Innovate UK: NEXUS - Real Time data fusion and Network Analysis for Urban Systems

该项目将结合基于牛津市及其社会和经济发展需求的多种数据源。该团队包括英国电信作为主要合作伙伴，提供先进的数据分析和可视化软件工具，以及访问一些联网的大型数据源。学术研究伙伴是世界领先的牛津互联网研究所(OII)，该研究所将领导新颖的图形和网络可视化分析。最终用户是牛津市议会，他们对该项目的产出表现出了浓厚的兴趣；因为该市在未来十年面临许多具有挑战性的限制。受经济增长、人口增长、住房需求和严重交通问题的推动。这座城市还必须在旅游业的强烈需求和为其庞大的学生人口提供的社会服务之间取得平衡。该项目旨在实时整合一些与社会、经济和交通相关的数据流，为这座城市提供革命性的地理空间观点和视角，以应对其新出现的挑战。这一新能力将促进城市规划、资源管理、社会经济发展，并减少因改善交通运营而造成的污染/拥堵。

This project will combine multiple data sources based on Oxford City and its social and economic development requirements. The team comprises BT as lead partner, to provide advanced data analytics and visual software tools, plus access to a number of networked large-scale data sources. The academic research partner is the world-leading Oxford Internet Institute (OII), who will lead on novel graph and network visualisation analysis. The end user is Oxford City Council, who have expressed a keen interest in the project outputs; as the city faces a number of challenging constraints in the coming decade. Driven by economic growth, population increase, housing demand, and serious transport issues. The city must also balance intense demands from tourism, and social provision for its large student population. The project will aim to integrate a number of social, economic and transport related data streams in real-time to provide the city with a revolutionary geo-spatial viewpoint and perspective into its emerging challenges. This new capability will facilitate city planning, resource management, social-economic development, and reduced pollution/congestion from improved transport operations
