IoT for Smart Cities

Today’s cities face a variety of challenges, including job creation,economic growth, environmental sustainability, and socialresilience. Internet is critical to future city-planning processes.

Global Scenario

4

Smart Cities will host 1.1 billion connected things worldwide this year, doubling to 2.6 billion by 2017 (Gartner)

Connected homes will see the greatest growth with >1 billion connections in 2017, followed by commercial buildings/ transport / utilities (Gartner)

Local government investment in IoT initiatives will represent more than 25% of all government external spending in the area (GovTech)

25% of mid-size cities should have “whole-of-city” data and analytic strategies rolled out in the next three years (IDC)

Italian Scenario

In the last 3 years, 50% of Italian districts with more than 40 thousands citizens, have started at least one Smart City project *

Directives and regulations are a driving force behind smart metering gas (Required to be served at the 60% of delivery points by the end of 2018) *

More than 200 cities have just implemented smart lighting systems, representing 18% of the total Smart City value *

-4,2 billion €/y is the nationwide saving thanks to smart street lighting, smart waste collection and traffic management (achievable value) *

“Smart city” is an ecosystem of stratified different services

Smart Parking

Smart Tourism

The Internet of Things is more than a future vision; it’salready making our cities and buildings smarter today andshaping the urban environment.

Waste collection

Barcelona

Cans equipped with sensors that track the amount of garbage/smell, alerting where pick-ups are needed most and suggesting optimized collection routes

Parking

San Francisco

Sensor-enabled on-street smart parking spaces for real time assistance, special assistance for disabled people, lower time to park and lower emissions

Grid

Chattanooga

Self-healing smart grid: time to restore power pushed down to 2 secs from 17 hours, when tornadoes knocked out power

Transportation

Helsinki

Connected devices and sensors capture traffic data, driver performance and gas usage to suggest more careful driving & improved maintenance for fuel saving

Lighting

Intelligent and weather adaptive lighting in street lights. Incorporating connected controls to the Internet for additional savings , besides switch to LED

Amsterdam, Westergasfabriek area

Building

Barhein

An hotel system that can automatically sense the presence of people in a room and control blinds, lighting and air conditioning, at the highest level of efficiency

Tourism

Florence

Framework for customizing cultural itineraries and displaying them on a mobile app according to personal interests, location or availability during the day

Tourism 2

London Heathrow

Airport toilets anonymously count how many people have used them and send alerts to cleaners after a certain number is reached

Security

17

Spain

Millions of security devices in customers’ homes and businesses, getting fire or intruder alerts and checking if alarms and batteries are working

At a time when city finances are under enormous pressure,IoT technologies provide a great opportunity to improveservices and reduce costs – by doing things differently.

Big savings

Saving that Italy could realize, in case of pervasive adoption of intelligent lighting solutions for mobility management and for collecting waste.

-4,2 billion €

Improved revenues

Average increase in parking revenue for those cities that apply smart parking techniques (parking can often be the 2°/ 3°revenue source).

+ 20/30%

Lower emissions

Reduction in emissions, equivalent to 1600 cars every year,achieved by Hampshire County Council after developing a wirelesssmart lighting control system.

-4000 tonnes CO2

Higher efficiency

Emergency response time since the launch of a new system that Rio implemented, gathering data from 30 agencies flows into 1 centralized “command center”.

-30%

Safer cities

Decrease in crime rate in the Mexico City; 8% reduction in car thefts; criminal activity down by 35%, after implementing a smart urban security system.

-80%

Making the transmission of data into useful information and services to address urban challenges is the role of IoT application platform.

National versus Local

Smart city challenges not only arise at national level but they have the highest chance of making an impact locally.

Traffic flow, parking services, street lighting, water and waste management offer tremendous opportunities for being consumed to reflect changing patterns of demand through IoT.

Public-Private Partnership

A strong public-private partnership approach is necessary, beyond silos of existing city infrastructure providers.

Look for example at how the partnership between Philips, Cisco, a real estate owner to deliver the city for Amsterdam’s lighting project has unleashed the power of smart cities opportunities.

Economies of things

Additional services can be added at minimal cost anddisruption to the existing architecture, if correctly set up.

How for example data captured for one smart service can servemultiple purposes? How the same data collection infrastructurecan be used for stratified services?

Smart platforms for smart cities

Ensuring the delivery of large amounts of data over protected, secure, and reliable infrastructures is a must for IoT platforms.

Scalability, to grow as cities and number of things grow; easy integration, with other software and multiple types of hardware; solidity, to sustain big data flows are the features required.

Smart Building Monitoring

- Energy use (for apartment/building)- Heating and cooling- Structural & Environmental- Smart Meters & Water flow

Buildings consume 42% of all electricity, more than any other physical asset

BENEFITS:- 24/7 Monitoring with real time & historical

analytics and reports- Save costs- Predictive maintenance

Smart Waste management

BENEFITS:- Optimized routes and truck usage/availability- Less fuel, time, cost- Customer satisfaction

- Measuring the temperature and the fill level of waste containers

- Fleet management system- Generating alerts, fill-up forecasts

and collection plans

Remote fill-level monitoring is set to grow at 43% CAGR between 2014 and 2020

Smart Parking management

- Real time availability of occupied and unoccupied parking spaces

- Analysis of all data related to each single parking area

- Payment systems management integration

BENEFITS:- Better use of parking areas- Increase user satisfaction- Pay&Go and reduce parking payment evasion

Drivers looking for parking can cause up to 30% of inner city traffic congestion

Smart Street Lighting

- Monitoring of street lights from one central system- Controlling programs to switch lights off/on and to vary the light based on

weather conditions- Lighting levels optimized for location / time

Street lights consume up to 35% of a cities energy budget and emits tonnes of CO2

BENEFITS:- Energy and maintenance savings- Reduced CO2 emissions- Improved safety and public service
