Abstract
The concept of a smart city comes with the need to support a data platform that can gather, process and export the data of millions of sensors, coming from different sources, with information in different formats, in a scalable approach for realtime and historical data visualization, processing, and actuation in the city. This paper proposes a Data Platform for the Aveiro Tech City Living Lab, to gather, process, visualize and actuate on mobility, environmental and network data. The architecture of the platform provides a real open platform that is accessible for third-parties to collect data and to experiment their own solutions, through a secure and open data platform at their disposal. The results with respect to the amount of data gathered and examples of data show how this platform can be used to develop new applications and use both real-time and historical data for future predictions and actuations in a smart city.
