Riga is gradually upgrading its street lighting system by replacing outdated sodium lamps with energy-efficient LED lights equipped with smart controllers. These solutions allow the brightness to be adjusted based on actual needs, helping to reduce electricity consumption and environmental impact. The Significance of the Project for Riga Many streetlights in Riga are outdated and […]
An expanded air quality monitoring network operates in Riga, providing a broader and more detailed dataset on urban air pollution levels. Before the project, air quality monitoring was limited to only a few stations, which did not offer a complete picture of pollution distribution and variations across different areas. By expanding the system with additional sensors, […]
Currently, mobility data in Riga is stored across various systems and municipal departments that are not interconnected. This fragmentation limits the ability to efficiently analyze traffic flow, public transport operations, and sustainable mobility development. To address this issue, a unified mobility data ecosystem is being developed, providing centralized, structured, and accessible data to enhance transport […]
EnergyGuard is developing and enhancing a network of artificial intelligence (AI) testing and experimentation facilities to evaluate AI solutions in the energy sector – including electricity grids, energy supply, renewable energy sources, energy communities, and energy efficiency. By testing and assessing these solutions, the project promotes the development of effective, sustainable, and reliable products and […]
The Cycle4Climate project promotes the reduction of CO₂ emissions from urban transport by providing mobility planning experts with the knowledge and tools to implement effective and practical measures. The project focuses on changing people’s travel habits, encouraging them to switch from daily car use to cycling. The Significance of the Project for Riga Transitioning to […]
The EvoRoads project focuses on improving road safety, with special attention to vulnerable road users, such as cyclists and e-scooter riders. Riga is one of six pilot cities in Europe where new data-driven solutions is being tested and developed to reduce traffic accidents and enhance infrastructure safety. The Significance of the Project for Riga The […]
Riga Digital Agency is the Latvian coordinator of the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium (EDIC) Local Digital Twins & CitiVERSE, aiming to promote the development and integration of local digital twins on a European scale. The goal of this initiative is to establish a unified network of urban digital twins, helping cities manage urban development more efficiently […]
