“…Geographical information system helps to reach the accident place faster. Anttiroiko (2013) also stresses the need of early warning systems for meteorology and earthquake monitoring services in order to avoid disasters and the need of ICT to monitor the condition of physical infrastructure (f. e. roads, bridges, tunnels which is very important as condition of present infrastructure is not adequate to rapidly growing demand).…”

Academic scholars agree that increasing urbanization and intensive technological progress raises new issues in urban development trends. This paper defines the characteristics of future city and analyses the specifics and role of infrastructure in it. Future city development is based no more on infrastructure growth but on its effectiveness and quality which may be achieved only by installing newest technologies and implementing strategic management.

“…Anttiroiko (2013) presents examples of South Korea how ubiquitous infrastructure was built: ICT was applied in transportation in order to assure real-time communication and to avoid traffic congestions. Future city transportation is also oriented to use more alternative vehicles as bicycles, electric cars, etc.…”

The current social impact of new technologies has produced major changes in all areas of society, creating the concept of a smart city supported by an electronic infrastructure, telecommunications and information technology. This paper presents a review of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), Near Field Communication (NFC) and Visible Light Communication (VLC) and their use and influence within different areas of the development of the smart city. The document also presents a review of Big Data Solutions for the management of information and the extraction of knowledge in an environment where things are connected by an “Internet of Things” (IoT) network. Lastly, we present how these technologies can be combined together to benefit the development of the smart city.

“…Big ICT companies like IBM, Cisco or Telekom provide IT solutions for cities who put their investments in 'smart city' development projects in order to promote their 'smart', 'sustainable' and 'green' nature. At the same time social researchers are more critical about these oversimplified computational solutions to social problems (Anttiroiko, A.V. 2013(Anttiroiko, A.V.…”

In recent urban geography literature, smart cites became a fashionable subject. The smart city paradigm is strongly connected to researches based on big data. The main objective of this paper is to strengthen the idea of usefulness of big data in examining and developing the urban transportation system as part of smart cities. In this pilot research, Google Maps traffic estimation data were used to evaluate the special vehicular traffic flows in District 3, in Budapest. On 45 defined road sections, travel time estimation data were collected with the aim to calculate the extent of wasted time in traffic jams. According to our results this source of 'big data' is a feasible way of conducting 'smart' research on a city road system. The most relevant advantage of this database is that it is continually generated on a high spatial and temporal resolution. The conclusion of this pilot research is that spatial and temporal inequalities are evincible from this database, unrecognized processes can be easily analysed, which can help urban planners to rethink their strategies on urban transport system. The most important findings showed that, on workdays, there is a second wave of peak traffic on many roads, and, within our chosen district, there are congestion hot spot places. It is important to note that Google Maps data have limits, but by understanding them this method is a useful way for geographers to examine urban traffic congestion patterns with a high spatial resolution.
