And it is expensive to have dogs with these abilities because training is an individualized process. The challenge is to build devices to automate the training so that they can serve a larger number of people. How trainers can perform actions remotely over the internet? How can they build devices for dogs to exchange messages with other devices that recognize the dog’s behavior? This paper will explain why it is necessary to have IoT devices (reactive and smart objects) to assist the training of dogs and the evolution of dog’s devices: from monitoring to smart environment. This includes the description of requirements for the smart environment, as well as the association with the concepts and proposes of IoT protocols and hardware devices.","PeriodicalId":112014,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE First Summer School on Smart Cities (S3C)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129962383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These interaction flows are considered smart for making strategic use of infrastructure, services, information and communication with urban planning and management to meet social and economic needs of society. According to Berrone (2016), the 10 dimensions indicate the level of intelligence of a city: governance, public administration, urban planning, technology, the environment, international connections, social cohesion, human capital and the economy. Thus, this study is proposed here address two of these topics: governance and economy. To Araúhajo (2002), the term governance as the ability of a government has to design and implement their policies this ability refers to the financial sphere, managerial and technical, while governance implies the conditions the exercise of political is based on the analysis of these dimensions that see the role of social cohesion so necessary for the construction of a structure and culture of smart cities. Once appropriating this culture, economic development will be the reflection of that interaction. According to Nakagama, cases successful in smart cities as Australia, show that generating real business results of short-term, especially as the government encouragement (tax incentives and access to credit), provides a creative economy, able to retain talents in local companies with good revenue. Thus, this paper aims to make a thematic focus on what public policy strategies that drive the construction of smart cities in order to verify the impact of public policies and this study the importance of public engagement in governance: identify talent retention strategies and analyze the socio-economic development. Thus, a descriptive and exploratory methodology grounded in case study of governance practices in Australia will be applied, these practices opposed to the Brazilian.","PeriodicalId":112014,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE First Summer School on Smart Cities (S3C)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129057724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the FISVER framework is proposed to apply new ICT paradigms in smart surveillance capable STS systems to enhance crime assistance. Through FISVER, in-vehicle fog and Fog systems interwork to provision autonomous crime detections and real-time crime assist at bus service.

The purpose of this system is to assist with the process of docking of ships in the dock of Natal, Brazil, where there is no current way of measuring distance between a ship and the dock. The distance estimation is based on the identification of a marker positioned on the dock by a camera placed on the ship, using triangles similarity as a distance calculation. An Intel Galileo board was connected to the camera to perform image processing and send the estimated distance to a web server where the system user could access the data. A prototype was built to perform an evaluation of the system, the experiments were made in a reduced-scale model and in a real docking process. An average error of 1.62% was obtained in the reduced model while the accuracy in the real scenario cannot be measured yet, due to the lack of a precise instrument of comparison between the exact and the estimated distance in the dock.","PeriodicalId":112014,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE First Summer School on Smart Cities (S3C)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127167387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system covered in this article, called PetGyn, falls into this category. It is powerful enough to represent scenarios of changes in the structure of road networks and/or in the behavior of their elements (pathways, traffic lights, possible conversions, etc.) and for predicting road usage levels (volume and traffic speed). In addition, PetGyn’s flexibility allows the employment of different traffic allocation models (system optimization, user equilibrium, etc.), various types of cost functions (from the classic BPR – Bureau of Public Roads – arc cost functions to non-separable and asymmetric functions) and the simulation of different behaviors for the road network components (blocking routes according to schedules/days, reversing the direction of traffic flows, allowing/forbidden parking along the lanes, among others). Since its conception, it was built in a modular way so that it can be easily adapted to the urban traffic particularities of any country. Unlike commercial systems in this area, PetGyn was developed under a free software philosophy and as a web-based system in order to favor collaborative work. Its usage allows the study of intervention projects for mediumsized metropolitan regions, contributing to identify possible improvements in urban mobility.","PeriodicalId":112014,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE First Summer School on Smart Cities (S3C)","volume":"2009 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127332796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Train trip travel identification is one of the issues present in this new schema. Differentiating train and car trips is challenging because in many cases railways and roads are side by side and their individual travels have similar speed. In this paper, we describe a methodology based on a speed-based filter and geospatial operation using the OSM network to determine possible train trip segments in data gathered in a mobility campaign. We evaluated our method using over 9,683 segments, which have been gathered by 239 devices. The results show that the proposed approach successfully detects 76.14 of the train trip segments labeled by users. This methodology can be used as a post-processing step to classify train segments in big data of smart cities.","PeriodicalId":112014,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE First Summer School on Smart Cities (S3C)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126839803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
