SMART CITY FOCUS


 The US DOT Smart City challenge has identified the core insights into the definition of the Smart City


nantly public sector focus, it is likely that the Smart City will be supported by pub- lic-private partnerships that harness the resources and motivation of the private sector in addition to the public sector.


 The much-mentioned Internet of Things along with supplementary data from mobile phones will be used to support transportation services


TRANSPORTATION GOVERNANCE SERVICES Transportation governance services within a Smart City will ensure the optimized man- agement of transportation on a multimodal basis across the whole city. This will require collaboration and coordination between public and private sector service provid- ers and involve cross mode cooperation for the management of private vehicles, transit vehicles and freight vehicles. It is likely that advanced data capture and data process- ing technologies will be used to support transportation government services. This list was drawn from the US DOT


Smart City challenge, the White House Smart City website and features insight gained through discussions with Smart City implementers. It is not an exhaustive list, but should make a good starting point towards the definition of a Smart City. So how smart is your city? You can poke it


with a stick to find out, or alternatively you can compare it to the list of services above and let us know.
