to both public and private sector entities within the smart city. Sensor-based
data services will be complemented by probe vehicle data coming from con-
nected vehicles. Sensor data will also be supplemented by mobile data from
smart phones and social media data from social media networks such as Twitter.
This will enable smart city managers to measure performance and gauge per-
ception of services with respect to transportation. Data from smart sensors will
also provide a significant input into back-office activities that deliver analytic
services

Low-Cost Efficient, Secure, and Resilient ICT Services
Data will be transmitted within the smart city using a range of information,
communication, and technology services. Some of these will be owned and
operated by the public sector and others by the private sector. It is likely that
a hybrid approach involving wireline and wireless solutions will be adopted
to supply the services. The communication services will be delivered within a
managed framework that provides maximum efficiency and security, while tak-
ing a network approach to supporting resilience.

Smart Grid, Roadway Electrification, and Electric Vehicle Services
This involves electrification of vehicles and the establishment of a network of
charging points to enable electric vehicles to have the same range as gasoline-
powered vehicles. This will require that electric vehicle charging points become
as ubiquitous as gas stations. The services provided will be enabled using renew-
able energy to optimize the cost of energy and the ensuing emissions. Services
will be provided via private cars, transit systems, and electric fleets.

Smart Land-Use Services
Smart land use within a smart city will include the establishment of mobility
and travel access hubs that support multimodal transfer and the optimization of
the daily commute. Urban analytics will also support smart land use by provid-
ing further insight into the relationship between land use and transportation
demand. Smart land use will also involve detailed consideration of accessibility
to jobs and the relationship between residential zones and work zones.

Strategic Business Models and Partnering Services
The services to be delivered in the smart city will be enabled by strategic busi-
ness models and partnering. While previous models for deploying advanced
technologies in transportation have had a predominantly public-sector focus,
it is likely that the smart city will be supported by public-private partnerships
that harness the resources and motivation of the private sector in addition to
the public sector.
