The document discusses using Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to capture data from cities that can provide insights into issues like traffic, parking, waste management, and flooding. It describes how integrating data from various sensors, automating data collection, and analyzing the data can help cities address challenges and create value. The document also discusses empowering citizens to contribute data through their smartphones to help cities function better.

are missing?
Who is a
better and
safer bus
driver?

my electricity
bill?

THE NEED TO CONNECT THINGS
13. Security and Privacy of
data
Managing vast
amounts of data
Fragmented industry
Finding the right
business model
WHAT ARE THE BUSINESS CHALLENGES
14. The Final Aim of Smart City
• To support better living, create more opportunities, support stronger
and more cohesive communities and improve the quality of life
overall for all residents
• To make a better use of the public resources
• Reducing the operational costs of the public administrations.
15. Cities are the engines for economic growth
But the development was not always “smart,”
sacrificing health conditions, for instance, for greater
productivity.
16. Multiplier Effect of Economic Growth via
Technology
With greater use of technology, a number of cities are accumulating data,
delivering innovation, and enhancing lives of citizens.
17. BUILDING 3 TYPES OF CITIES
1. ROI-driven
– the aim of rolling out smart city technologies is to
generate income which pays for its deployment and
more. There are many cities in the western
hemisphere which fall into this category, such as Los
Angeles, London.
2. Carbon-driven
– The aim here is to reduce the carbon footprint and
ideally become carbon neutral long-term. These are
mainly cities in Middle and Northern Europe, such as
Luxembourg, Helsinki, etc.
3. Vanity-driven
– Finally, “vanity” driven cities are mainly driven by
events where the entire world is watching and they
want to be perceived as “modern”
18. TO OVERCOME 3 KEY CHALLENGES
Only by addressing all three can organizations turn raw data into information
and actionable insights.
Integrating data
from multiple
sources
Automating the
collection of data
Analyzing data to
effectively identify
actionable insights

EXAMPLE - SMART PARKING
Who park at this lot?
What kind of vehicle?
Where is the empty parking lot?
When is the peak period?
How to implement a tiered charging?
How to find “overstayed” vehicles?
Why this parking area is not fully
occupied?
Who Benefits? - Citizens / Parking Operators / City Council / Shops
26. The city would pay for access to
the light sensors in order to
decide when to turn on and off
the street lights
Gathering temperature, light,
pressure, humidity and
pollution.
COMMERCIAL IOT SENSOR PROVIDER
A university may want access
to the pollution information for
research purposes for a limited
period
The weather department
would want the temperature
and pressure data
The street town council center
would want the temperature
and humidity data for
planning during rough
weather
28. Smart City Agenda
For city leaders wanting to pursue a smart city agenda, citizen
inclusion is critical
29. As citizens turn smart so will the cities they inhibit.
Traffic Volume Maps
76% want sensors in streets, pavements and public areas to report how
crowded a street, shopping mall or park is.
THE RISE OF SMART CITIZENS
31. SMART CITIZEN TOOLS
Open source and
open data
Make
visible the
invisible
Sensing the city Provide tools for
the citizens to
interpret and
change the
workings of the
city
Technology may help mitigate the “black hole” problem.
EMPOWER THE CITIZENS TO SENSE

47. PREDICTING FLOOD
1. What is the water level in the river?
2. When does the river swell up?
3. Where is the location of water rise?
4. Where are the areas that require immediate evacuation?
5. Who is contributing to the rise in water level?
6. How to control the water level?
7. How fast is the water rising?
8. Why is the water rising?
48. FLOOD – SENSORS & INFRA
1. Water level and weather sensors
2. Tide monitoring sensor
3. Astronomical data
4. GPS for rescue vehicles (Plug-n-Play OBD)
5. GIS data
6. Camera
7. Social network integration
49. FLOOD MONITORING – VALUE PROPOSITION
1. Early warning system for floods
2. Locating the area of violation (cause of floods)
3. Efficient rescue planning
4. Plan the widening of the river banks
5. Plan deepening of the river bed
6. Predict the conditions of flooding when coupled with a weather
station, astronomical, tide and GIS.

7. How much garbage is produced in an area?
8. Why is the garbage truck not picking up garbage?
9. Why is a particular area producing more garbage?
52. WASTE MONITORING – SENSORS & INFRA

53. WASTE MANAGEMENT – VALUE PROPOSITION
• Timely pickup of full garbage bins
• Efficient routing of the garbage trucks
• Violation of service agreement by the garbage collectors
• Plan for future dumping sites
