A collaborative smart city research project

As part of the Smart DCU (Dublin City University) program, which is utilizing the university campus as a test site to explore and evaluate the latest advancements in smart city solutions, Dublin City University (DCU) is collaborating with Insight SFI Research Center for Data Analytics (Insight) and Bentley Systems. This collaborative initiative aims to investigate the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and immersive digital twin technology using DCU as a city microcosm for developing intelligent and sustainable urban spaces. It strives to push the boundaries of digital twins by leveraging Insight’s AI expertise and Bentley’s advanced technology applications in a secure and controlled campus environment, helping guide cities in the strategic deployment of smart city innovations.

The project involves establishing AI algorithms and digital twins to simulate and visualize scenarios and use predictive analytics to improve mobility and safety on campus, as well as enable real-time monitoring of building performance, occupancy, and air quality. The goal is to gather digital insight to help the university better understand how people, traffic, and buildings interact within the built environment, making more informed decisions.
