Objectives:
ACCUS aims to provide an integration and coordination platform for urban systems in order to optimize their combined performance, thus achieving more flexible, more efficient, safer and more robust integratedn urban systems and managing their emergent behaviors.
ACCUS is focused on the integration of urban systems such as intelligent transport systems, city light systems and energy management systems. Rather than developing solutions for specific applications and scenarios, ACCUS will develop a theoretical framework (e.g. semantic interoperability concepts) and a practical framework (e.g. methodology, reference architecture) to design new applications within converged scenarios.
The challenge of ACCUS is to provide short-term R8-D results with commercial impact within a 3 to 5 years’ range by pushing innovative solutions into the market based on new ICT and new ideas and supporting the development of new applications, by proposing open-platform and increased interoperability to the research and industrial community, Il barriers hindering these goals.
- ACCUS is actively aiming at end user and stakeholder’s involvement.
- ACCUS will provide, from its Gdansk Use Case a strong impact in line with the new Smart Cities concepts under evolution, thus reinforcing th EU industrial competitiveness in this area.
The ACCUS project will provide an integration and coordination platform for urban subsystems to build applications across urban subsystems. This platform will be created with an adaptive and cooperative control architecture and corresponding algorithms for urban subsystems in order to optimize their combined performances. ACCUS will also provide methodologies and tools for creating real-time collaborative applications for System of Systems.
Different methodologies and tools will be designed for creating real-time collaborative applications for Sos, covering the entire life-cycle of applications for the integrated urban subsystems domain. Results include a reference architecture, platform software, design tools for information extraction and control, model-based design environment for application development, validation tools for application development, monitoring and visualization tools to track the system level operation.
Period of the project: 2013-2016
