4. Use Case: Retail Shop Performance Measurement
Application:
Provide a solution that would allow measuring the performance of individual shops of a chain (franchising).
The basic concept was to correlate the data with regards to people entering respectively leaving the shop with the transactions (customer interactions) including financial transactions, contracts sold or support cases worked on.
Use Case: Value Transport
Application:
Improve the service level provided to a large banking group, making cash transport and counting more efficient and increasing security standards.
Barcode reading, GPS positioning and the collection of other information with regards to the transaction. There is also the possibility provided that the bank contact person can digitally sign directly on a tablet to confirm the transaction.

Alice decides to go when the traffic is back to normal.
Alice starts the travel to work. Today she travels by car.
Back in the car a road work generates an alternative route that saves 10 minutes in travel time.
Alice gets information about a heavy queue on the route to work.
Alice receives information about a train incident causing a delays and is adviced to shift the travel in time.
Back home Alice receives a summary of travel duration and CO2 emission compared to the normal day.
Alice asks for multimodal rerouting alternatives and chooses a commuter parking to switch to train.
The choice of travel mode is privately stored and potentially anonymously shared for participatory sensing
Alice navigates to a free parking spot.

6. Consider how many different systems need to interact for this solution…
Is this a “vertical” solution, or an “open” solution?
What is the difference between the notion of “Solution Application” & “Service”

7. What are the “requirements” to call a city Smart?
Need at least 5 of the 8 here:
Frost & Sullivan:
“Strategic Opportunity Analysis of the Global Smart City Market”

10. Requirements:
Have the technology foundation to enable the interconnectivity between different activities of life
Have sufficient understanding about the different city aspects (health, transport, governance, etc.)
Have the necessary infrastructure for providing and supporting “smart” applications
Be reliable, environmentally friendly and sustainable, secure and safe
Engage all relevant stakeholders (local/regional government, service providers, citizens)

13. A few thoughts on the Internet of Things
“Billions/trillions of smart objects will communicate…” Mismatch in perception?
In 2010 according to ITU these were 5 billion mobile subscriptions, with 1 million being mobile broadband
“Smart phones” have multiple wireless interfaces, and include other sensor devices like GPS, accelerometers, gyroscopes…
We can easily postulate a double billion figure for all these devices that were/are connected via the mobile network
Operators manage and operate this -- So where is the problem?

14. Today, all business models assume a certain average revenue per user (ARPU)
The sum of all revenues will reach a boundary that is related to a certain percentage of the GDP of societies
Whatever this limit is, the only way to increase the number of devices and objects will be to significantly lower the costs per unit
capital expenses (CAPEX) for developing, manufacturing and deploying the devices and the supporting infrastructure
operational expenses (OPEX) for operating them

15. What about the citizen? Transparency and participation
Environmental sustainability
Social sustainability
Financial sustainability
Advanced services for citizens
Pervasive technologies
Climate/energy sustainability

16. Environmental sustainability
Weather monitoring
Environmental conditions
Pollution maps
Energy-efficient housing
Power grids
Efficient transportation
Unified communications

17. Social sustainability
Citizen coaching.
Scheduling and using facilities.
Elder/disabled monitoring and care.
Information Lifecycle Management.
Security and safety.

18. Quality of Life Automated procedures (i.e. Home automation)
Better transportation systems (avoid congestions)
Smart parking
Better access to healthcare, early disease detection/prevention
Better environmental monitoring – know where there is pollution, what areas to avoid, etc.
safety/security, crime reduction
Waste management
Noise urban maps
Structural health

19. Putting the citizen on the scene
Participation can largely improve how cities are managed
From a social perspective, citizen involvement aims at promoting social cohesion and reinforcing relations within the city.
Citizen involvement aims to be critical, participation is indeed a way to allow citizens to make choices that count.
Citizens are the center of attention of smart cities
Without the citizens’ involvement (direct or indirect) there is no need to invest in smart city technologies – they are the end users !

20. How? Use citizens mobile devices to collect data Data can be either
automatically captured by the device’s sensors (i.e. location, RSSI, noise levels, vitals, etc.)
manually captured by the user (images, audio, etc.)
Users can manually submit information about city problems
Data can be objective (gathered from devices) or subjective (citizens’ opinion)

21. How? Crowdsourcing Using sensors deployed by citizens
Sensor platforms are low-cost
Can exponentially increase city-wide deployment of sensor devices with minimum cost
Applications:
Environmental monitoring (weather conditions)
Smart grid
Air pollution
EMF

22. Provide (non-sensitive) data to be publicly available
Citizens
Companies
Public administrations
Open Data

23. A happy thought Playful cities Engaging the citizens through Gaming
Gamification enables objects communicating with the citizens and attract citizens’ attention (and steers action) towards desired behaviours!
Encourage citizens to provide feedback about city problems through Q&As within games
Make the cities a more “fun place to live”
Examples?
Hello Lamp Post! (interacting with objects through SMS)
Sing a little song (tweeting digital songbirds)
Jolly Brolly mystery (solving “crimes” with an umbrella)
