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. Furthermore, partial technologies used in solving the issue of smart cities will be presented from the point of view of basic principles, conditions of use and possibilities of integration into superstructure components.

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

2. Information technology (FOG, CLOUD, IoT, satellite technology).

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

4. 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).

5. Technologies for description and simulation of processes (transport, energy, environment) including virtual and augmented reality (software tools, examples of use).

6. Smart mobility (SUMP - Sustainable urban mobility plans, MaaS - Mobility as a service, C-ITS - Co-operative intelligent transportation systems, nové typy dopravních prostředků, chytrá city logistika).

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

8. Smart lighting (categorization of illuminated urban infrastructure, minimization of energy costs and maintenance costs of urban 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.) .

9. System integration of sub-components of smart city (tools for system integration - SysML, ASN.1, MAS).

10. Smart street, square, district (example of integration of partial components including evaluation of economic costs and benefits).

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

12. Legislative issues of smart city (Personal data protection - GDPR, Intellectual property law - IPR, determination of liability - liability, responsibility).

13. Smart city rating (Smart City Index according to ISO 37210, example of smartness rating of individual cities).

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