Smart Cities and Positive Energy Districts: Urban Perspectives in 2021

Energy Management in Smart Cities

Intelligent Urban Data Monitoring for Smart Cities

Urban data management is already an essential element of modern cities. The authorities can build on the variety of automatically generated information and develop intelligent services that improve citizens daily life, save environmental resources or aid in coping with emergencies. From a data mining perspective, urban data introduce a lot of challenges. Data volume, velocity and veracity are s...

Energy Consumption and Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Networks Applications in Smart Cities: Simulation for Urban Mobility

From now to 2030, the world urban mobility will increase by 50%. This increase will be mainly performed in developing countries which already suffer from congestion traffic especially in large cities where road traffic reaches a high density. This situation leads to a serious impact on the economic and social growth. The urban traffic management has become an essential factor. Within the framew...

Urban Policies and Mobility Trends in Italian Smart Cities

This study uses indicators to evaluate the progress made by Italian cities in the smart mobility sector, in order to understand how these cities have approached the new guidelines imposed by the European Union, and how they have implemented the European changes. Specifically, this study analyses the evolution of public transportation systems, using a sample of twenty-two Italian cities for thre...

Analysis and Visualization of Urban Emission Measurements in Smart Cities

Cities worldwide aim to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality for their citizens. Therefore, there is a need to implement smart city approaches to monitor, model, and understand local emissions to better guide these actions. We present our approach that deploys a number of low-cost sensors through a wireless Internet of Things (IoT) backbone and is thus capable of collec...
