Intelligence-Driven Urban Internet-of-Things Ecosystems for Trustworthy and Circular Smart Cities

DEAL-CITIES (Intelligence-Driven Urban Internet-of-Things Ecosystems for Circular, SAfe and IncLusive Smart CITIES) aims to provide a novel, open and extensible platform to enable the secure and resilient acquisition and sharing of information that is collected by individual citizens and/or authorities, through IoT on Smart Cities and participatory sensing assisted with Big Data and Cloud services, with the goal to improve the well-being and inclusivity of citizens (especially vulnerable citizen groups), produce more effective response to crime or other emergencies, and overall make Smart Cities feel more secure and safe to the citizens living in them. The platform will enable the development and runtime operation and management of different IoTPS applications in Cloud architectures by offering an open and extensible set of four fundamental capabilities: connecting, securing, monitoring and locating all IoTPS devices reliably. To achieve its overall aim, IDEAL-CITIES will undertake research and development activities driven by the following objectives: O1: Develop an open modular platform (referred to as the IDEAL-CITIES platform) supporting the development, integration and operational management of IoTPS applications, enabling the capture, processing, analysis and exchange of contextualized information amongst citizens and/or amongst citizens and public authorities utilizing Big Data analytics and Cloud technologies. The platform will offer cross-sectorial IoT services which can be utilized by IoTPS applications. O2: Foster the adoption of the IDEAL-CITIES platform by the development community by creating a framework for development of compatible IoTPS applications in a verifiably secure, sustainable and trustworthy manner. O3: Contribute to the city’s circular economy by optimizing resource utilization and extending the lifecycle of the IoT-enabled devices through intelligent asset management. The IDEAL-CITIES platform will support this functionality by design. O4: Develop two fully-fledged IoTPS Applications with a focus on mobility for the impaired, and citizen safety, based on (and demonstrating the utility of) the IDEAL-CITIES platform and approach. O5: Evaluate the IDEAL-CITIES approach and platform with emphasis on key multi-disciplinary factors underpinning the perception of quality of life, safety and inclusivity of citizens, and evaluate the effect of the IoTPS applications on these factors.
