Intelligent Communities
Cities and Regions that use technology not just to
save money or make things work better, but also to
create high-quality employment, increase citizen
participation and become great places to live and
work.

“Smart Cities that use Big Data are neither about intuition nor about
looking back and analyzing what went wrong and could be better.
They spot patterns. They look forward. They predict potential crisis situations.
They find what could be better and make it better.
Smart cities don’t guess.

DATA CHALLENGE
There are massive endpoints for these systems.
How to manage massive and heterogeneous data
becomes an enormous challenge.
Diverse data sources requires normalization
and standardization to address Data
Orchestration and integration.
DATA USAGE CHALLENGE
How could we create some innovative business
to use these data to create more value
and fully use current investment?

• Instances of DB tables & Integration Rules (INPUT)
• Deduplication, Record Consolidation (Algorithms & Heuristics)
• Instance alignment using 2 phase-pass algorithm to avoid

Example use Case
Transportation

• Available Data:
– City bus movement information from on board devices (lat-
long, time, date, bus line, bus ID)
• Goals:
– Predict the time of the arrival in a bus stop
• Challenges
– Lack of data in certain areas of the city
– GPS precision
Prediction of bus arrival

• Use each bus stop as a node, and the street as
edges

𝑥𝑖 𝑥𝑗
𝑎𝑖𝑗 = +1
𝑎𝑖𝑗 = −1
𝑋 = 𝑥1, … , 𝑥 𝑁 , 𝑥𝑖 = 𝑙𝑎𝑡 𝑖 , 𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔(𝑖)
𝐸 = 𝑒1, … , 𝑒 𝑀 , 𝑒 𝑘 = (𝑥𝑖, 𝑥𝑗)

• The goal is to find, for each 𝑒𝑗, an estimation of the
average speed in a instant 𝑡, 𝑣 𝑒𝑗, 𝑡 .
• Default model - estimate the velocity in each edge,
using historical data from the last month.
– Different hourly models for each day of the week
• Online Model - Use real-time date to calculate the
speed.
The model

Average speed(km/h)
Default Model

Prediction of Bus Arrival

• Based on the information of last use case,
extrapolate to verify the quality of the service
• Need to identify each bus trip, to evaluate the time
interval between two buses of the same line, at each
bus stop.
Another use case - Auditing

Hadoop Impact on Telemetry
AKA - Small Files Problem for Hadoop
Rio Smart Sensors - ESRI
NameNode = 512 GB for RAM
Each file eats away 1K in RAM
512GB / 1K = At Most 500M Files
assuming no other processes on the
box.
Rio has 12.5K sensors for the 2016
Olympics. Assuming each sensor
sent a file every minute, 18M files in
1 day.
EMC believes in storing Metadata
on SSD. This allows a scale out
for the NameNode to get around
the limitations of file growth on
the scale-up NameNode.
