Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to present a systemic view of the issue of smart cities (Smart Cities) so that the resources used (land takeover, energy, etc.) are minimized and existing infrastructure (transport, energy, data, etc.) is maximized. The course will describe the sub-components of smart cities (intelligent transport systems, smart grids, smart buildings, smart lighting, e-governance, etc.) and will show the methodology of their mutual integration according to existing standards so that synergies between individual sectors occur and a reasonable quality of life is achieved for all categories of city residents. Emphasis will be placed on the resilience of cities, for example to natural disasters or terrorist attacks.

Introduction to the issue of smart and resilient cities (historical development, basic terminology, organizations dealing with the issue of smart cities and their contribution to the development of the whole field)

System description of a smart and resilient city (functional and information architecture, identification of sub-components, interface specifications, definition of strong processes, technical standards - CEN, ISO, IEEE, etc.)

Smart city data platform (data collection, transmission and processing, sensor networks, Internet of Things - IoT, ontological data model of smart city, open data, sample of existing data platforms of cities)

Smart city hall (data-driven decision-making, creation of the city's knowledge base, simulation models of strong city processes, smart tools for project preparation and management, including participatory models for communication with citizens)

Smart buildings (sustainable buildings, BEMS - building energy management systems, BAS - building automation systems, KNX standards, BIM - building information modelling, BIM extension to CIM - city information modelling, demonstration of individual types of smart buildings - school, hospital, factory)

Smart mobility (SUMP - Sustainable urban mobility plans, MaaS - Mobility as a service, C-ITS - Cooperative intelligent transportation systems, , new types of means of transport, smart city logistics)

Smart energy (smart meters, EaaS - Energy as a service, smart grids - smart energy networks, renewable energy sources, smart appliances, smart energy storage, electromobility

Smart lighting (categorization of illuminated urban infrastructure, minimization of energy costs and maintenance costs of city lighting, lighting as the backbone communication and sensory infrastructure of a smart city, integration of lighting and other functions - SOS, charging infrastructure, camera system, etc.)

Smart street, square, district (example of integration of sub-components including evaluation of economic costs and benefits)

Resilience and security of cities (safety, security, territorial resilliency, cyber attacks, resistance to natural disasters)

Human dimension of a smart city (HMI interface, use of virtual and augmented reality, communication issues with users of smart solutions, new economic models)

Legislative issues of smart city (Personal data protection - GDPR, Intellectual Property Law - IPR, determination of liability - liability, responsibility)

Smart City Rating (Smart City Index according to ISO 37210, sample of smartness rating of individual cities)

Examples of smart city implementation (EU, China, India, Africa, USA)
