The challenge for the development of Smart City Concept in Bratislava based on examples of smart cities of Vienna and Amsterdam

Abstract

A smart city in general is a very wide socioeconomic urban technical phenomenon that inherently represents an increase certain quality of the urban environment and organism. It is not only a technical and technological level of development of infrastructure of a city, but constitutes mainly intellectual maturity and awareness of all stakeholders of the urban organism. Topic of Smart Cities is gaining exponentially in importance, as the socioeconomic and demographic changes creating new trends, needs, requirements and challenges for existing urban areas, inner urban processes and their management. There are already a number of applied strategies, which proves the efficiency and sustainability of the solutions. In this contribution authors are trying to outline the problematic areas of Bratislava to achieve Smart City concept, whereby they take inspiration from the neighbouring city of Vienna and Amsterdam, which in turn are considered as some of the top smart cities in Europe.

The “ReadyPark” Collaborative Parking Search Strategy

“…Beyond the numerous previous works in the field of urban parking modelling requiring infrastructures based on sensors or cameras [9,10,[13][14][15][16], many works deal with specific issues that need to take into account particular characteristics such as giver/taker agreement [23], knowledge of places availability [21], giver/taker asymmetry [20], smart parking availability [13], outdoor/indoor parking [17], private/public parking, free/paid parking, etc. All these approaches therefore differ from the present work which, on the contrary, proposes a purely software solution supported by a parsimonious modelling approach dedicated to city community members searching and leaving public on-street parking spots with giver/taker symmetrical role.…”

“…By using numerical experiments, the authors show how the proposed sharing parking strategy makes use of private resources to benefit the community. Popular applications based on this principle are now available such as JustPark [13] or MobyPark [21].…”

Evaluation of Frameworks for MLOps and Microservices

“…These main applications can be used within the context of Smart Cities, solving problems and achieving goals. In the context of Smart Cities, it is possible to find works related to the topic encompass both a conceptual approach and practical aspects in [3], [4].…”

Towards an IoT-Based System for Monitoring of Pipeline Leakage in Clean Water Distribution Networks

“…Some of them have been focused on developing algorithms for detecting and estimating leakage models and integrating them into a water distribution network hydraulic model. Consequently, a lot of CAD software has been proposed to detect the location and compute the leakage quantities of water for solving the network leakage flows [6][7][8][9][10]. On the other hand, there are some others focused on pipeline leak detection technology based on optical fiber sensing technology and a proposed algorithm for pipeline leakage detection [11].…”
