Assistive Systems for Mobility in Smart City: Humans and Goods

Abstract

Nowadays, the society is highly intelligent, and smart city has become the common expectation of people. Smart city is a large concept, which includes smart home, Smart Transportation, Smart public, Service and Social management, smart Urban Management and other aspects. This paper mainly discusses the problem of the mobility in cities. The mobility in cities can be divided into two categories in practice, namely, the movement of humans and the movement of goods. In this paper, we enumerate the typical cases in the mobility of humans and goods, and analyze the operation principle of these cases one by one. Some of these examples are implemented, some are not. In order to make urban mobility "smart", we propose a framework of assistive system, which has a four-tier structure and uses big data, cloud computing, AI, deep learning and other technologies. It is aimed at a variety of different scenes, to provide users with the most thoughtful advice and the most humanized service, to solve the problem of urban mobility

Assistive Systems for Special Mobility Needs in the Coastal Smart City

“…Of course, this list is not complete and has been voluntarily limited to mobility aspects. We could continue to add other aspects and, in particular, reexamine our propositions from the view of special adjustment to disabled people, as we have already done in our previous papers [17,18].…”

“…We also avoided the problem of assistance to disabled people, which we studied in our previous publications [17,18], in which we presented several solutions applicable in Smart Cities and that can be transposed easily to this context. Of course, new solutions, specific to the coastal context (beaches, sea, harbor, boats) can be proposed.…”

Design Methodology for "Smartification" of Cities: Principles and Case Study

“…We voluntarily limited our study to mobility aspects and avoided two very important problems, namely adaptation of cities during "smartification" to the elderly and, in particular, to disabled people. We partially studied this last aspect in the following publications [18], [19]. We did not have room to present an important aspect, namely dynamicity in all presented (re)organizations, which can be permanent (available all the time) or evolving according to the time scale (each month, week, day, weekdays, weekend, morning, afternoon, evening, night, per hour or in unpredictable exceptions).…”
