Abstract

With the vision “Innovation by experiment” the Bauhaus.MobilityLab started in July 2020 as a living lab in the district Brühl of the city Erfurt, Thuringia, Germany. As a unique project, it is coupling the sectors mobility, logistics and energy into a unified living lab. It allows to design, develop and evaluate innovative services to increase the quality of life in the city. Bauhaus.MobilityLab offers access to live smart city data of different domains and provides a set of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for data processing, analytics and forecasting. In contrast to existing platforms, its uniqueness is the available and integrated living lab. It allows directly rolling out new smart city services and to evaluate the impact in the real world. This paper describes the implementation of the technical platform supporting the Bauhaus.MobilityLab, realized according to the DIN SPEC 91357 as an open urban platform. It focuses on data sharing based on the concepts of the International Data Spaces and the integration of AI algorithms. The concepts are presented based on examples in the energy domain.

Summary

Introduction

Academic Editor: Pierluigi Siano; Information and communication technologies (ICT) are becoming a more and more integral part of our daily life. Technology is supporting cities in meeting current challenges and transforming them into livable and sustainable areas. Bauhaus.MobilityLab (BML) focuses on the intersection of mobility, logistics and energy to contribute to increasing the living conditions in the smart city of the future. BML offers a secure and easy-to-use platform to develop new services and try them in a living lab without much prior knowledge of data processing and AI. The Bauhaus.MobilityLab platform supports customers in offering new services with the help of existing data sources and applicable AI algorithms to evaluate them in the living lab. The customer is supported in selecting and parameterizing the appropriate data sources and AI algorithms. The data or the result of the algorithms can be used to create new services, to trigger actions or to make offers to lab users.
