Attention is here focused on the concept that the development of smart cities can also be achieved by improving the efficiency of civil infrastructures through a real-time monitoring. This is the specific target of the European Union FP7 project (SPARTACUS), moved from the parallel chance to develop industry pull applications for the European EGNOS and GALILEO satellite systems. In this paper, laboratory tests are carried out to provide specific devices the ability to run while satisfying the requirements of the incoming GALILEO system. Moreover, some of the targets are achieved within the current GPS system. An extensive experimental campaign is offered to validate the units in such a scenario. Keywords: smart cities, asset tracking, security, positioning, data transmission, GNSS

Conflict Resilience Framework for Critical Infrastructure Peacebuilding

“…Damaged assets can be identified systematically during the conflict to generate meaningful data and documentation of infrastructure condition, for example by monitoring damage using standoff techniques (e.g. satellite imagery) (Witmer, 2015;Casciati et al, 2017) and other technologies (Weir et al, 2019;Argyroudis et al, 2022;Knoth et al, 2018) and use of available maps and geospatial analysis to better design recovery of affected cities (Cariolet et al, 2019;Levin et al, 2018). The deployment of satellite imagery and social media crowdsourcing for assessing infrastructure disruptions has been extensively investigated in the past in the context of natural disasters (Kryvasheyeu et al, 2016;Imran et al, 2013;Chen & Hutchinson, 2007) and environmental impact (Arturo Mendez Garzón & Valánszki, 2020) or location and extent of building damage as a result of conflicts (Boloorani et al, 2021).…”

Smart City Concept for Integrated Citizen Information Smart Card or ICISC in DKI Jakarta

“…How development of industrial applications for satellite systems to provide the ability to run civil systems with the aim of developing cities to demonstrate that a city that is driven has a quality of life and safety for its citizens. The target to be achieved in this system is extensive experimental validation of unit scenarios [7].…”
