You find below materials produced in the RUGGEDISED project for experts in the sustainable urban transition. For more information about the individual smart solutions, please consult the factsheets.
The RUGGEDISED partners have worked across borders, organisations and thematic fields to develop more sustainable cities using smart city methods. The experiences have been captured by experts from Erasmus University and made available for free for teachers and students to benefit.
This report details how eighty cities are organizing data assets using state-of-the-art data platforms, and highlights the possible benefits cities can reap by establishing urban data platforms. Read the publication

Focussed on the Heart of South area, Rotterdam is implementing sophisticated smart grids and 3D platforms in partnership with industrial partners and local businesses . Read the publication.
This report details the work undertaken by the RUGGEDISED Lighthouse City of Glasgow to implement the City's smart solutions.
The work is centred around the Smart Street in the City and is an integral part of Glasgow's strategy to become more sustainable, fight fuel poverty and use ICT to connect the City. Read the publication.
This report details the work done by Umeå to make the City's University District into a model for other Smart Cities across Europe. The City has finished the implementation phase and is currently monitoring how the solutions work and contribute positively to the level of CO2 emissions and improves the quality of life for citizens.

In this work, researchers from Erasmus University and the University of Cologne tackle the complicated problem of planning the electric charging schedule amid various sources of uncertainty. The researchers develop a real-time decision support system (RDSS) that uses real-time data, predictions, and mathematical optimization to develop and update the charging schedule in order to mitigate the impact of operational uncertainties. Based on the insights, a Public Transport Operator started developing an online monitoring and control system adopting some of our suggestions. Find the article in the SSRN Library.
Heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) are by far the most energy intensive systems in commercial and institutional buildings with office spaces. This makes HVAC systems attractive targets for energy efficiency improvement. In this paper, researchers from Umeå University investigate how new technological advancements can play significant role on improving energy efficiency. Find the article on ResearchGate.
In this Conference paper, researchers from Erasmus University identify key UDP dimensions through a literature review. Second, by exploring and discussing their relationships with an expert panel, they develop a framework for understanding value creation through UDPs. By identifying key dimensions of UDP and their effects on value creation through UDP, the proposed framework provides a systematic and comprehensive approach for understanding UDP adoption, use, and value creation.
