Projeto N.º │ 04/SI/2019– MIT flag ship (SI I&DT)

Designação do Projeto │C-TECH

Climate Driven Technologies for Low Carbon Cities

Objetivo Principal │The C-Tech project aims at researching, developing and validating a digital smart city platform for urban modelling and planning based on the current representation of the city, including the 3D representation of the building, road and street environment, where the characterization of these elements will be based in detailed statistical information as well as high resolution engineering data.

C-Tech aims at researching, developing and pilot-scale a digital smart city platform for urban modelling and planning which, based on a three-dimensional representation of the city and its combination with multiple data from different data sources (most of all – user’s behavior as determined by their mobile phone use) - will allow to simulate different scenarios regarding energy-efficiency of buildings, green structures’ creation and urban mobility energy efficiency, empowering local authorities to identify and tackle specific environmental issues, overcome the global challenge of decreasing urban carbon footprint and fostering the transition to a net-zero ecosystem.

Within C-TECH project, CEiiA will develop mobility models to better understand the urban mobility ecosystem and predict travel behaviors. Models will be based on a pilot conducted in Lisbon, although with potential to be replicable worldwide.
