Wikipedia:

A smart device is an electronic device, generally connected to other devices or networks via different wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, NFC, Wi-Fi, LiFi, 3G, etc., that can operate to some extent interactively and autonomously.

11

The importance of 5G Network

https://pro.hwupgrade.it/articoli/tlc-mobile/4678/5g-le-connessioni-veloci-saranno-alla-base-dell-intelligenza-artificiale-del-futuro_index.html

The implementation of 5G networks is a key factor for the IoT and for the development of smart cities

12

1. Is the data useful for official statistics? 2. Can we think of use cases to make a proof of concept? 3. Can we involve the subject matter specialists within the

NSI? 4. How do we know what data is there? 5. Can we acess it? 6. How would we like to have access to it, which

processes/algorithms/restrictions could we already put in place on the provider to get cleaner/smaller/better data?

7. What about representativity & quality?

A statistical view…

13

Is the data useful?: a first study on health - May 2018: Student exercise at Statistics Netherlands (PREMIUM)

- New data sources for health and lifestyle - Data Evaluation Framework (Lee et al., 2002)

- Fitness apps:

- Wearables: - Fitbit, Samsung, Apple, Garmin and Xiaomiara

- Conclusions: - Wearables and app data have potential for CBS (especially when

combined with other data) - Advantages: real-time, detailed measurements, alternative for

survey questions that are hard to answer and/or lead to error - Access and representativity could be problematic

14

• Strava: app for runners and cyclists • Public aggregated data available in

heatmap on Strava portal on multiple zoom levels

• Combined with road network data • Scraped, interpreted and aggregated

to go from ‘heat’ to outdoor recreation • Used for quantifying cultural ecosystem in NL

Is the data useful?: Strava

- opensensemap.org - Open data - Can be used for CC

smart sensor measurements

Can we think of use cases for a PoC? Air quality

16

Use of smart sensor CC data for more detailed solar power estimates for NL

Can we involve subject matter specialists?

17

- It’s connected (by definition), can we discover it? - www.Shodan.io

- https://censys.io/

- Research: https://www.isi.edu/~johnh/PAPERS/Guo18c.pdf

How do we know what is there?

18

Different options: • Direct from the device via the wireless protocol • Indirect from a community cloud portal where the

device (holder) uploads the data (citizen science) • Indirect from the communiction from the device to the

device manufacturer • Indirect microdata or aggregated data from the device

manufacturer

Can we access it?

How would we like to access it?

Get all data at the NSI? From each collection point?

24

How would we like to access it?

Get pre-processed/pre-agreggated data? From the data provider?

25

Considering the difficulty in accessing private company data, the role of P.A. and citizens is very important. They can provide open data that can be easily accessed by the NIS.

The role of Public Administration and citizens

26

It could be summarized in this sentence: “No more private silos belonging to this or that administration, with public data being a common good and a precious resource for the country that, like an oil field, can be explored and mined to extract value. We are seeking a new interface within which the single administrations can communicate and share data and APIs in a free and open way, allowing for the creation of new and previously-unthinkable services and data applications realized on the basis of the needs of the citizen” https://teamdigitale.governo.it/en/projects/daf.htm

Public Administration’s role

27

Haklay (2013) considering the cooperation of citizens, distinguishes four levels of citizen science as crowdsourcing is the lowest level and the highest level is a type of collaborative science, where citizens can have the responsibility to define problems and search for possible solutions

Citizens Science (1 of 2)

28

Citizens represent one of the 'pillars' of Smart Cities as urban 'sensors' (Murgante and Borruso, 2013) able to incorporate inputs and observations from their environment, possibly helped by technologies that are now available to everyone (for example smartphones) and from a wide availability of data, hopefully of public origin (open data).

Representatitivity / Quality?

University students in Lisbon Shared bike users in Lisbon

30

Representatitivity / Quality?

Is there a shared bike park near every university?

31

Shared bikes to track university students?

32

- An aircraft periodically broadcasts its position - Combine with flight (metadata) - Multiple CC portals:

ADSB: a special case?

33

• Smart devices are spreading, how can official statistics use this?

• Most examples up to now use data from smart devices collected at some central point(s), either manufacturers portals or citizen science portals. This and other scenario’s have to be studied.

• We put together long list of smart devices, dive into most promising deeper, to set the ground for further studies

• Prepatory for the next ESSnet. We do not execute a PoC now but try to design a few as possible cases for the next ESSnet

• Countries : PT, NL, IT and more?
