Smart City concepts and IoT became increasingly attractive for many people, provoking intense discussions, conferences, meetings, publications and events. There is common understanding that urban areas are quickly changing along with the climate, environment, economics, energy, transportation and society in general. Many but (not all yet) recognized that more intelligent ways of urban management and governance are necessary to deal with these accelerated change and complexity.
However, looking beyond, the buzz into practical solutions which are based on new smart technologies, the interplay between administrations, planning and deployment providers, and the upsides and shortfalls of new solutions is still fairly difficult for the most of communities internationally.
Answering these and many other relevant questions requires expertise and deep knowledge of concrete local communities, its infrastructure, life patterns, resources as well as experience in implementation of Smart City projects. And all these increasingly require real time vison of processes of change as well as its prediction to be prepared to meet the challenges at the right time and in the right way.
However, to date, the examples of effective integrated solutions to all these issues are rare.
Due to the complexity and scale of the whole Big Urban System of Systems, novelty of many technologies required for Smart City projects, its quick change and high costs, there is principally no way to implement and have the Smart City project “Just Right”.
The level of investments and relevant risks require adaptive strategy of Smart City concepts implementation in the multiple cycles of the spiral development
“Planning next step –> Prototyping –> Experimenting -> Evaluation the results –> Planning new step”
It fosters
Realized by the multidisciplinary team including city specialists, urban planners and local service providers, such Smart City project piloting begins by building up this local Smart City Team as small core group of local specialists to support the project planning and developing the local Smart City Model.
The main stages of the project could include as follows:
The ultimate goals of the prototyping and experimenting could be as follows:
GOLEM Integrated Microelectronics Solutions GmbH, ASIDEES and national partners offer the city municipalities effective support in the implementation of the unique Smart City Monitor technology as a key digital transformation component of the Smart City project success. It enables linking of multiple heterogeneous urban data sources (IoT, sensors, smart meters over LoRaWan, 5G, etc.), various automated systems such as SCADA and others, web servers and databases including MS Excel tables) and transformation of these big data streams into holistic monitoring, analytics and controls of diverse urban processes in real time.
The Smart City Monitor actually runs the Digital Twin of the whole City that provides rich set of customized analytics and controls tuned to the interests of each stakeholder group including the administration, utility provides, public services, citizens, tourists and visitors. The Twin becomes the advanced AI- and Big Data driven real time transformation engine for experimenting with advanced Smart City solutions, digital economy and agenda, new business models that provides full transparency and analytic tools for evaluation of results and its forecasts by everyone interested in the urban development.
As a part of the whole Smart City project, which has multiple large infrastructural components, the Smart City Monitor technology has a tiny fraction of total project costs and require minimum investments while providing strong evidence basis for the success of the whole project.
Its typical implementation in the urban communities consists of the following practical steps:
Our company supports the implementation of the City Digital Twins enabling large set of optional smart applications
