The Smart Santander project focuses on advancing smart city services through extensive sensor technologies and infrastructure, transitioning from initial phases with 350 devices to a goal of 20,000 IoT devices. It targets key areas like mobility, traffic management, environmental monitoring, and public services while emphasizing cross-regional cooperation and user-driven innovation. The project's holistic approach aims to tackle challenges in the implementation of smart city concepts and ensure sustainable infrastructure development.

3. First phases activity areas:
Mobility and traffic management
• Vehicles detection in:
 Loading/unloading areas
 Urban transport bus-stops
 Limited-time parking lots
 Areas reserved for people with
reduced mobility
• Pollution (CO, noise)
• Weather (T, humidity, etc.)
Parking sensor node. To be deployed buried in
the asphalt. At the corresponding load/unload
area, bus stop or handicapped-reserved space.
Repeater. To be deployed at available street
lights or traffic lights.
Gateway. Connected to Internet/Intranet.
Radio link
 Analysis of potential services performed
 Evaluation KPIs identified for every use-case
 Infrastructure covering both research
requirements and end-user services defined
3
 Public surveys conducted in 5 languages

5. Heterogeneous sensor technology & network
infrastructure is necessary
• The type of sensors, RFID tags and mobile devices to be used to build smart scenarios is very
much related to the different services/use cases to be implemented, i.e.:
– Public Transportation and traffic control
– Parks and gardens control and management
– Environmental management and monitoring
– Public buildings, installations monitoring and management
– Street lighting, waste management, etc.
• A wide range of sensors, RFID tags and mobile devices is considered in these scenarios

7. Real World makes necessary to validate
technology in large scale real settings
Smart Santander aims at providing a European experimental test facility for the
research and experimentation of architectures, key enabling technologies, services and
applications for the Internet of Things (IoT) in the context of the smart city
20.000 IoT devices

8. But technological aspects cannot be considered
independently anymore!
Architectural reference model definition
Specification and design of the facility
Implementation of the system
Infrastructure deployment
Services & applications: Use cases for both
the research community and the end-users
Business models and sustainable exploita-
tion combining research & service support

9. Conclusions
• Internet of Things (IoT) technology, as a whole, is one of the
most powerful enablers for making the Smart City paradigm
a reality.
• SmartSantander addresses some key challenges of future
Smart Cities under a holistic approach to ensure the
materialization of the concepts and the sustainability of the
deployed infrastructures.
• Further to a cross-regional and cross-national co-operation,
leaded by local and regional authorities, the project
promotes a dialogue among companies, businesses, citizens,
and ICT researchers and developers applying user-driven
innovation methodologies.
