This is where smart data analysis can be helpful: Telefónica NEXT participated in a pilot project founded by Climate-KIC in a consortium with South Pole Group and Teralytics. In this project, a methodology to calculate air pollution load with the help of anonymized mobile data has been developed. The project showed promising results and Telefónica NEXT and its partners now start to provide comprehensive emission analysis for cities to contribute to their fight against air pollution. In opposition to conventional methods of measurement, this solution is based on an entirely different resource

Cities are facing increased congestion partly due to the increment in goods delivery through e-commerce. The pedestrianisation of city centres in most European cities makes urban deliveries even more difficult, increasing noise, pollution and competition for space in these areas.Smarter deliveries cut traffic generated by increased online shopping and provide better information on delivery times, while the use of cleaner vehicles will help to reduce local emissions and noise.

With the help of ROAN units, the city of Bagcilar regularly scans their roads, generating data continually on where is damaged, when and what the priority of that damage is. ROAN being an IoT road damage analyser automatically sends information daily to the cloud, this data is then used to provide dispatch maintenance teams with daily tasks. Closing every pothole as they are found. This of course results in decrease of complaints and a much lower public works budget on the following years due to very few potholes emerging after the previous ones are dealt with.

In the autumn of 2017, Migri (Finnish immigration) faced a significant challenge: they were responding to less than 20% of their end user enquiries, almost 70% of which were simply questions about application statuses. Migri had been looking for a chatbot solution to help manage their enquiry traffic for some time, and decided to do a pilot with boost.ai
Although getting a virtual agent (advanced chatbot) to help answer simple questions, it didn't solve the fact that the immigration service, as a consequence of often being the first port of call for new arrivals in Finland, received

Managing projects which include a large number of different stakeholders within the administration of the city is always a challenge. The most crucial part is to communicate regularly and openly with all involved.
Transparency (e.g. which data is collected, where is it stored, how to access) and participation with citizens (e.g. which solutions would be helpful, which sensor solutions would be accepted, which not) is is a key element in any smart city project, especially when data driven.
