Motivated by the current challenges, RADICAL will open new horizons in the development, deployment and operation of interoperable social networking and IoT services in smart cities, notably services that could be flexibly and successfully customized and replicated across multiple cities. To this end, RADICAL will create a novel ICT platform, the RADICAL platform, enabling the rapid development and deployment of pervasive multi‐sensory and socially‐aware services for urban environments and territories.
The project partners are piloting seven distinct pilot services dealing with Cycling Safety Improvement, Products Carbon Footprint Management, Object‐driven Data Journalism, Participatory Urbanism, Augmented Reality, Eco‐consciousness and the Commercial and Transactional Data for Pedestrian Flows. These pilot services will be accordingly replicated across several smart cities of the consortium, taking into account the peculiarities of the various cities in terms of their technical infrastructures, socio‐economical characteristics and legal environments. A living labs approach involving representative samples of the population is employed in order to study the penetration and sustainability of the services within each individual city.
This project is co-funded by the European Commission under the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme (C.I.P.).
