The paper deals with the definition of urban mobility, assuming that inside the city, the flow of mobility is deeply connected with the distribution, quality and use of the urban activities that “polarize” different users (residents, commuters, tourists and city users). In this vision, ICT assume a strategic role, but the need to reconsider their role emerges in respect to the concept of a smart city...
The smart campus framework that is currently available does not fully suit African universities, there is a need to develop a framework that will be more suitable for African universities. It is often found that the framework used in European universities is modified to suit African universities. To address this need a South African university was used as a case study and the results show the strength...
The digital transformation of cities towards Smart Cities proposes many opportunities, e.g., related to services, security, waste and energy management, and infrastructure management. These opportunities come with manifold innovation challenges, not only from a technological perspective but also for public authorities and citizens. The paper at hand introduces conceptual modeling as a means towards...
The continued development of traditional education environments into smart ones is gaining tremendous speed with the rapid advances in technology. This paper explores the importance of immersive learning environment as an educational infrastructure for smart cities. It discusses the requirements for the smart city and suggests a bi-directional link between the physical environment and the immersive...
There are lots of information resources in the process of building smart city, and how to develop these resources is one of the urgent problems to be solved. Taking Pingxiang as a case, the paper proposed a mechanism for the value-added development of government information resources in smart city, by exploring the design and optimization of the government information resources value-added development...
Cape Town is facing increased urbanisation, urban growth and other complex challenges which hinder its objectives regarding socio-economic development and quality of life for all its' citizens and visitors. To help meet these challenges, Cape Town is implementing “smart city” innovations. The smart city concept has typically been associated with an urban area where technology is embedded everywhere...
With the development of concept and practice, which includes strategy of "smart of the earth", smart of city and smart public services, human society going into a smart times. In the severe employment situation, the pressure of employment has been intensified on university students, Chinese universities should also follow the development of the times, thinking about the new ways and ideas...
A bottom-up approach to smart cities places citizens in an active role of contributing, analysing and interpreting data in pursuit of tackling local urban challenges and building a more sustainable future city. This vision can only be realised if citizens have sufficient data literacy skills and experience of large, complex, messy, ever expanding data sets. Schools typically focus on teaching data...
Sustainability has been an important topic in UK schools for some time, most notably since the Sustainable School Strategy was proposed by the UK Department for Education (DFES) in 2006. However, as smart city technologies emerge and show real promise in contributing to a more sustainable future, it is becoming apparent that new skills for working with the big urban data sets that drive these innovations...
The term smart city is a fuzzy concept, not well defined in theoretical researches nor in empirical projects. Several definitions, different from each other, have been proposed. However, all agree on the fact that a Smart City is an urban space that tends to improve the daily life (work, school,) of its citizens (broadly defined). This is an improvement from different points of view: social, political,...
We have developed a simulator for evaluating changes in travel quality experienced during travel in multi-modal transit systems. The simulator has a new behavior model for users of multimodal systems that includes changes of user satisfaction, route and mode choices during travel, and interaction with on-line route guidance. This paper proposes a method for implementing user behavior models based...
In this paper, we have extended the “data in the cloud” approach to the “knowledge in the cloud” paradigm. The knowledge cloud model represents an ideal solution for on-demand KaaS on the cloud platform. The design framework for public knowledge service platform previously proposed by the authors can be smoothly migrated into the cloud environment as explained in this paper. The knowledge cloud is...
