Scenario: Helsinki Pilot on User Behaviour

City Officials need to get an overview of the city according to relevant aspects to make corresponding decisions. The services and the usage of the city is one of the relevant aspects. Thus, the Dashboard Life of Helsinki has been focussed on

  • Presenting interactive origin destination flows based on Mobile App data, with the aim of understanding how the users of the App exploited the city, where they came, when and in which areas, and who of them performed the actions and where;
  • providing a nicer and more interactive tool to access at city services (for many aspects it could be suitable for end users);
  • monitoring with social media of Twitter data including real time sentiment analysis, that can be used for Early Warning, and global moods assessment;
  • understanding city users’ moods via social media monitoring: study the social media Twitter channels with real time sentiment analysis,
    • which are the critical services in a given moment, are there emergent services, what it is happening now in the city;
    • be aware about the appreciation of city services and mood.
  • Contextualise with respect to major services and opportunities as
    • entertainment events in the area;
    • public transport, observing the time schedule and stops;
    • simplified interactive view about air quality values and heatmaps, weather conditions;
    • observe general POI, services in the city.

Moreover, a number of other information are accessible about mobility, transport, personal marking of locations, visiting city, etc.
