“…In this regard, by embracing the adoption of sensing mechanisms in the context of the mobility, cities will improve the quality of life of their citizens and the quality of the services offered to the whole community, also by a rationalization in the use of the city's resources [21]. In fact, the adoption of sensors allows a city (with the objective to become "smart") to set up heterogeneous and complex scenarios integrating sensors/actuators in an overall and complex "virtual environment" in turn involving Big Data, Machine Learning (ML), and further technologies and paradigms [27].…”

The ongoing diffusion of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is opening new possibilities, and one of the most remarkable applications is associated with the smart city paradigm, which is continuously evolving. In general, it can be defined as the integration of IoT and Information Communication Technologies (ICT) into city management, with the aim of addressing the exponential growth of urbanization and population, thus significantly increasing people’s quality of life. The smart city paradigm is also strictly connected to sustainability aspects, taking into account, for example, the reduction of environmental impact of urban activities, the optimized management of energy resources, and the design of innovative services and solution for citizens. Abiding by this new paradigm, several cities started a process of strong innovation in different fields (such as mobility and transportation, industry, health, tourism, and education), thanks to significant investments provided by stakeholders and the European Commission (EC). In this paper, we analyze key aspects of an IoT infrastructure for smart cities, outlining the innovations implemented in the city of Parma (Emilia Romagna region, Italy) as a successful example. Special attention is dedicated to the theme of smart urban mobility.
