Overview
Details

Student-consultants will analyze city data sets (normally available through open city portals, etc.) through state-of-the-art Machine Learning and Data Mining technologies, to: identify trends, and/or create predictive models. Their models are used to create solutions for infrastructure sectors (transportation, building, energy, urban water/drainage, etc.) which can be deployed using digitalization in smart cities.


Learner skills
Machine learning, Data analysis, Sustainability, Rapidminer, Infrastructure engineering
Deliverables

The student will deliver the following:

  1. A 10 - 15 page report, explaining their problem statement and objectives, the methods they followed, The model they developed, and Their results;
  2. A 10-15 minute presentation
  3. The model(s) developed (in form of RapidMiner processes), as well as the pre-processed data they used

Project Examples

Student-consultants will analyze urban data sets using data mining and machine learning technologies to improve city efficiency, sustainability and resilience.

Some past project examples include:

  • Road Condition Assessment through Data Mining
  • Real Estate Price Forecast through Data Mining
  • Predictions for Available Parking Spots in Various North American Cities
  • Analysis of Road Safety and Road Accidents
  • Improving Building Thermal Comfort and Energy Performance using Machine Learning
  • Analysis and Prediction of Energy Consumption Behavior at Building, District and City Level
