Description
Summary:The increasing boost in urbanization creates more issues including traffic congestion, transportation delays, vehicle pollution emissions, accidents, which affect significantly our lives. A promising solution to challenges of this emerging era, is technological innovations that improved human conditions with a wise management of natural resources. The continuous development of Internet of Things ecosystems will provide an intelligent platform to include technology in our daily lives and offer the chance to strike a balance between economic, environmental, social opportunities that will be delivered through smart city planning, design and construction. Smart city is a demonstration of the Internet of Things, in which the generated data from the sensors can be processed, combined, communicated, integrated and analysed to support some aspects of the city life to function better. In the beginning of a new era, citizens will get used to a new way of living, where everything happens instantly and tailored to their needs. In this thesis, we elucidate the concept of smart city, by defining its essential technologies, key challenges and the major components of a smart city. We present smart mobility projects enabled by the top five smartest cities around the world and we define a framework for security and privacy issues on smart parking, smart traffic control and shared vehicles.
