Study on the Trial Construction and Operation of an Urban OS for Urban Analysis

Abstract

These days, in relation to the "Smart City" initiative, which aims at the overall optimization of cities using ICT, the construction of an IT system called urban operating systems (OS) is being advanced to control smart cities. An urban OS has the function of collecting various data from the city, and it is possible to clarify the issues and future predictions of the city by analyzing the obtained data. On the other hand, there is a lack of research on how to promote urban planning that utilizes the obtained data within the framework of a smart city. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to clarify the issues involved in constructing an urban OS and in utilizing the data contained in it for urban development. In this study, a frame of functions necessary for analyzing a city in urban OS is presented. After that, some of the functions of an urban OS is constructed based on this frame and operated on a trial basis to clarify the issues.
