A Big Data Management Application, called Urban Cockpit has been implemented in the city of Cologne to provide a fast and easy overview of the data stored in the Urban Data Platform. It includes data from traffic management systems , energy providers and other such companies.
Owing to the huge amount of data generated in the city, there is a great scope to process and analyze this information. Analyzing the current data and predicting future trends could help in well informed decision making on several different levels. A user friendly way of visualizing the open data is also needed to promote extensive use of data.
The Urban Cockpit Solution was chosen from the Urban Institute to manage the big data from the City of Cologne. The tool provides a fast and easy overview of the current situation in the city concerning traffic, energy and environment. The tool is publicly available online for the citizens to see and use.
