Energy Management in Smart Cities

Efficient Energy Management for Internet of Things in Smart Cities

The drastic increase in urbanization over the past few years requires sustainable, efficient, and smart solutions for transportation, governance, environment, quality of life, etc. The Internet of Things (IoT) offers many sophisticated and ubiquitous applications for smart cities. The energy demand of IoT applications is increased, while the IoT devices continue to grow in both numbers and thei...

Big data, smart cities and city planning

I define big data with respect to its size but pay particular attention to the fact that the data I am referring to is urban data, that is, data for cities that are invariably tagged to space and time. I argue that this sort of data are largely being streamed from sensors, and this represents a sea change in the kinds of data that we have about what happens where and when in cities. I describe ...

Tailoring the next Generation Energy Management Tool for Smart Cities

In this position paper we propose a next generation eNeRGy management solution for smart cities based on the Internet of ThingsIoT NRG Manager, to efficiently manage the energy locally produced and consumed. IoT NRG Manager is interoperable with the Internet of Things, it provides an Open Data API that allows third parties to access to energy related data. The privacy issues are addressed by a ...

Predictive Trip Planning - Smart Routing in Smart Cities

Smart route planning gathers increasing interest as cities become crowded and jammed. We present a system for individual trip planning that incorporates future tra c hazards in routing. Future tra c conditions are computed by a Spatio-Temporal Random Field based on a stream of sensor readings. In addition, our approach estimates tra c flow in areas with low sensor coverage using a Gaussian Proc...
