Smart City As Unified Multi-tier IoT Solution
Increased Smart City IQ
• Generation 1: local management systems (e.g. traffic lights synchronization)
• Generation 2: vertical scaling of management systems (e.g. situation center for traffic control)
• Generation 3: integrated citywide systems (e.g. automatically providing a green corridor for emergency vehicles)
• Generation 4: unified system development by city councils and citizens (e.g. automatic excessive energy sales from households to utility line)

What Has Industrial IoT to Do with It?
• Smart city is a perfect playground where diverse “things” can intercommunicate now
• Technically, Industrial IoT is generally associated with new physical layer transmission standards (e.g. LPWA) and new protocols (e.g. MQTT)
• None of these is revolutionary, it’s logical technological evolution
• Machine Learning is expected to have game-changing potential

Smart City As IoT System
• On the object level, there is nothing out of the ordinary: “things” are controllers with sensors and end devices connected to those controllers
• On a higher level, whole systems become “things” (e.g. traffic control system can receive orders from the Public Safety Answering Point for providing a green corridor)
• Tasks carried out by “things” get a great deal more complicated as structured data exchange is required

Example: Engineering Systems Monitoring (ESM)
• Object level. In fact, it’s a simple SCADA system with strictly typed incidents (alerts).
• Regional level. On this level, every critical object and its local ESM system are “things”.
• Federal level. In this case, a «thing» is a whole region and its regional ESM system.

Problem of Implementing Standards in Russia
- 6 -
• Vital IoT problem in Russia is frequent disregard of foreign standards and the best world practices
• Example: CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) is widely used around the globe for warning various municipal services of natural disasters and man-caused emergencies
• CAP allows governmental services to exchange information immediately, e.g., in case of tsunami or terror threats
• CAP isn’t applicable for ESM systems, which causes technical complexity of using new systems as object-level ESM
• The problem is relevant not only to Russia. Lack of interoperability or standards is the first reason why Industrial Internet development is suppressed (Industrial Internet of Things: Unleashing the Potential of Connected Products and Services, Accenture, Industry Agenda of the World Economic Forum, 2015)
Unified Smart City: Architecture
- 7 -
• Level 1 “thing”: local building system controller (e.g. access control or Wi-Fi networks) and local autonomous system controller (e.g. traffic lights on the square)
• Level 2 “thing”: controlling server and building monitoring server (e.g. disabling ventilation and unlocking turnstiles upon receipt of security and fire alarm system signals)
• Level 3 “thing”: Electronic Public Utilities Service Provider server (serviced by an operator, it collects data on active incidents from building servers and creates repair requests)
• Level 4 “thing”: regional situation center server coordinating work of municipal and administration company systems
Urban IoT

Definition: communication infrastructure providing unified, easy, and effective way of accessing multiple public services.*
Aims:
• Increase the comfort level in urban environment
• Improve economic indicators of Smart City systems
Implementation area: any services related to physical assets.

Smart and Safe City. What’s the Difference?
- 10 -
• Brief answer: no difference
• Safe City is one of the development branches, such as, for instance, Green (energy-efficient) City
• Safe City systems exchange data with all other Smart City systems
• Multiple systems serve several duties (e.g., traffic surveillance system)
