Towards Smart Cities

What is happening in our cities?

Megatrend: sustainable transformation of technical systems

3 main transformations of technical systems are impacting upon our cities

• Technological changes in multiple sectors

• Increasing rate of change

• Merging of separate sectors

When we speak of Smart Cities, we are addressing:

• Municipality and services to the citizen

• Public and Private mobility

• Safety of citizens and assets

• Territory monitoring (hydrogeological risk,…)

• Energy and Building Management

• Communications

• Security of IT services and Data

• Logistics and distribution of goods

• Management of Events (sport, cultural,…)

• ……

We are moving from Vertical models towards Horizontal models which

support vertical applications, as already happened in Civil and Military

The architectural approach

Four main technical guidelines:

• Vertical applications related to various Smart Systems Solutions

are all based on the same Horizontal Architecture which

provides the relevant Components and Interconnections

• The Architecture is based on 3 Layers:

• Field Layer

• Integration and Skill Layer

• Presentation Layer

• Fixed and Mobile Communications support all layers

• Cyber Security is pervasive and supports all layers

Presentation Layer - Control Rooms

Skill layer - Integration and SW Components

Field Layer - Sensors and Actuators Co

The Field Layer

Each application requires the integration of sensors and subsystems

pertaining to its target.

All Sensors exchange information with the upper layer through specific

adapters in terms of information structure and content fields.

Examples of areas for technical evolution:

• Sensors for Low Voltage energy grids

• Sensing of dangerous substances

• Sensing of crowds

• Fast access control

• biometrics / facial screening

• e-identity

The Skill Layer

The Skill Layer is where all SW components are placed for:

• data analysis

• data fusion

• behavior modeling

• forecast of system evolution

• decisions in terms of suggestions towards the Presentation Layer

or direct commands to the Field Layer

All SW components interoperate through a Common Service Bus (SIF)

The Presentation Layer

The Presentation Layer provides interface towards the 4 possible “types of

users” foreseen by Agenzia per L’Italia Digitale (Humans and Machines).

The overall system should consider both:

• Components related to Real-time functions

• Components for Simulation and Planning

It must be adapted to the specific application, and often characterized by

interactivity.

In some cases we need Operation Centers and Control Rooms, in other

cases just Apps over user terminals.

Private Cloud services are preferred, but sometimes ad-hoc segregated

solutions are needed.

Communications

Fixed and Mobile Communications are the glue of all these components,

through:

• Consumer networks and services

• Private networks and services

• Integration of heterogeneous communication networks

• Device specific communications

Consumer networks guarantee communications among communities of

citizens and towards local and central government services.

Private networks guarantee secure, reliable and resilient communications for

public protection and critical infrastructures.

Integration of heterogeneous networks guarantee full interoperability among

different organizations and the extension to enabled additional users.

Devices can take advantage of consumer networks coverage, and also of

new communication means like Cognitive Radio or M-Bus

Cyber Security

Cyber security is essential if we want to develop applications and services

for Smart Cities.

We need to protect IT networks, communications, information, sensors and

Critical infrastructures from Cyber Attack. Especially solutions based on

sensors and actuators need to protect themselves (remember Stuxnet).

In the area of Cyber Security the evolution is towards:

• Cyber Security of SCADA networks

• Networks protection from Advanced Persistent Threats

• Prevention of Cyber Attacks using sophisticate analysis of

signals from the web.

Smartness and Sustainability as a common goal

In the overall scenario, various types of activities and collaboration for

Universities and Research Centers are possible.

The presence of Universities and Research Centers in the territory is an

added value both for Enterprises and for Local Government

Some examples:

- global collaborations:

• Development of SW Components

• Adaptation of sensors

• Mapping of data bases

• Study of communications and security solutions

• …..

- collaborations related to localization:

• Mapping of local information and territory data bases

• Interfaces towards available assets

• Consultancy to local administration

• Development of specific Control Rooms for local agencies

• E-Health on the territory

• Direct participation to pre-competitive local initiatives

• …...
