AI in the Smart City - Fraunhofer IESE

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the potential to improve the efficiency and quality of municipal services, promote citizen participation and support sustainable municipal development. We support you in the various phases, from conceptualization and planning through to the implementation of AI solutions for various areas of application in the Smart City.

The following procedure describes an example approach up to the complete rollout of an AI solution. We also support you with partial services from this process and can respond flexibly to your individual requirements.

Phase 1: Analysis and conception

Requirements analysis

Organiz ation of workshops to elicit requirements and needs of the city administration and relevant stakeholders
Analysing existing municipal data sources and systems
Identification of use cases and goals for the use of AI (e.g. traffic management, environmental monitoring, planning processes)

Feasibility study

Technological and economic feasibility analysis
Evaluation of existing AI technologies and their integration
Risk analysis and assessment of data protection and security requirements

Concept development

Development of a comprehensive concept for the use of AI
Definition of KPIs and success criteria
Creation of an implementation plan with milestones and time frame

Phase 2: Planning and design

Data integration and management

Selection of the required data
Planning of data integration from existing data infrastructure (e.g., traffic monitoring, IoT sensors)

Technical infrastructure

Design of the technical infrastructure
Selection of suitable technical partners and providers

AI models and algorithms

Development and training of AI models for the identified use cases
Implementation of algorithms for data analysis and decision support

Phase 3: Implementation and testing

Prototyping and pilot projects

Development of prototypes for selected use cases
Realization of pilot projects to validate the concept and collect user feedback

Full implementation

Rollout of the AI solutions throughout the city or in specialized areas
Training and support for city employees and stakeholders

Monitoring and evaluation

Continuous monitoring of systems and processes
Regular evaluation and optimization based on the collected data and feedback
