Model for Economic Comparison of Different Transportation Means in the Smart City

Abstract

Smart city is commonly described as "city for citizens" empowering citizen lives by implementing methods of smart economy, smart environment and smart mobility, all aimed to address such concerns as resource scarcity, air pollution, citizens health and traffic problems. These methods are usually implemented in invisible-to-citizen ways. To address previously mentioned concerns different requirements and guidelines are introduced. One of such concerns is citizens' commute, so corresponding requirements must be defined according to modern smart city goals, i.e., to be economically reasonable and beneficial, and should promote clean environment. The problems that arise are related to selection of proper transportation means for commute purposes. Aim of this paper is to propose a model for economic comparison of commute by use of different transportation means within the city taking into account person's wage.

Cost-Effectiveness Assessment of Internet of Things in Smart Cities

“…These developments, which are expected to keep happening within the next 40 years, bring great challenges and disadvantages associated with urban agglomerations. These challenges include several problems to be tackled from a policy point of view, such as resource scarcity, air pollution, decrease of citizen health, and traffic problems, among others ( 17 ). Thus, urban areas have increased their sizes, which has been made possible by a simultaneous upward shift in the urban technological frontier in order to allow cities to accommodate more inhabitants ( 18 ).…”

Mobilidade urbana no contexto de cidades inteligentes: uma análise bibliométrica e de conteúdo

“…Mobilidade urbana do ponto de vista de cidades inteligentes. Atualmente, diversas soluções em mobilidade urbana são desenvolvidas e pensadas no intuito de aliviar os problemas das cidades, quanto ao impacto do fluxo urbano com o desenvolvimento das cidades, tais como ampliação de ciclovias, melhoria de calçadas, uso de combustíveis menos poluentes, controle do impacto de novas construções nas cidades, planejamento de bairros autossuficientes e criação de corredores que incorporem diversos tipos de transporte (Guevara et al, 2019;Zacepins, Kviesis, Komasilovs, & Bumanis, 2019).…”
