The bold city vision will correspondingly be supported by an adequate investment and resourcing plan (T5.11) (connected to Task 5.2).

+Trondheim eMaaS Demonstration

This deliverable details the implementation of the electro-Mobility-as-a-Service demonstration project in Trondheim including the following elements: 1) two eMaaS hubs at Sluppen (Sluppenveien 17B) and at Brattøra (the basement of Powerhouse) with initially 10 EVs and 10 E-Bikes each; 2) V2B and V2G enabled via installation of Smart Chargers using (Open Charge Point Protocol - OCPP v.2.0 or higher) at Sluppen and integrated with the DEPB and the Energy Trading Platform (T2.2, T2.5) followed by V2B/V2G installation at Brattøra; 3) the Seamless eMobility platform (connected to Task 5.8).

Monitoring and Evaluation Dashboard

The M&E Dashboard is an interactive web-based system employing various methods of modelling, pattern algorithms, and analysis to build intelligence and a representation of events. The data output from the platform will be stored and managed in an M&E repository with spatial capabilities. This database will be arranged in a variety of different spatial formats for interoperability in the design of the database. Core functionality of the Dashboard includes: 1) the ability to publish web-based or mobile reporting with intuitive interactive displays that indicate the state of a performance metric compared with a goal or target value; 2) dissemination of up-to-date data from operational applications, or in conjunction with a complex-event processing engine; 3) provision of an ‘early warning’ scoring system that will assess and measure on-going impact. Finally, the system can operate as a standalone facility or through the ICT ecosystem integrated/overlayed with other interfaces or public screens (connected to Task 7.2).

+Trondheim Citizen Observatory

This deliverable describes the implementation of Citizen Observatories located at and linked to the Distributed Positive Energy Blocks (DPEBs) in four sites in Trondheim: Sluppen, Brattøra, the central square of Trondheim city (Trondheim Torg), and Adressaparken. The Sluppen Observatory interacts with existing Innovation Labs FAKTRY, AI Lab and IoT Protolab. The Brattøra Observatory will use the new square in front of the new Business School and Powerhouse positive energy building while the Trondheim Torg Observatory is located in the physical centre of the city. Finally, the existing Adressaparken Observatory will be further extended to try new digital forms of narrative to support DPEBs in Trondheim. The Citizen Observatory demos include a digital platform (“Playable Trondheim”) for increased citizen understanding, ownership and active participation including interactive mapping that enables a 2-way dialogue regarding the aims, goals, motivations and ambitions of the communities with the urban authorities (connected to Task 5.3).

Data Management Plan (Initial version)

This deliverable describes how data is handled in accordance with FAIR principles. In addition, recruitment and informed consent procedures and templated will be included in the deliverable as per Sec 5.1. In addition, description of the processing of personal data, including Data Protection Officer appointments linked with the DMP, technical and organisational measures and anonymisation techniques to ensure privacy and data protection rights of data subjects, informed consent for data processing, and relevance of data collected (connected to Task 11.6).
