Integration of the Infrastructure of Systems Used in Smart Cities for the Planning of Transport and Communication Systems in Cities

Abstract

Modern mobility and adaptation of transport and communication systems to the requirements of the inhabitants are both inseparable elements of the developed concept of smart cities. One of the important stages in the implementation of this concept is the planning stage, taking into account the complexity and a large number of determinants that impact the effectiveness of decisions related to the planning of transport, communication and logistic systems. The purpose of the article is to lay out a model of a system based on the integration of selected Internet of Things tools used in smart cities to support urban development planning processes in the scope of the ongoing modification of transport, public communication and logistic systems. The model was developed on the basis of the cooperation between the authors and the boards of selected cities’ observations made during the authors’ travels and on the basis of identification and analysis of IT systems types and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) tools in use within the smart city concept. The need to integrate IoT tools in support of the smart city concept resulted from the synthesis of previous research experience and the existing gap between the capabilities and the scope of applications of the tools in discussion. The results of the analysis allowed to develop a procedure that in an automated way allows to improve the communication, transport and logistics order in the area of interested cities.

Introduction to the Minitrack on Business Intelligence and Big Data for Innovative, Collaborative and Sustainable Development of Organizations in Digital Era

“…De Falco et al underline the fact that as far as the notion of a smart city is concerned it embraces "toolkit of technological solutions and policy interventions aimed at implementing urban technologies to monitor urban systems and improve their efficacy through real-time monitoring and big data analytics" (De Falco et al, 2019). It can be confirmed that "smart cities are an example of how the use of IoT will help make objects smart via a combination of devices, sensors, electronic tags and advanced communication networks" (Stępniak et al 2021).

Health, Technology And Built Environment Nexus: A Systematic Literature Review

“…The overarching goal is to create urban environments that not only harness technological advancements for operational efficiency but also prioritise the well-being of residents by promoting sustainability, connectivity, and overall livability. The synergy between technology and urban planning thus becomes a key driver in shaping cities that are not only smart but also resilient, inclusive, and conducive to the flourishing of vibrant communities (Gracias et al, 2023;Hui et al, 2023;Stępniak et al, 2021).…”

A framework for integrating intelligent transportation systems with smart city infrastructure

“…Songdo has also introduced a self-driving bus service that uses autonomous vehicles to transport passengers around the city. The city's ITS system is used to manage traffic, parking, and energy consumption (Richter et al, 2020;Stępniak et al, 2021).…”
