Smart Cities

The IETF Internet-Draft, titled "Challenges and Opportunities in Management for Green Networking" [1], explores the environmental impact of networking and identifies strategies to make it more energy-efficient and sustainable. It highlights several key challenges, opportunities, and approaches to achieving green networking. The draft aligns well with the principles and goals of smart cities, offering solutions that support sustainability, IoT integration, resource optimization, and scalability.

Within Smart Cities Lifts, Escalators and Moving Walks are essential. Safe transportation of all users and accessibility for all is a precondition that those cities can be filled with live and all social processes are working. ISO/TC 178 covers currently 44 published documents (25 standards, 8 technical specifications and 11 technical reports), 12 documents are under development and totally 21 projects initiated. https://www.iso.org/committee/53970.html

The green digital transition is an opportunity for communities to achieve environmental sustainability, address climate change, and meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The transition leverages digital technology to enhance energy efficiency, foster circular economy, reduce emissions, and boost resilience.

My activity is to contribute to prepare the ISO/TC 204/WG 17 Intelligent transport systems document. I led the team that developed the ISO 23795-1:2022 standard. This standard specifies a method for the determination of fuel consumption and resulting CO2 emissions to enable fleet managers to reduce fuel costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a sustainable manner.

The existing Standardization Landscape, mainly related to the main 5G and T&L standardization organizations consists of:

Technical reports on:

• Balanced Wireless Crowd Charging with Mobility Prediction and Social Awareness
• Wireless Crowd Charging with Battery Aging Mitigation

With ongoing urbanisation, cities are becoming more and more of a focal point for our economies and for society at large, and their growing share of resource consumption and emissions is a major concern.  To meet public policy objectives under these circumstances, cities need to evolve, but in times of ever-tighter budgets, change needs to be achieved in a smart way.  In an increasingly-intensive knowledge economy, the needs of a city's inhabitants must not be forgotten.  We need equal treatment for citizens, and proper account taken of their accessibility, security and privacy concerns.  M

The main focus of M-Sec’s Cookbook is to introduce the M-Sec IoT security framework that has been developed by the European and Japanese consortium researchers for the past two years. Therefore, it presents techniques, methods, and design and operating principles of the M-Sec solution that those researchers believe will help other IoT developers to minimize the risk of suffering critical vulnerabilities in a wide range of IoT devices.

M-Sec is an EU-Japan collaborative Project with the main goal of developing an innovative solution that ensures a more secure data transfer between stakeholders when using IoT devices and applications in hyper-connected smart cities.

In the scope of this research, the project is now conducting an online survey to all EU and Japanese citizens and stakeholders, to collect feedback on individuals use of IoT devices and applications, and their understanding of data protection regulation.

The M-Sec Project, an EU and Japanese collaboration, released a White Paper that acts as a guide to inform readers about the main IoT security issues faced nowadays and proposes concrete solutions to these problems.
