160 Big Data Analytics for Connected Vehicles and Smart Cities Transportation Use Cases 161

plores the definition of the term use cases and explains a simplified version of
the traditional use case that best serves the need for smart city transportation.
The chapter also identifies and defines a sample of 17 smart city transportation
use cases along with the type of information that would be captured in the
use case and practice. These serve to illustrate the application of the use case
technique and provide some examples of smart city transportation use cases.
Furthermore, they are intended to stimulate thought on the definition and de-
velopment of a wider range of smart city use cases. It is expected that smart city
use cases will be customized for each smart city implementation. As the term
use case can be difficult to grasp at first, this chapter explains the concept and
how it can be adapted for use in smart city transportation service delivery. The
ability to document user objectives and the value proposition to be delivered as
a result of the analytics work is crucial to justifying the effort required in apply-
ing big data and analytics to the smart city transportation environment.
