Being initially the driver of the IoT industry, smart city development technologies are rapidly progressing and becoming more and more sophisticated. All cities are pretty unique, thus no fixed-function products will fit quickly changing demand even of single smallest community. What is required is a common flexible technology platform, and that's where AggreGate IoT Integration Platform perfectly fits the emerging market.

1. Smart City As Unified
Multi-tier IoT Solution

2. Increased Smart City IQ
• Generation 1: local management systems (e.g. traffic lights
synchronization)
• Generation 2: vertical scaling of management systems (e.g. situation
center for traffic control)
• Generation 3: integrated citywide systems (e.g. automatically
providing a green corridor for emergency vehicles)
• Generation 4: unified system development by city councils and citizens
(e.g. automatic excessive energy sales from households to utility line)

3. What Has Industrial IoT to Do with It?
• Smart city is a perfect playground where
diverse “things” can intercommunicate now
• Technically, Industrial IoT is generally associated
with new physical layer transmission standards
(e.g. LPWA) and new protocols (e.g. MQTT)
• None of these is revolutionary, it’s logical
technological evolution
• Machine Learning is expected to have game-
changing potential

4. Smart City As IoT System
• On the object level, there is nothing out of the ordinary: “things” are
controllers with sensors and end devices connected to those
controllers
• On a higher level, whole systems become “things” (e.g. traffic control
system can receive orders from the Public Safety Answering Point for
providing a green corridor)
• Tasks carried out by “things” get a great deal more complicated as
structured data exchange is required

5. Example: Engineering Systems Monitoring (ESM)
• Object level. In fact, it’s a simple SCADA system with strictly typed
incidents (alerts).
• Regional level. On this level, every critical object and its local ESM
system are “things”.
• Federal level. In this case, a «thing» is a whole region and its regional
ESM system.

6. Problem of Implementing Standards in Russia
- 6 -
• Vital IoT problem in Russia is frequent disregard of foreign standards and the best
world practices
• Example: CAP (Common Alerting Protocol) is widely used around the globe for warning
various municipal services of natural disasters and man-caused emergencies
• CAP allows governmental services to exchange information immediately, e.g., in case of
tsunami or terror threats
• CAP isn’t applicable for ESM systems, which causes technical complexity of using new
systems as object-level ESM
• The problem is relevant not only to Russia. Lack of interoperability or standards is the
first reason why Industrial Internet development is suppressed (Industrial Internet of
Things: Unleashing the Potential of Connected Products and Services, Accenture,
Industry Agenda of the World Economic Forum, 2015)

7. Unified Smart City: Architecture
- 7 -
• Level 1 “thing”: local building system controller (e.g. access
control or Wi-Fi networks) and local autonomous system
controller (e.g. traffic lights on the square)
• Level 2 “thing”: controlling server and building monitoring
server (e.g. disabling ventilation and unlocking turnstiles
upon receipt of security and fire alarm system signals)
• Level 3 “thing”: Electronic Public Utilities Service Provider
server (serviced by an operator, it collects data on active
incidents from building servers and creates repair requests)
• Level 4 “thing”: regional situation center server
coordinating work of municipal and administration
company systems

8. Urban IoT
- 8 -
Definition: communication infrastructure providing unified, easy, and
effective way of accessing multiple public services.*
Aims:
• Increase the comfort level in urban environment
• Improve economic indicators of Smart City systems
Implementation area: any services related to physical assets.

• Building Integrity Monitoring
• Waste Management
• Intelligent Traffic Control
• Air Quality Monitoring
• Noise Level Monitoring
• Power Supply for Municipal Facilities
• Parking Space Management
• Smart Lighting
• Municipal Building Automation

10. Smart and Safe City. What’s the Difference?
- 10 -
• Brief answer: no difference
• Safe City is one of the development branches,
such as, for instance, Green (energy-efficient)
City
• Safe City systems exchange data with all other
Smart City systems
• Multiple systems serve several duties (e.g.,
traffic surveillance system)
