Since September 2020, FIWARE has been leading the successful i4Trust project around Data Spaces in which 32 selected solutions have been awarded and funded. In the latest , the authors Edoardo Vigo, Christian Østergaard Laursen and Vincent Demortier give insights into the CO2-Mute project that aims to support local governments in their efforts to deploy policies for sustainable mobility and urban green infrastructure as part of their local environmental and digital transition strategies leveraging the power of the .
The transportation sector is one of the main contributors to negative environmental impacts due to its role in air pollution, greenhouse gases and CO2 emissions. To reduce traffic congestion and the related environmental impact, local governments have been investing in Mobility-as-a-Service strategies and infrastructures to encourage the use of alternate means of transportation such as public transport and cycling. However, changing the habits of citizens remains a big challenge.
CO2-Mute’s focus is to help local authorities understand their situation and define policies for addressing mobility and green challenges. Additionally, the project will prepare citizens for their participation in the implementation of these policies to change mobility habits.
CO2-Mute uses various data sources, such as traffic data from Tom-Tom and HERE APIs, data from five air quality and noise sensors provided by MONTEM A/S, and data obtained from local weather stations about the environmental status and time range. This data will be correlated and a custom algorithm will be developed to calculate the estimated impact of traffic reduction on air pollutant concentrations. The results of the analysis will be made available to the concerned local government and ecosystem, and will be integrated into urban planning decision processes with a focus on green spaces. When needed, the data will be anonymized to comply with the GDPR. At each stage of the CO2-Mute value proposition, seamless access to heterogeneous data from various sources and data providers is crucial to deliver relevant services and reliable analysis.
