poses significant security
and privacy issues (due to traceability of
people’s location, actions, travel plans etc).
