The iCity Urban Informatics Research Days Webinar Series, June 8-17, 2020, was hosted by Dr. Judy Farvolden, Executive Director, University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute. The Ontologies and Platforms webinar of June 8, 2020 features two presentations:
3:30 The iCity Ontology: Towards a Data Standard for Transportation Planning – Megan Katsumi
The iCity Transportation Planning Suite of Ontologies addresses the benefits of using ontologies to support transportation planning activities and explains how the iCity-ORF work has led to a series of ISO standardization efforts for city services’ data. Directions for future work on this key outcome, including the collaborative approach that will be pursued for the continued development of the ISO standards will also be discussed.
29:59 iCity ITSoS Platform and ATIS Applications – Ahmed Aqra, Hasan Bayanouni, Mohammed El-Darieby
Next generation smart city applications will comprise complex workflows of services processing a heterogeneous multitude of voluminous datasets. Services and datasets are heterogeneous as they are provided by diverse public and private institutions using different technologies. The ITSoS platform uses Artificial Intelligence and contemporary software engineering technologies to facilitate seamless integration of these heterogeneous services and datasets into application workflows. The capabilities and services include an Open Trip Planner for the GTHA and a Trip Reservation-based Traffic Control System. These capabilities and services can be scaled for application to a mega city using Big Data techniques.
