Example 1 using City Bus data set

Use location data to track the buses routes through the city
Do the routes adequately cover the desired area?
Should certain stops be moved to a different route to provide more optimum
coverage and lower cost?

Check the various routes from day to day

Focus on daily variances on the same route - why are the routes different?
Road construction, drivers making special trips, etc

Are the busses on time?

If the busses are regularly late, does the schedule need to be changed to account for
the new times between stops?
Which days & times are the busses most likely to be on time?

Bus metrics
How many miles has the bus travelled?
Use this information for maintenance scheduling

2014 IBM Corporation

Example 1 using City Bus data set (2)

Use in conjunction with some other (generated) data to perform
correlations:
Additional passenger data would allow for capacity planning
How full are the busses?
Does there need to be more busses placed on the routes at various times?

Additional weather data would allow for seasonal/weather event driven

capacity planning
Is there any correlation between rainy days and bus ridership?
Should more busses be placed in service in the winter/summer?

Additional driver data would allow for scheduling planning

How many miles/hours has each driver driven?
Excess driver miles could increase accidents and impact passenger safety

Example 2 using Energy Meter data set #1

Scenario involves electricity usage for 1166 homes for one month

This data can represent the historian data for these homes.

Hacker can also integrate (virtual or real) sensors to generate additional
real time data for one home or a number of individual homes. Real time
sensor data would be inserted into the home gateway database

Application can focus on the real time data for a single home and respond
to incoming sensor data. For example:
Change thermostat when electricity usage exceeds some threshold
Start washing machine when electricity usage falls below some threshold

Application can use local data from the home gateway together with
historian data for the home and city for better analysis and threshold
response.

2014 IBM Corporation

Example 3 using Energy data sets #2

Data includes water and electricity usage for 10,000 homes for one year

Data represents the historian (Cloud) data for these homes

Hackers can also integrate (virtual or real) sensors to generate additional
real time data for one home or a number of individual homes. Real time
sensor data would be inserted into the home gateway database

Application can focus on the real time data for a single home and respond
to incoming sensor data. For example:
Change thermostat when electricity usage exceeds some threshold
Start washing machine when electricity usage falls below some threshold
Water the lawn when water usage falls below some threshold

Application can use local data from the home gateway together with
historian data for the home and city for better analysis and threshold
response
2014 IBM Corporation

Example 3 using Energy data sets #2 (2)

Work with the local gateway data and correlate the temperature and water
consumption data for one home

Establish real world scenario around cost savings (examples)

Water more than XXX gallons per month is more expensive

Water delivered during peak hours is more expensive
Water delivered when temperature exceeds a threshold is more expensive

Define thresholds/triggers to respond to the sensor data and the analytics

When to water the lawn
When to activate the clothes washer, dishwasher, etc.

Build a (dashboard?) application to allow the home owner to interact with

the data
See what is going on real time and historical
Establish thresholds/triggers/actions to activate lawn sprinklers, washing
machine, dishwashers, fill swimming pool, etc.

Incorporate the Cloud (city level) data to provide comparisons between

local house and the entire city
2014 IBM Corporation

Example 3 using Energy data sets #2 (3)

Work with the Cloud data and correlate the temperature and water
consumption data for the city

Determine some capacity and cost valuations for water resources
(examples)
How much water can the system deliver?
Potable water could be more expensive than non-potable water. Some ways
to analyze the data with these variations.

Establish real world scenario around this data (examples)

Which neighborhoods/homes use the most water?
Relationships between temperature and water consumption
Forecasting future water usage based on previous water usage and
temperature data
Forecasting infrastructure enhancements in water delivery system to be able to

This approach involves creative analytics on the data and developing

ways to present it.

Example 4 using Health Care data set

Data includes vital sign data from a health care monitoring device which
reads body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure and respiration rate
15 minute interval data is available for 10,000 patients for one year

This data can represent the cloud based historian data

One scenario could be tracking patient progress using one or more of
these vital signs over time

Use in conjunction with some other (generated) historian data to perform
correlations:
Where were the readings taken? (Hospital vs. Assisted care Facility vs. home)
May allow some correlation between the vital signs and the location
May allow some comparisons between different facilities

What kind of diagnosis was the patient given and when?

Track the changes in vital signs before, during and after the diagnosis

2014 IBM Corporation

Example 4 using Health Care data set(2)

Incorporate real time sensor data (real or virtual sensors) to allow the
application to work with both real time (gateway) data and historian
(cloud) data

One scenario could represent the various floors of a hospital. Virtual
sensors upload patient vital sign data to a hospital floors gateway
database
In this kind of usage, data for some of these sensors should be arriving each
second
Need to respond to urgent situations (heart rate = 0) in real time
Dashboard type program to allow monitoring of each patient from central
location
Mechanism to establish individual alert thresholds for each patient
View historical data as well as current data

Use in conjunction with some other (generated) historian data to perform

correlations mentioned earlier

Develop (mobile?) application to display to view the status of the home and
to (virtually) interact with various components: (examples)
Arm and disarm the security system
Turn on/off the lights
Turn off the lawn sprinklers

Develop some other views of the data and a mechanism to present it

2014 IBM Corporation

Example 7 smart parking (virtual sensors)

Scenario involves a parking garage assigning parking spaces

Each parking space is instrumented, for example:
Occupied/empty
Time of event

Each car could have some identifier (RFID?)

Virtual arrival and departure of cars at various times
Some percentage of cars represent short term parkers (shoppers) vs. some
are long term parkers (workers)
Program assigns parking spots

Virtual sensors upload data to the garage gateway database

Mobile program for driver to view parking garage, parking space
assignment and fee for parking

Administration program viewing all the parking assignments and billing
2014 IBM Corporation

Example 7 smart parking (virtual sensors) (2)

Cloud database would represent consolidated view of all of the parking
garages in the city

Cloud database would help city planners:
Capacity planning are there enough parking spaces?
How many cars are turned away?
Billing strategy higher charges for peak hours?

This approach involves creative analytics on the data and developing

ways to present it.
