Many cities today ground basis for implementation of sustainable and interconnected concepts of Smart City. Parking is one of the examples. It is often a problem and drivers looking for a parking spot can represent up to 30% of the city traffic. Detectors installed at parking spots are the smart solution; they can detect if the spot is free or occupied and we can navigate drivers to free parking spots via app. This improves and lowers the traffic intensity as well as carbon oxide emissions. These individual “smart” solutions without any doubt solve barriers in city infrastructure. They enhance transport, security, energy supplies and waste disposal.
The biggest challenge of the future is to integrate the increasing number of smart solutions into a complex ecosystem of connected objects, places and people; this can be achieved only through superior platform of Smart City. Smart City Platform technology connects citizens with local municipality and supports direct involvement, interaction and collaboration. The platform proactively offers services, announcements, information; it integrates, harmonizes and analyses huge amount of data to forecast, mitigate and prevent various problems. These data are e.g. used for smart redirection of traffic and to decrease number of traffic accidents, they are also used for identification of criminal places and crime mitigation, connection of citizens in work or outside of the city. The Smart City Platform creates added value and offers vast economic advantages as the public services are improved.
