CityPulse Smart City Datasets (Aarhus and Others)
Abstract
"Collection of real-world smart city IoT datasets from the CityPulse project, including vehicle traffic, parking occupancy, and weather data from Aarhus (Denmark) and other cities.[web:111][web:114][web:116]"
Description
Overview
The CityPulse Smart City Datasets collection provides multiple real-world data streams from smart city deployments, primarily in the city of Aarhus, Denmark, gathered in the EU CityPulse project.[web:111][web:114][web:116]
Key Data Streams
- Vehicle Traffic: Flow measurements between sensor pairs at 449 observation points over several six-month periods, with data available in raw CSV and semantically annotated formats.[web:111]
- Parking Data: Occupancy information from eight parking lots in Aarhus over about six months, including metadata about lot locations.[web:111]
- Weather Data: Meteorological observations for Aarhus (and Brasov) over multiple periods, again available as raw and annotated datasets.[web:111][web:114]
Structure and Formats
- Data are organized as separate CSV files for each stream, with additional RDF/Turtle files providing semantic annotations using the CityPulse information model.[web:111][web:116]
- Traffic, weather, pollution, parking, and event datasets can be downloaded either as combined archives or individually via the web interface.[web:111]
Use Cases
- Urban computing and multi-source data fusion across traffic, environment, and events.[web:111][web:114]
- Smart city services such as congestion prediction, parking recommendation, and context-aware applications.[web:111][web:110][web:116]
- Semantic IoT research using annotated data streams and Linked Data models.[web:111][web:116]
License and Terms
The CityPulse dataset page is publicly accessible and provides the raw and annotated data; users should review any licensing or acknowledgement requirements described on the project website and related publications before reuse.[web:111][web:116]
