Abstract:Sustainable urban mobility refers to the sustainable transportation mode in terms of social, environmental, and climate impacts. Cycling has emerged as one of the most sustainable means of urban travel due to its flexibility, low costs, reduced carbon emissions, improved traffic, and mobility in cities. Vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication is becoming a reality standard. Non-motorized vehicles, such as bikes, are expected to participate in V2V and Vehicle-To-Everything (V2X) networking alongside cars and tru… Show more
“…Smart transportation networks, in particular, can better serve the public by improving the safety, speed, and reliability for local and international accessibility [29]. Information and communication technologies from modern and sustainable transportation systems help consumers plan their schedules and find the cheapest and fastest routes using transportation-oriented mobile applications [30]. Driver's passports, license recognition systems, car parking searching, and prediction are typical applications in smart mobility facilities [31].…”
A smart city is where existing facilities and services are enhanced by digital technology to benefit people and companies. The most critical infrastructures in this city are interconnected. Increased data exchange across municipal domains aims to manage the essential assets, leading to more automation in city governance and optimization of the dynamic offered services. However, no clear guideline or standard exists for modeling these data flows. As a result, operators, municipalities, policymakers, manufacturers, solution providers, and vendors are forced to accept systems with limited scalability and varying needs. Nonetheless, it is critical to raise awareness about smart-city cybersecurity and implement suitable measures to safeguard citizens’ privacy and security because cyber threats seem to be well-organized, diverse, and sophisticated. This study aims to present an overview of cyber threats, attacks, and countermeasures on the primary domains of smart cities (smart government, smart mobility, smart environment, smart living, smart healthcare, smart economy, and smart people). It aims to present information extracted from the state of the art so policymakers can perceive the critical situation and simultaneously be a valuable resource for the scientific community. It also seeks to offer a structural reference model that may guide the architectural design and implementation of infrastructure upgrades linked to smart city networks.

“…In the smart city region, authors of [39] proposed a Bi2Bi wireless communication system in different urban scenarios and integrated it into the smart city. The data exchange in the proposed system is based on LPWAN technologies, specifically ZigBee.…”
In recent years, with the spread of IoT services and the amount of data on the network, the importance of D2D communications has emerged in unloading the network, reducing data access time, and improving performance. Due to this importance, in this article, we have reviewed the latest D2D communication solutions in the recent period. Authors proposed categorizing D2D communication solutions into six categories: M2M, V2V, and D2D in cellular networks, D2D with a caching assistant, D2D in socially aware networks, and D2D based on ICN. Writers examined the proposed solutions in each area, elaborating on the methodology employed, the evaluation, the benefits and drawbacks of each proposal. Moreover, based on the study of the presented solutions, we feel that cellular networks and ICN are the most effective for D2D communications, particularly when awareness and social relationships are incorporated into them. We believe that the review presented in this paper will be useful sufficient for developers, researchers as a reference guide to facilitate the design and implementation of D2D communication solutions.
“…Paralelo aos modelos comerciais, verificam-se propostas de projetos para construção de plataformas IoT para aluguel de bicicletas, com aplicações locais ou implementação em ambientes urbanos [17]- [22]. De modo geral, os projetos apresentam uma solução em hardware dedicada à implementação da plataforma que retém a bicicleta [17].…”
Resumo-Este trabalho apresenta o desenvolvimento de uma plataforma IoT (Internet of things) para aluguel compartilhado de bicicletas como um solução sustentável para mobilidade em ambientes urbanos. A plataforma é composta por uma eletrônica de hardware para ancoragem de bicicletas, um aplicativo móvel para interação do usuário com o serviço, um banco de dados para armazenamento de informações e um servidor Broker baseado no protocolo MQTT (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport) para gerenciamento da comunicação entre as demais entidades. Como forma de incentivo ao uso, emprega-se um sistema de cash back implementado no aplicativo por meio de uma carteira digital.
