“…Recently, several universities borrowed the smart city concept at the campus scale, particularly to improve the still less investigated O&M phase and provide more satisfactory user experience and optimal resources use (De Angelis et al, 2015;Villegas-Ch et al, 2019;Lu Q et al, 2020;Ward et al, 2021). Indeed, university assets could represent a "little city in the city" with both a variety of users (e.g., students, professors, researchers, external people, facility managers, and administrative staff) and services (e.g., lecturers, courses, and seminars) (Abdullah et al, 2019), leading a highly dynamic and variable environment, which represents a complex system to manage (Naticchia et al, 2019). The presence of several heterogeneous users with different aims and schedules provides a high level of unpredictability both in standard scenarios and even more in emergency ones, when panic stresses user behavior (Naticchia et al, 2019).…”

The integrated use of building information modeling (BIM) and geographic information system (GIS) is promising for the development of asset management systems (AMSs) for operation and maintenance (O&M) in smart university campuses. The combination of BIM-GIS with cognitive digital twins (CDTs) can further facilitate the management of complex systems such as university building stock. CDTs enable buildings to behave as autonomous entities, dynamically reacting to environmental changes. Timely decisions based on the actual conditions of buildings and surroundings can be provided, both in emergency scenarios or when optimized and adaptive performances are required. The research aims to develop a BIM-GIS-based AMS for improving user experience and enabling the optimal use of resources in the O&M phase of an Italian university. Campuses are complex assets, mainly diffused with buildings spread across the territory, managed with still document-based and fragmented databases handled by several subjects. This results in incomplete and asymmetrical information, often leading to ineffective and untimely decisions. The paper presents a methodology for the development of a BIM-GIS web-based platform (i.e., AMS-app) providing the real-time visualization of the asset in an interactive 3D map connected to analytical dashboards for management support. Two buildings of the University of Turin are adopted as demonstrators, illustrating the development of an easily accessible, centralized database by integrating spatial and functional data, useful also to develop future CDTs. As a first attempt to show the AMS app potential, crowd simulations have been conducted to understand the buildings’ actual level of safety in case of fire emergency and demonstrate how CDTs could improve it. The identification of data needed, also gathered through the future implementation of suitable sensors and Internet of Things networks, is the core issue together with the definition of effective asset visualization and monitoring methods. Future developments will explore the integration of artificial intelligence and immersive technologies to enable space use optimization and real-time wayfinding during evacuation, exploiting digital tools to alert and drive users or authorities for safety improvement. The ability to easily optimize the paths with respect to the actual occupancy and conditions of both the asset and surroundings will be enabled.

A Smart Campus is a miniature of a Smart City with a more demanding framework that enables learning, social interaction and creativity. To ensure a Smart Campus uninterruptible secure operation, a key requirement is that daily routines and activities are performed protected in an environment monitored unobtrusively by a robust surveillance system. The various components that compose such an environment, buildings, labs, public spaces, smart lighting, smart parking, or even smart traffic lights, require us to focus on surveillance systems, and recognize which detection activities to establish. In this paper, we perform a comparative assessment in the area of surveillance systems for Smart Campuses. A proposed taxonomy for IoT-enabled Smart Campus unfold five research dimensions: (1) physical infrastructure; (2) enabling technologies; (3) software analytics; (4) system security; and (5) research methodology. By applying this taxonomy and by adopting a weighted scoring model on the surveyed systems, we first present the state-ofthe-art, and then we make a comparative assessment and classify the systems. We extract valuable conclusions and inferences from this classification, providing insights and directions towards required services offered by surveillance systems for Smart Campus.

“…The Smart Campus concept is an innovative testbed within Smart Cities (Cities 2.0) where human behavior can be examined thoroughly without posing operational problems on the daily schedule of city life [1]. The physical security of Internet of Things (IoT) is fundamental in a living area such as a university Smart Campus, which should be examined in more depth [2].…”

A Smart Campus is a protected area within Smart Cities (Cities 2.0) where physical security of assets is vital for the continuous operation of the university. Concretely, there are specific mission-critical areas on the campus, which should be protected from unauthorized and malicious individuals. This paper describes a sustainable Smart Campus system architecture based on individuals' spatiotemporal authentication fingerprint, generated by fusing data from mobile GPS devices and CCTV cameras infrastructure to detect malicious user behavior. The system incorporates unobtrusive monitoring to collect data from such individuals. While the system monitors for unauthorized access to restricted locations within the campus area, data are analyzed by an intrusion detection algorithm that sets off alarms and prompts physical evacuation. The efficiency of the proposed system is evaluated by gauging the prediction accuracy of alarms triggered and response time to the actual incidents on the campus. Results are promising for the adoption of the proposed system architecture by universities in Cities 2.0.
