Present and future urban challenges
• Urban residents growing + 60 M Year
• 60 % world’s population will be
living in cities by 2050
• + 100 cities of 1 M pops will be built
in the next 10 years
4. SMART CITIES INITIATIVE
URBANIZATION CHALLENGE
Purpose & Scope:
Assist municipalities in managing this transition to urbanization.
Raise awareness of the benefits and downsides of technology and help guide
the appropriate uses of technology.
By engaging with IEEE, municipalities would be assured that the “best of
breed” technologies and standards are being utilized in their projects.
Pilot in Guadalajara, Mexico
The Guadalajara Municipality has
launched a major project, Guadalajara
Ciudad Creativa, (GCC) whose goals are
very much aligned with the IEEE
Urbanization initiative.
5. INITIATIVE OBJECTIVES
The IEEE Smart Cities Initiative is a global, multi-disciplinary effort to:
Create a vibrant and world wide network of cities, providing
education, insights and expertise
Collaborate to share knowledge, experience and good practices
Involve local governance, universities, industries and local
IEEE volunteers
Assist municipalities in managing the transition to urbanization
Raise awareness of the benefits and downsides of technology
and help guide the appropriate uses of technology
Build collaboration with organizations
6. DELIVERABLES

Standards
7. IEEE STANDARDS ON SMART WORLD
INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION
IEEE 802.11p supports communication between vehicles and the roadside
and between vehicles while operating at speeds up to a minimum of 200 km/h
for communication ranges up to 1000 meter in the 5 GHz bands; specifically
5.850-5.925 GHz band within North America with the aim to enhance the
mobility and safety of all forms of surface transportation, including rail and
marine.
8. IEEE STANDARDS ON SMART WORLD
IEEE 1609 Family of Standards for Wireless Access in Vehicular Environments
(WAVE) define an architecture and a complementary, standardized set of services and
interfaces that collectively enable secure vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and vehicle-to-
infrastructure (V2I) wireless communications.
