This document discusses how the city of Chicago is utilizing MongoDB for its smarter city initiative called WindyGrid. WindyGrid integrates data from over a dozen sources and visualizes it on a map to provide situational awareness. Location is a common element across city data and provides opportunities for research. The University of Chicago has deployed sensors across the city as part of the Array of Things project, which frequently posts hyper-local data on sound, temperature, and more to WindyGrid. This open data is accessed through MongoDB and contributes to making Chicago a smarter city.
MongoDB Evenings Chicago - WindyGrid: Utilizing MongoDB for a Smarter & Safer City of Chicago
- 1. UTILITIZING MONGODB FOR A SMARTER CITY WINDYGRID
- 5. LOCATION IS OFTEN THE COMMON ELEMENT IN CITY DATA. MOST OF THE DATA AND POTENTIAL RESEARCH LIES IN LOCATION. THIS HELPS DICTATE THE TYPE OF RESEARCH METHODOLOGY NEEDED FOR MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS.
- 6. Built using open source software, WindyGrid is a real- time situational awareness system that brings over a dozen data sources together into a single application. Later this year, it will be released as an open source project. WindyGrid
- 7. WindyGrid
- 8. db.data_set.findOne() { “what” : { …describes what happened… }, “where” : { “latitude” : “longitude” : }, “when” : { “timestamp” : }, }
- 9. Array of Things University of Chicago has partnered with multiple institutions to build a mesh network of small sensors, dubbed the Array of Things, that will frequently post data for public consumption and to WindyGrid. arrayofthings.github.io
- 10. Array of Things The Array of Things will provide hyper- local, temporal data on using a variety of sensors: Sensors measuring sound and vibration Low-resolution infrared cameras measuring sidewalk temperature Climate and environmental data, such as air-quality and temperature
- 11. Array of Things
- 12. Array of Things
- 13. OPEN INTERNET OF THINGS Array of Things WindyGrid
- 14. OpenGrid is now an open source software that can be deployed in your organization.
