Approach
iCity applies advanced data analysis and visualization capabilities to improve urban transportation system performance and design efficient, sustainable cities for the well-being of individuals and society. The iCity multidisciplinary team applies an integrated “systems of systems” approach, to analyze policy and support decision makers with objective evidence of the costs, benefits and effectiveness of alternative urban transportation systems designs.

This iCity research project has three interconnected themes that, collectively, support the development of improved real-time control and information systems, urban planning, design and decision-making:
  • Urban Informatics for Transportation Operations, Planning and Decision-Making, provides both the ontological framework and software platform for implementation of our systems of systems approach.
  • Urban Mobility & Integrated Urban Systems Design, addresses a set of key transportation system design issues, namely Complete Streets, Parking, Transit Management, Integrated Urban Modelling and Transit-Oriented Planning.
  • Visualization and Decision-Support, creates advanced visualization tools that apply to and cut across the full range of Theme 1 and 2 activities.
