Smart Flanders
PUBLIC SECTORRESEARCH AND INNOVATION
BASISPRINCIPES SMART FLANDERS
• 13 Vlaamse centrumsteden + Brussel
• Vuurtorenmodel voor kleinere steden
• Ondersteuningsprogramma, communicatiekanaal, kennis- en interactieplatform
• Implementatie-gedreven
• Internationaal genetwerkt
• Focus op real-time open data en gedeelde referentiemodellen
• Samenwerking tussen steden en actoren uit de quadruple helix
2. SMART FLANDERS DATA PILOTS: REALITY CHECK
Implementatiegedreven aanpak houdt in dat:
- elke stad per jaar minstens 1 real-time dataset opent
- per jaar 1 à 2 gezamenlijke data-pilots opgezet worden onder de vorm van use cases
en samen met partners uit de quadruple helix
Starten vanuit thema’s en uitdagingen die leven in de deelnemende steden
Identificatie, roadmapping en matchmaking met ondersteuning van Smart Flanders
CITY OF THINGS
USE CASES
34
Proactive Flooding
Detection
• Together with Antwerp Fire department
• More frequent flash floods because of
climated change
Challenges:
• 24/7 detection
• Learning patterns: prediction
• Combining sensor data with cloud data
as e.g. detailed weather reports
• Reports to professionals but also to
impacted house owners
• Suggesting appropriate measure to
house owners and emergency response
teams
35
Mobility (as a service)
• Data collection
• Multimodal
• Cross governance
• Data analytics
• Heterogeneous sources
• Behaviour change
• Personalised info
• Incentives
• Initial focus
• Flow tracking
• Pedestrians, cyclists, cars,
public transport
• Smart crossroads
• Traffic lights
• Other digital signage
• Detailed tracking/monitoring
36
Smart Highway
• Need for (complex) testbeds for
connected and autonomous driving
• Telco and automotive industry
together
• Integrated in European network of
similar testbeds
• European funding (CEF) requested
• Infrastructure in vehicles, in the roads,
roadside networks, legal aspects, user
research...
• Strong support of Flemish government
(innovation, mobility)
• Selected testbed in Flanders:
• E313, with connection to Antwerp
ringway
37
“Citizens with Things”
• Open call inspired by Helsinki
• The Smart Kalasatama Programme
for Agile Piloting accelerates Smart
City innovation by procuring
prototypes to real city
environments to be co-created
with citizens.
• Between 2016–2017, Smart
Kalasatama is buying 15–20 small
pilots (1.000–8.000 euros) which
bring innovative services to the use
of citizens.
38
City app
• Citizen engagement is crucial for smart
cities
• Mayor of Antwerp wants to demonstrate
interactivity with an app that has at least
feedback functionality
• Not necessarily IoT integration in
version 1
• His administration will handle the
incoming data
• Big data analysis by researchers
also possible

Citizen Bike
• Large scale (1.000 sensors/bikes)
monitoring of different aspects of bike
use in the city
• Air quality (some bikes)
• Road quality (all bikes)
• Trajectory monitoring (all bikes)
• Citizen engagement with City of Things
• Crucial to get “co-ownership” of
Antwerp citizens
• Smart cities should not be just top
down, but also heavily bottom up
• Bootstrapping with 20 bikes
42
AIR QUALITY MONITORING
Bpost scaling
• Existing CoT project with two bpost
vans to measure air quality
• Upgrading to 20 vans at low cost
• Mainly demonstrator purposes and air
quality sensor assessment en
benchmarking
43
Remote energy
monitoring and balancing
• Real-time adaptation of peak residential
energy demand to available supply
• Using IoT smart plugs
• Test with houses in Antwerp
• Challenges:
• Network reliability and lifetime (in
cellars, metal rich environments
etc)
• Acceptable scenarios for demand
response on residential scale
• Reduction of costs for energy
supplier
• Guarantueed QoS for user
• Reduced pollution
44
Last mile logistics
• Harbor Antwerp & roads afterwards
• Container and palet loading from harbor
onto individual trucks
• Challenges:
• Accuracy of location in harbor
• Heterogeneous networks
• Follow end-to-end
• Low cost & robust sensor
• Optimization of logistics
• JIT delivery
• Following health status of the
goods
• Detecting theft
45
Health monitoring
• Longitudinal health monitoring of a large
cohort of ‘average’ citizens
• Personal data (from health wearables,
from personal health records) matching
with contextual/environmental data
• Extremely privacy sensitive data
• But highly relevant
• Research and development platform for
large scale (contextual) health
monitoring
• For public and private research
purposes
46
Sportpaleis
• Multipurpose Arena in Antwerp
• concerts, sporting events,
festivals and fairs
• 23.000 person capacity

• Near Metrostation
• Adjacent smaller venue of 8.000 persons
(”Lotto Arena”)
• Challenges:
• Mobility (cars, public transport)
• Spectator experience (sound level,
air quality, crowd density, catering
services,…)
• Security (in case of emergencies:
in-house and in the larger area)
• Door-to-door integrated user
experience and e-commerce
47
Sportpaleis
• Full scale monitoring of events
• Typically from 5pm until 1am
• Mobility to/from the event site
• Monitoring walking, biking, driving,
and public transport
• People flows inside the two venues
• For commercial reasons and safety
reasons
• Sound levels and air quality
• Levels of stress (with selected users,
using wearables)
• User (quality of) experience
• Longitudinal measuring
48
Digital Signage
