A fuzzy rule-based and energy-efficient method for estimating the free size of parking places in smart cities is proposed. In particular, the estimation is the output value of a fuzzy inference system (FIS) which was implemented on each wireless sensor mote (WSM) of a wireless sensor network (WSN) placed in the ground below the parking places and it was observed that it requires 8.9 Kbytes and 5 Kbytes...
The intention of a Smart City concept is among other things to increase the energy efficiency of a city. Typically addressed topics are energy management or urban traffic management. Up to now Information and Communication Technology (ICT) measures within a Smart City to increase energy efficiency in public lighting have not been considered in detail. The paper presents an approach of an intelligent...
Many smart city lighting applications require information about the location of light poles, in particular about which light poles are neighbors along the street with respect to passing traffic. This paper addresses the problem of deriving the topology of light poles in a smart city, relying only on the data gathered from Passive Infrared Sensors attached to the light poles. A statistical algorithm...
Nowadays, logistics could make you purchase a book in Amazon and delivering it in 24-hours using a service from a logistics operator or a transport company. In a more complex scenario, an order could be traveling around the globe, passing from hand to hand between unknown actors for months. In most cases the client would not be notified in a proper way. But first of all, what does client means? In...
The paper addresses the emerging need of providing urban managers with tools for energy governance of smart cities. We present the architecture of a decision support system called Urban Control Center (UCC). The UCC measures the city energy performance and supports the decision maker in determining the optimal action plan for implementing smartness strategies in the city energy governance. To this...
