A smart city

Trends and problems

Position trends and issues:

- Building smart cities is becoming an inevitable trend of cities around the world and Vietnam is also initially approaching this trend. Through the application of advanced information and communication technologies to enhance control and connectivity in all areas of life in the city, thereby improving the efficiency of socio-economic activities. , improve the service quality of the city government, reduce energy consumption, bring a better quality of life for residents. A smart city is a place where people and things are connected, linked and integrated with each other thanks to digital technology, creating a huge amount of data about the city that in turn is used. a smart way to manage and serve each individual in real time.

- Existing resources, assets in the city and all aspects of city operations are realized efficiently and sustainably through the use of information and communication technology (ICT) and other smart technologies. Smart city uses the latest achievements of information and communication technology, devices are connected to each other according to the principle of Internet of Things (Internet of Things) to optimize the operation of the city. , providing the best goods and services for citizens, connecting the government and the people, to solve the problems of infrastructure, energy, accommodation, mobility, services, security to reduce resource consumption, improving the quality of life of residents and increasing the competitiveness of the urban economy in a sustainable way. These technologies include sensor technology and CCTV cameras, connectivity technologies and data analysis... .Help improve quality of life, efficiency of urban services and activities, competitiveness of the city, while ensuring that the needs of present and future generations are met.

- Smart projects in the world are increasingly racing and catching up with new trends to help improve life more securely and safely, to evaluate what a smart city is based on many criteria. evaluate to implement many ideas and Vitelek will give you many great solutions to help people's lives as well as Vietnam can compete with developed countries to rise to be a country worth living.

- Accompanying these positive aspects are the problems arising from the process of urbanization, including the overload of transport infrastructure, education and health, social safety, and environment. school, social security (social services are not provided in a timely manner to vulnerable groups: children with special circumstances, the elderly, people with disabilities, etc.).

- For normal survival, urban dwellers need essential things such as: clean air, clean drinking water, medical care, sanitary facilities, reliable energy supply systems, The collection and treatment of wastewater and domestic solid waste is efficient, and the urban transport system is efficient. That can only be achieved when the process of urban management and operation is effectively implemented. In fact, improving the efficiency of urban governance and operation is always a permanent problem for people and urban authorities everywhere. The transformation of the traditional city model into a smart city is a direction to promote the improvement of urban governance and operation efficiency, which is being carried out by many countries.

Applications and criteria

1. Smart environment:

- The smart environment aims to apply information and communication technology to improve the efficiency of energy sources, ensure the quality of the living environment (air, water, soil), preserve green space and environmental protection. diverse ecology... The characteristics of the smart environment include: application of information technology to improve the efficiency of the use of energy sources; promote the use of renewable energy sources; use intelligent sensor system to detect pollution and incidents in real time; control air pollution; efficient waste management and treatment.

2. Smart life:

- Smart life. Smart life aims to give individuals a new experience of a high-quality life on the basis of modern infrastructure; towards ensuring the safety of individuals; strengthen social cohesion. Increasing the value of residents' lives through cultural facilities, health/medical care systems, security systems, housing systems, social cohesion, tourist attractions and education and training system.

3. Smart economy:

- The smart economy is characterized by the application of information and communication technologies to all activities of the economy; the smart economy is built on the knowledge economy, where knowledge is considered the key of development; smart economy is also a green economy; Smart economy towards sharing. The economy is highly competitive. That is the economy of innovation, in which innovation ecosystems are formed and operated effectively to provide effective solutions to people's problems and related innovation. continuing business models.

4. Smart traffic:

- Traffic problem is becoming more and more difficult for cities under the pressure of urbanization, so building smart transportation will help to solve this problem. Thanks to the application of information and communication technology, intelligent traffic has high operational efficiency, advanced traffic management system helps to optimize traffic flow in the city. Smart traffic also provides real-time traffic information to both authorities and citizens; Electronic payment application for various types of transport. In intelligent traffic, the new generation of vehicles will run on electricity and automatically, being environmentally friendly. Smart transportation aims at the most convenience, reducing costs and travel time, while ensuring safety.

5. Smart government:

- Through the application of information and communication technology, smart government will better address the challenges of urban development, promote and make the most of the other pillars of the smart city. The characteristics of smart government include: application of information and communication technology to all government activities; an open government - increased citizen participation; make open data accessible to all sectors of society; The government implements effective management and monitoring of the city through a continuously updated and aggregated information base.

6. Smart resident:

- In a smart city, residents play a central role, both as beneficiaries but also as contributors to the construction and development of the city. Only smart residents have the ability to make effective use of technological achievements, realize their responsibilities in monitoring and managing the city government's activities, and contribute ideas to the construction process. city building. Smart residents are shown in the following characteristics: have a high level of education; have a passion for lifelong learning; actively participate in community activities; culturally and religiously diverse.

Application technology to build smart city

Key technologies applied in smart city construction (or converting from traditional city operation to smart city operation/administration):

- Artificial intelligence (AI) and high-level automation (super automation).
- Machine-to-machine communication (M2M communication) and widely used mobile broadband service (pervasive broadband mobile).
- “smart” energy grids.
- Virtual assistants (talking & serviceable “bots”).
- Driverless transport (driverless transport).
- Internet of Things (Internet of Everything or Internet of Things - IoT).
- Advanced cybersecurity.
- Virtual assistants (talking & serviceable “bots”) Human-machine interface (currently, human-machine interaction in many cities is done via touch screens).
- Telework, tele-education, and tele-health services.
- Virtual companies.

Thanks to the application of high technology, the civil servants of the smart city can directly interact with the community, the technical infrastructure of the city, monitor what is happening and developments, lead city, progress, movement trend of the whole city. With the city management according to the smart city model, the needs of city people are met to the maximum.
