Building sustainable cities is a major factor nowadays. In this context, the advent of technologies such as GPS (Global Positioning System) and GIS (Geographical Information Systems) enables to better address the relationship between urban form and people travel behaviour. Spatial and temporal data can be collected at once, giving an insight into the actual movement
pattern of people. In this paper we make a contribution to the existing literature in mobility and urban studies by
comparing a series of GIS-based neighbourhood indicators with the actual people travel behaviour detected by GPS survey. Information about built environment characteristics is retrieved by OpenStreetMap and other datasets. 10 different neighbourhoods in The Netherlands are compared and in the end the main features that characterize efficient
neighbourhoods in terms of sustainable mobility patterns are identified.

and autonomous vehicle phenomenon around us such as smart cars, auto driving system, etc. Some of automotive industries are already producing smart cars. However, the main concern of this paper is on the infrastructure for intelligent vehicles, which can support such intelligent transportation. Current transportation system lacks proper infrastructure to support intelligent vehicles. Hence in this article, we have surveyed and analysed the current transportation system in developed and developing countries. In contrast, we are going to introduce secure intelligent transportation (roadside) infrastructure that is user centric (Driver, Autonomous driver etc.) for Intelligent vehicles. In
this paper we present the basic requirements of safety engineering infrastructure of roadside infrastructure in ITS for Intelligent vehicles. Intelligent vehicles has network infrastructure to communicate with vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I), lane correction system, and traffic information system etc. The Intelligent vehicle is a good model for learning demands of infrastructure for ITS process because the system having many use-cases and we must understand relationship between public institutions, people, companies in order to proceed ITS System.

Abstract:
In this paper, we explore technologies for low power wide area networks (LPWAN) serving the Internet of Things (IoT). These networks are ded-icated to long-range and low-speed communication to ensure a good autonomy up to 10 years and a budget link up to tens of kilometers.

Things (IoT). These networks are ded-icated to long-range and low-speed communication to ensure a good autonomy up to 10 years and a budget link up to tens of kilometers. The performance of two LPWA technologies is investigated, where the well known LoRa and Sigfox technologies are evaluated according to their sensitivity to the interference and the impact of the spreading spectrum technique on the receptor sensitivity. Numerical results are presented and discussed.

design. It begins by studying the propagation of sound in order to determine and extract the physical parameters that direct this propagation. Then it deals with the formalism of cellular automata and their relation to the specification of physical phenomena with discrete events, such as sound propagation. Then, this technique (cellular automata) is used in a smart city context, to model the propagation of sound, taking into account buildings and other various city obstacles. An implementation is made in CUDA, to simulate this phenomenon on shapefile cards. This work ends with the determination of the sound power in a given location and the geographic area covered by the sound wave.

This involves infrastructure development and design of vehicles equipped with intelligent modules, which provide the control ability. Along with it, the transition to “green”, safe and sustainable modes of transport, such as bicycle, should be realized. The widespread use of environmentally friendly bicycles
is constrained by a number of reasons. The first is the absence of models designed for physically untrained people and the second is that almost half of all deaths on the world’s roads are among pedestrians and cyclists. We propose to solve these problems in two ways: development of an information system for bicycle infrastructure planning and modelling and creating
control system of Smart Bike with adaptive electric drive that turns on when it’s necessary. Functional requirements for the proposed control system, its algorithm and the conceptual scheme of interaction between system’s modules are presented in the article.

Scope

Smart Cities are transforming our urban life with digital technologies, offering new citizen-centric public services, optimizing the usage of resources and reducing the impact of service provisioning on the environment. Cities are too big to ignore, they are at the core of our work and leisure live…

Regarding key fundamental dynamics and mobility issues, many cities continue to grow in world-wide while demographic aging will also create pressure of the costs of running staff-intensive mobility infrastructure. It is necessary to improved performance in basic city management areas starting from smart and sustainable mobility, traffic and road networks, to transport systems, but also considering street cleaning to water management, to sustainable energy and affordable low carbon environments.

Generally, a smart city combines legacy networks and new communication architectures in order to achieve compatibility and interoperability among public administrations, operators, companies and population. Then, it goes beyond the use of ICT to provide new advanced services in diverse business and technological domains, such as urban transports, water supply, disposal facilities, lightning, heat buildings and so on. To this aim, the integration of information and communication systems, sensors and data analytics over different systems and infrastructures of a city is necessary.
