<p>To reduce energy consumption and improve residents’ quality of life, “smart cities” should<br>
use not only modern technologies, but also the social innovations of the “Internet of Things” (IoT)<br>
era. This article attempts to solve transport problems in a smart city’s office district by utilizing<br>
gamification that incentivizes the carpooling system. The goal of the devised system is to significantly<br>
reduce the number of cars, and, consequently, to alleviate traffic jams, as well as to curb pollution and<br>
energy consumption. A representative sample of the statistical population of people working in one<br>
of the biggest office hubs in Poland (the so-called “Mordor of Warsaw”) was surveyed. The collected<br>
data were processed using spatial data mining methods, and the results were a set of parameters<br>
for the multi-agent system. This approach made it possible to run a series of simulations on a set<br>
of 100,000 agents and to select an effective gamification methodology that supports the carpooling<br>
process. The implementation of the proposed solutions (a “serious game” variation of urban games)<br>
would help to reduce the number of cars by several dozen percent, significantly reduce energy<br>
consumption, eliminate traffic jams, and increase the activity of the smart city residents.</p>
