Smart Cities: why they're not working for us yetRick Robinson
This is my January 2016 presentation to the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development as part of their preparation of a report on Smart Cities. The idea of a “Smart City” (or town, or region, or community) is 20 years old; but it has so far achieved comparatively little. The vast majority of Smart City initiatives to date are pilot projects funded by research and innovation grants: there are very, very few sustainable, repeatable solutions yet. This is partly because Smart Cities is usually discussed as a technology trend not an economic and political imperative; and so it has not won the support of the highest level of political leadership, and the widest level of community and citizen engagement. In a few cases where that level of leadership and engagement does exist, however, some cities have shown that existing policy tools and spending streams - such as procurement practises, planning frameworks and property investment - can be been used to create sustainable projects and programmes that can deliver real change.

CityNext is a Microsoft initiative to help cities harness new innovations by transforming operations and infrastructure, engaging citizens and businesses, and accelerating innovation and opportunity. It addresses the challenges of rapid urbanization including outdated infrastructure, increasing demands for services, and the need to remain economically competitive. Microsoft works with a vast ecosystem of partners offering enterprise-grade solutions on the Microsoft platform to meet the unique needs of cities. The goal is to help cities grow their economies, embrace new technologies and data, and provide a more sustainable future for citizens.
The document discusses challenges with current smart city approaches and the benefits of a platform approach. Key challenges include limited effectiveness and scalability of vertical solutions, lack of infrastructure and resource sharing between domains, and missing opportunities for synergies due to fragmented systems. A platform like Cisco Kinetic for Cities provides a standardized, integrated way to aggregate and normalize data from multiple vendors and sensor types. This enables cross-domain insights and applications while reducing costs and complexity for city management.
AI & IoT in the development of smart citiesRaunak Mundada
Smart cities utilize information and communication technologies to improve economic and social well-being while reducing environmental impact. Internet of things (IoT) technologies allow cities to become smart through applications like smart grids, waste management, traffic management, and load forecasting. Artificial intelligence and deep learning techniques can help with load forecasting and optimizing these smart city applications through analyzing real-time sensor data from areas like energy use, transportation, and infrastructure monitoring. The document provides examples of how cities like Barcelona, London, and Singapore are successfully implementing IoT and AI strategies to address challenges from urbanization and improve services.
This document discusses how cities can compete in the new innovation economy by becoming smarter. It argues that skills, knowledge, talent, diversity, and innovation will be increasingly important drivers of economic growth. Cities will need to use data and analytics to improve services, attract and retain skilled workers, and gain competitive advantages over other cities. The document provides examples of how smarter transportation, law enforcement, and other services can make cities safer, more efficient, and better places to live and work. It emphasizes that developing analytics skills across the entire workforce will be important for cities to effectively use data to solve problems and improve decision-making.

Smart city simply means the use of information technology(IT) at the city level, which was first applied to the desk in 1980s and then expanded to the office or the home and the building in that order. Smart city enables citizen to make the right decision and act like an expert by moving intelligence from human to city structure. Smart city has four characteristics; self-orarnizing city, generative city, citizen-centric city, and realtime city. In order to succeed in building smart city, emphasis should be put on the city platform. Without a city-wide platform, it is impossible to combine data from different sources and to create smart services. This slide explains what is smart city, how to start smart city, and what benefits smart city will accompany.

This document discusses how real-time traffic information is not sufficient to manage traffic congestion. While modern transportation infrastructure provides real-time data on traffic conditions, it cannot anticipate and prevent congestion from occurring. Predictive analytics that integrate historical data with real-time information can forecast traffic issues well in advance, allowing decisions to be made ahead of developing problems and enabling proactive mitigation of congestion. IBM's Traffic Prediction Tool piloted in Singapore uses this approach to provide accurate predictions and recommendations to optimize traffic flow across all modes of transportation.
IoT can be complex and confusing with many definitions often perceived by enterprises. But it's not a futuristic trend because it's already happening and we can start small with existing 'things'.

The images are processed using OpenCV's Kalman filter for background subtraction and Tesseract OCR to extract the number plate text. The number plate text is matched to a payment database on the Raspberry Pi. If a match is found, the appropriate toll amount is deducted from the vehicle owner's virtual account using GSM communication. The proposed system aims to provide a more efficient and transparent alternative to existing toll collection methods. An experiment showed the proposed method achieved higher accuracy than existing LIFI-based systems in terms of filtering, processing and communication range.
