SNAP4City Platform

The KM4City project released another addition to its ecosystem called SNAP4City. SNAP4City, which stands for “scalable Smart aNalytic APplication builder for sentient Cities and IOT,” is built on top of KM4City and provides a flexible method and solution to quickly create a large range of smart city applications. It exploits heterogeneous data and enables services for stakeholders by IoT/IoE (Internet of Everything), data analytics, and big data technologies.

KM4City Ecosystem

The KM4City Ecosystem is a complete, open-source, modern data solution for smart cities. The ecosystem is implemented using data from 33 cities and regions across Europe and supports many smart city dashboards and applications. This includes mobile applications accessible to both the public agencies and the general public.

Retrieving Information from Heterogeneous Freight Data Sources to Answer Natural Language Queries

NCFRP Report 49: Understanding and Using New Data Sources to Address Urban and Metropolitan Freight Challenges

This project developed guidance for local agencies, MPOs, and state DOTs to utilize the rapidly emerging data being collected and processed by the private sector in urban and metropolitan areas. The study defined and described new data sources; examined approaches, methods, and analytical techniques that enable agencies to better carry out their planning, programming, and operations responsibilities.
