Smart Urban

This book provides a thorough guide to building resilient cities, through the use of smart solutions enabled by information and communication technologies. It introduces innovative approaches for integrating smart solutions into urban resilience planning and offers numerous global case studies to illustrate the benefits of the theories discussed.

This book provides a preliminary critical discussion of some of the more important aspects of smart cities. Its primary focus is on the experience of some designated smart cities, with a view to problematizing a range of elements that supposedly characterize this new urban form.

With the proliferation of GPS devices in daily life, trajectory data that records where and when people move is now readily available on a large scale. As one of the most typical representatives, it has now become widely recognized that taxi trajectory data provides rich opportunities to enable promising smart urban services.

This book presents research advances in intelligent transportation and smart city in detail, mainly focusing on green traffic and urban utility tunnels, presented at the 5th International Symposium for Intelligent Transportation and Smart City (ITASC 2022) held at Tongji University, Shanghai, on May 20-21, 2022. It is also branch of the International Symposium on Autonomous Decentralized Systems (ISADS) 2023. Due to rapid development in the domain of intelligent transportation and smart city, many popular topics are included, such as the 2BMW system (Bus, Bike, Metro and Walking), transportation safety and environment protection, urban utility design and application, the application of BIM in the city design. This book collects papers with high quality, including some authoritative scholars and most experienced engineers’ latest achievements, which will provide guidance to those both in universities and entrepreneurs in the field of transportation and urban planning.

The main objective of this book is to provide a multidisciplinary overview of methodological approaches, architectures, platforms, and algorithms for the realization of an Internet of Things (IoT)-based Smart Urban Ecosystem (SUE). Moreover, the book details a set of real-world applications and case studies related to specific smart infrastructures and smart cities, including structural health monitoring, smart urban drainage networks, smart grids, power efficiency, healthcare, city security, and emergency management.
