Technology innovations for smart cities
Akira Maeda · 2012
New technologies are required in smart city applications, such as sensing, highly parallel processing, and mobile broadband communication. In this paper, it is pointed out that integration of information and control system technologies will be a key driver for smart cities, because these systems with quite different system characteristics should be integrated to realize sophisticated social infrastructure systems. Our approach will be explained with several project examples to describe the challenges and future trend of technology development.
