Asset and Maintenance Management

Three elements have been identified for the system that will support the deliv-
ery of the asset and maintenance management service, as illustrated in Figure
11.3. The sensor-based data subsystem element represents the equipment and
software required to enable data to be collected from each device being man-
aged in an automated fashion. The manual data input subsystem represents the
hardware and software required to enable manual entry regarding device con-
dition and performance. This includes remote terminal and input to a central
asset management data and analytics system. The asset management data and
analytics element represents a centralized hardware and software system that
conducts the functions required for efficient asset and maintenance manage-
ment for the smart city.

Connected Vehicle
The configuration that has been assumed for the connected vehicle system that
will support the delivery of connected vehicle services as described previously
and illustrated in Figure 11.4.
There are four essential elements of the connected vehicle system: the pri-
vate car in-vehicle subsystem, the urban delivery vehicle in-vehicle subsystem,
the rental car/taxi vehicle subsystem, and the connected vehicle data and ana-
lytics subsystem. All three in-vehicle subsystems are assumed to be similar with
respect to cost estimation and consist of the hardware and software required
to manage data to and from the vehicle and support the connection from the
vehicle subsystem to the connected vehicle data and analytics subsystem. The
connected vehicle data and analytics subsystem is a hardware and software envi-
ronment required to support all functions associated with the data management
and analytics regarding connected vehicles.
