6. Smart City Data Analysis
− Analysis of thousands of traffic, pollution, weather, congestion,
public transport, waste and event sensory data to provide better
transport and city management.
− Converting smart meter readings to information that can help
prediction and balance of power consumption in a city.
− Monitoring elderly homes, personal and public healthcare
applications.
− Event and incident analysis and prediction using (near) real-time
data collected by citizen and device sensors.
− Turning social media data (e.g. Tweets) related to city issues into
event and sentiment analysis.
− Any many more…

11. In Conclusion
− Combining data from Physical, Cyber and Social sources
can give more complete, complementary data and
contributes to better analysis and insights.
− Intelligent processing methods should be adaptable and
able to handle dynamic, multi-modal, heterogeneous and
noisy and incomplete data.
− Smart cities are complex social systems and no
technological and data- analytics-driven solution alone
can solve the problems.
