The document discusses using fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) as decision support tools for smart cities, specifically for smart mobility applications. It aims to simulate urban mobility decision-making processes based on an ongoing research project involving several pilot cities. Key aspects discussed include identifying smart city concepts, exploiting social media and open data to inform policy scenarios, and creating theory-driven and data-driven decision support tools like FCMs. The research outputs will evaluate the potential and barriers of using social media, open data, and FCMs to support evidence-based decision making in smart cities.

2. Aim of the project paper
Research Question:
How Fuzzy Cognitive Maps can be applied to simulate
decision making processes of urban mobility in the context
of Smart Cities
- based on the ongoing research project “SmartGov” and
the use cases of its pilot cities

3. Acknowledgement
- Create smart tools for urban transport systems.
- Use of data to better understand city dynamics.
- Support participation and engagement by all stakeholders in Smart
Cities.
