Case Study Challenged to solve major urban issues such as traffic control, Kyushu University launched an Urban OS project, applying advanced graph analysis to demonstrate how to optimize traffic for the city of Fukuoka, Japan. By running the analysis on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Moonshot System, the University analyzed 320,000 nodes and 700,000 edges of a transportation network graph in just 2 minutes, 30 seconds. This achievement will ultimately enable Fukuoka to collect and analyze sensor data every 15 to 30 minutes to control traffic signaling and digital displays in near real time for optimal traffic routing or emergency evacuations. As the Internet of Things becomes reality, many researchers and municipal planners are now looking to build on this vast
