What are Smart Cities There is no single consensus definition of a smart city, but there is some agreement that a smart city is one in which information and communication technology (ICT) facilitates improved insight into and control over the various systems that affect the lives of residents.

Smart City A smart city is an urban development vision to integrate information and communication technology (ICT) and Internet of things (IoT) technology in a secure fashion to manage a city's assets. To be fully smart, a city must be connected. 5
The Connected City A connected city is one where all relevant city systems transportation, utilities, employment, health care, public safety, education, and others are capable of communicating with each other to allow coordination and reduce waste. 6
Smart/Connected City A smart/connected city is a system of interconnected systems including: Employment Health care Retail/entertainment Public services Residences Energy distribution Transportation The system of systems is tied together by information and communications technologies (ICT) that transmit and process data about all sorts of activities within the city. 7
Smart/Connected City, contd. Smart/connected cities contain and use intelligent infrastructure Devices and equipment that can sense the environment and/or their own status, send data, and often, receive commands. Smart/connected cities use new analytical processes that have been facilitated by ICT advances Big data analysis Crowdsourcing to gather data and solve problems Gamification to incentivize behaviors Engage the connected citizen 8
Smart or Resilient City Smart City deploys electronic data collection Smart City Characteristics Safe Secure Efficient Affordable services Small to no carbon footprint Resilient City also provides quick restoration 9
Top Ten Resilient Cities 1. Copenhagen, Denmark 6. Paris, France 2. Curitiba, Brazil 7. San Francisco, USA 3. Barcelona, Spain 8. New York, USA 4. Stockholm, Sweden 9. London, UK 5. Vancouver, Canada 10. Tokyo, Japan 10
11 Building Blocks of a Smart City
Smart City Platform for City Info and Services 12 Source: Howard Bandler, IEEE Electrification, March 2016
Range of Deployments in Smart Cities Cities across the world are deploying technology to gather data trying to become cleaner, reduce traffic, and improve urban life. Starting with energy management, to disaster preparedness, to public safety, to parking spot assistance, to paying bills online, to facilitate emergency vehicle movement, and much more. 13
Connected Transportation Connected vehicles and travelers will be able to share data with all sorts of equipment, not only transportation-related devices and infrastructure, as they become integrated into the Internet of Things Travelers will increasingly be able to procure mobility as a service, rather than purchase vehicles or make other long-term commitments to particular modes of travel (eg, self-driven cars) 14
Connected Transportation Connected vehicles and travelers will be able to share data with all sorts of equipment, and be able to procure mobility as a service, whenever wherever. 15

17 Stockholm City Traffic Management
Bus Traffic Priority The system allows buses that are more than a minute behind schedule to automatically receive priority at traffic lights. This helps the blue inner city buses in public transport to keep the schedule, regardless of traffic. 18
Elements of a Smart City A neighborhood in a smart city: A smart traffic crossing sensitive to traffic volume Synchronized traffic lights for smooth flow Emergency vehicle priority access 19
Traffic Signal Pre-emption for Emergency and Transit Vehicles Emitter 20 https://vtechworks.lib.vt.edu/bitstream/handle/10919/31319/thesisfinalversion.pdf?sequence=1

US Deployment: Smart Lamppost with Camera Camera can locate empty parking spaces 24
25 Smart Trash Cans in Baltimore, USA
Smart Waste Bin in Stockholm, Sweden 26
Benefits of Smart Waste Bins Mobile devices and sensors that report in real time when the bins are about to become full and it is time for emptying. They also have built-in technology that packs the waste. Regular bins need to be emptied 1 3 times per day. Smart bins are solar powered and packs the waste. They only need to be emptied four times a week. This means fewer garbage collection runs, lower costs and reduced emissions. 27 -City of Stockholm

Smart City, Spain Santander, Spain Living experimental laboratory smart city 10,000 sensors located around downtown Attached to street lamps, poles, building walls, beneath the asphalt of parking lots. Sensors data collection from: Traffic, environment, weather, and people. Smart phone applications makes the data available to citizens Real-time transit information, culture event schedules, tourist sightseeing information, and retail offers. 30
