BigDataEurope Workshop at Bordeaux ITS World Congress

The workshop focuses on Big Data in the H2020 Societal Challenge Smart, green and integrated transport. Participants to this workshop will have the opportunity to influence the design, and ultimate benefit from the Big Data platform that the BigDataEurope project will deliver. This platform aims to facilitate Big Data usage in real world examples, and will consist of an architecture, components, guidelines and best practices to make the best of Big Data in this case in the setting of transport.

The workshop will focus on the elicitation of requirements for Big Data management within the intelligent transport domain.

The interactive workshop will consist of three sessions with keynote presentations on the topics of:

• BigDataEurope and existing Data-centric initiatives in Transport
• Existing and potential Big Data use-cases and applications in Transport
• Tools and technologies Technical requirements for a Big Data Platform in Transport

The presentations will be followed by a one hour break-out session, where participants can join one of the three groups on Policy, Data and Technology, or Business.  The chairmen of the three break-out groups will report to the Plenary Session and the workshop will be rounded off with a  final Q&A session.
