- Cityaction a smart-city platform architecturePublication . Martins, Pedro; Albuquerque, Daniel; Wanzeller, Cristina; Caldeira, Filipe; Tomé, P.; Sá, FilipeFast population growth in cities and surrounding regions force cities to become smarter to have a sustainable economy, social quality, and environmental well-being. Smart-Cities will be the ones using information and communication technologies to make cities services more efficient (in performance and cost), interactive, and aware of events. For a city to become smarter, it needs to make use of emerging technologies related with Internet-of-Things (IoT), not only to collect information and interact (actuate, command, control) but also to provide services for analytics and other applications. In this paper, is researched the concept of smart-city in the context of the project CityAction, tested on the city of Castelo Branco, Portugal. This project focuses on the relationship between IoT, monitoring, actuating and displaying data. Based on collected data from sensors spread across the city, the proposed project aims to make “smart” decisions to optimize resources, cost, well living, and environmental impact. Results introduce an architecture to integrate multiple heterogeneous sensors, develop a dashboard able of displaying data in a user-friendly way, and making this information available to population and users through a mobile app. This mechanism makes possible to infer better decisions on the city management/behavior and put in place the needed mechanisms to improve response time, safety and well living.
