KI-basierte Entscheidungsplattform für klimaneutrale urbane Mobilität

Digital change is leading to fundamental transformations in urban mobility. To consider these transformations in cross-modal planning and monitoring processes in a timely manner, KI.M will provide access to a portfolio of datasets and algorithms for different tasks in the context of transport and mobility. The added value of the project lies in the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for validating, enriching, linking, and interactively visualizing this data. Thereby, KI.M will support a uniform data ecosystem for climate-friendly urban mobility and will help to avoid isolated solutions.
The basis of KI.M is a comprehensive, continuously updated and validated knowledge base that maps the diverse aspects of urban mobility behavior in the respective situational context. The contained multimodal data (anonymized movement data of telecom and mobility app users, weather, environmental indicators, open data, public debate, etc.) are automatically linked using a domain-specific knowledge graph. In addition to the automated linking, the contextualization of the data plays a decisive role, for example when forecasting event-related mobility or the influence of weather on intermodal route chains. This enables providers to assess whether an innovative mobility solution is advisable for a specific use case, or whether existing resources can be distributed more efficiently.
AI-based semantic methods continuously adapt, validate and expand the knowledge graph. A mobility dashboard will embed the knowledge graph to support structured and intuitive access to data from heterogeneous sources. This will increase transparency and create a better basis for decision-making, strengthen existing cooperation and customer relationships and help to develop new mobility offers and assess them in the context of current trends. Assessment models will help to convert the results into appropriate recommendations for action, to develop systemic relevance by supporting policy makers and strategic decisions.
The semantic interlinking of datasets is important to effectively manage data spaces and provide structured access mechanisms to retrieve the most relevant data. Conceived as a decision-making platform and portfolio of value-adding data services, KI.M will offer both an Eclipse Dataspace Connector and a REST API to integrate third-party data into the KI.M knowledge base, and to use metadata-enriched content for external applications. The primary target groups are city officials and mobility service providers, whose needs will be captured in a Stakeholder Forum to maximize the added value of the project. The support of the Eclipse Dataspace Components (EDC) standard will facilitate the reuse of KI.M data and methods in national data spaces (mobility, mobility transition, energy transition, tourism, sustainability, etc.) and also support cross-border collaboration according to the framework of Gaia-X and the International Data Space Association (IDSA).
