Physical Infrastructures and Networks in Smart Cities
A section of Smart Cities (ISSN 2624-6511).
Section Information
Scope:
This section will discuss aspects related to the development, management, and digitalization of the fundamental physical systems for urban operations. This includes research related to smart, connected, and resilient infrastructure concerning utilities, transportation, communications, and civil works. Topics of interest range from sensor and IoT integration in physical assets, condition monitoring, and automated maintenance. It also involves synergy among conventionally isolated networks (e.g., power, water, transportation) for improved holistic urban efficiency and service delivery.
