AI3SD Video: Artificial Intelligence for Safer Urban Space

The ever-growing adoption of big data technologies, smart sensing, data science and artificial intelligence is enabling the development of new intelligent urban spaces with real-time monitoring and advanced cyber-physical situational awareness capabilities. The advancement of cyber-physical situational awareness is experimented for achieving safer smart city spaces in Europe and beyond. The deployment of digital twins leads to understanding real-time situation awareness and risks of potential physical and/or cyber-attacks on urban critical infrastructure specifically. The critical extraction of knowledge using digital twins, which ingest, process and fuse observation data and information, prior to machine reasoning can also be performed. In this cyber behavior detection modules, which identify unusualness in cyber traffic networks can be deployed together with a physical behaviour detection module, based on computer vision and statistical methods. The two modules function within the so-called Malicious Attacks Information Detection System (MAIDS) digital twin.
