Smart Cities in the IoT age
We live in a densely urbanized world More than 7 billion people in the world 50% living in Cities 70% will live in urban areas by 2050 Global average urbanization rate around 2% 40 megacities with over 10m inhabitants What about Spain? About 50 million people 80% lives in Cities Urbanization rate is 0.52% Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia as most populated Cities 7
Key concerns in urban communities Energy and water Mobility and traffic CO2 emissions Waste Public safety People and businesses needs Increasing expectations around quality of life and public services... and more Healthcare Education 8
Sustainability in action: the City of San Leandro Smart Lighting as first step of an ambitious Climate Action Plan 4,730 smart LED streetlights monitored and controlled through PE Smart Urban Network 9
6LoWPAN-based Smart Lighting City-wide layout of all node indicators (above) and gateway locations (right) 10
Real-time monitoring and control One light fixture node showing dimming controls, metering and other real-time information 11
Measuring ROI Total Infrastructure Upgrades USD 5,270,455 Lifecycle Savings USD 12,089,594 Net Project Savings USD 1,348,552 GHG emissions Positive cash flow - 1,390 metric tons/year USD 1.5 million over 15 years Street lighting in San Leandro (before and after LED conversion) 12
6LoWPAN to pilot other smart solutions Harvey Mudd College scholarship program Build on the Internet of Things and existing PE Smart Urban Network platform to prototype a Smart Waste application om 802.15.4/6LoWPAN protocols Possible extension to other urban services, including Smart Irrigation and Smart Art Lighting, Air Quality/ Pollution City Council now evaluating the extension of PE Smart Urban Network to Pervasive Wi-Fi and Smart Parking 13
Successful Smart Cities around the world Bellinzona - Switzerland - 2 000 streetlights - Dimming and Scheduling, Improved energy usage Chiasso - Switzerland - Up to -70% daily power consumption - Smart lighting, Smart parking, WiFi, video, Smart metering Smart Cambodia - 8 000 smart streetlights - 800 000 USD and 80% of energy saved per year Siracusa - Italy - 1 500 smart streetlights - WiFi, video Surveillance, Variable message Panels, digital boards
Defining a smart check-list
Smart check-list Smartness Data 6LoWPAN / IP standards 16
What does smartness mean? Memory Intellect Predict Plan Manage Improve Discover Information Action
From data to action Field devices operate and generate data Collect and correlate data Analyze data to get actionable knowledge Act
IoT, revolution or evolution? Mechanization (mechanical loom) Electrification (assembly lines) Automation (robotized lines) Information The Internet of Things Industry 4.0 1800 1900 2000 TODAY
IoT, revolution or evolution?
Turning Cities smart 3. Be ready to design the Next Smart One 2. Add and integrate more services according to City needs 1. Implement the smart urban infrastructure
Clear benefits for Smart communities Livability Sustainability Enabling people to be smart citizens Fostering local businesses with job, innovation and growth opportunities Local economy
Open Standards as foundation for interoperability Open Standars as the wings of innovation: it s not about what we see, it s all about what we don t see 23
Would you buy a laptop or a smartphone which can only connect to a proprietary network? 24
Why 6LoWPAN and IP standards? Connect and control any urban device (meter, light, sensor, etc.) offering real time bi-directional data exchange and true interoperability Scale indefinitely and provide high service resilience Reduce single source risks for multi-decade long major projects, enabling future proof investments Fast-track innovation
