Smart City Living Labs – Ruhr
In order to press ahead with sustainable urban development, science, the private economy, and public institutions and municipal bodies have to work more closely and more systematically with one another. The project team is carrying out research on the development and detailed conception of smart city use cases.
Starting Point
The development of a smart city offers great potential for comprehensive and sustainable urban development and with it the opportunity to effectively diminish the use of resources, while at the same time improving the quality of life of the people living there. The energy and mobility transformation prove that to actually get there, cooperation and collaboration are a must: in order to press ahead with sustainable urban development, science, the private economy, and public institutions and municipal bodies have to work more closely and more systematically with one another.
Our Solution
The project team is carrying out research on the development and detailed conception of smart city use cases. The objective of the interim study is to compile potentially replicable blueprints in the areas of smart city environment, smart mobility, and smart energy, using smart city living labs, prototypes and simulations.
In the preliminary study SCiLabs, a smart city research lab was initially established as a venue for collaboration for various smart city actors, which will be expanded. The tethered components from smart city living labs, such as networked sensors, hardware and vehicles will be developed further in the project and complemented with additional data sources. Additionally, the project team links to the establishment of a smart city IT platform operating as a client-server, which collects, analyses, and processes the data from the living labs. Further into the project, the data thus gathered will become the basis for the design of smart environment, smart mobility and smart energy use cases, which can be used later as input for business cases.

ruhrvalley at polisMOBILITY 2024
Sustainable Mobility in Focus
From May 22nd to May 23rd, 2024, the DeepTech Innovation Network Ruhr Valley will be participating at polisMOBILITY. Visit our booth to learn more about sustainable mobility concepts and get to know our network better.
At polisMOBILITY, stakeholders from politics and administration, private sector, and research come together to discuss challenges and solutions for a sustainable and livable city of tomorrow. Topics include:
- Municipal mobility transition
- Public transportation and mobility services
- Last-mile logistics
- Vehicles and propulsion technologies
- Urban sector coupling
- Digitalization
