EU wide GeoSmartCity project combines 15 partners in 9 countries to identify, define, gather, harmonize, and release INSPIRE based geo-data and applications utilizing the data under Green Energy and Underground scenarios. Both scenarios define pilot applications aligned with local strategies and needs. Pilot targets vary from utility companies, authorities and policy makers to individual citizens. Green Energy traffic pilots in Turku and Girona aim to reduce CO2 and particle emissions in traffic produced by individual citizens offering information on the effect of vehicle choices, routes and available parking areas. The improved awareness results in less private traffic, shorter traveling times and more users of public transportation and zero emission means of traveling (bicycling and walking). Shared individual choices and green preferences are analyzed to provide real life grass root information for planning authorities and decision makers on preferred routes and rationale behind "green" decisions to select a certain vehicle, route or parking place in order to be able to make informed decisions involved in city planning. The main overall result of the project is GeoSmartCity hub that collects references and datasets of open geo-data including datasets used in Turku and Girona pilots. The hub is released as service for developers to build new applications.
