The urban population growth and rapid urbanization are the key issues many of the European cities are currently dealing with. Vienna, as the one of the leading cities, embodies the smart cities goals and values. The new Smart City Wien Framework Strategy is more than a technological approach, furthermore, it emphasises importance of the social innovation. Nevertheless, the strategy lacks concrete goals for academic research and smart cities integration into educational programs. Little to no academic research discusses smart cities oriented study programs. This paper aims to close existing gap and proposes exemplary practical approach to integrate smart cities concepts at the academic level. Starting with the basic evaluation of the existing smart cities relevant study programs in the European area, we elaborate three interacting tracks for implementation: educational Web platform, postgraduate program and cross-departmental study programs including student projects. A practical, professional field-oriented and diversity-fair approach is chosen. The paper describes the status quo of the implementation process and in particular a cross-departmental study program. This exemplary implementation concept of smart cities may serve as a basis for universities with practice-oriented education to utilize own smart cities related studies.

The main goal of smart cities is to improve the traditional services that are provided to the citizens and also create new and more challenging ones. This vision aims not only to citizens' prosperity, but also to economic progress and sustainability of the city. It is feasible to achieve this goal through the use of technologies and architectures which purpose is to integrate the various elements of the city and help them interact in an effective manner. In this paper, we discuss the key technologies and architectures that have already been proposed in the literature in order to find the appropriate ones to be implemented for the development of smart cities.

Smart grid is the next generation of electricity production, transmission and distribution system. This is possible through an overlayed communication layer with the power delivery layer. Due to this communication layer smart grids produce enormous amounts of data. This data may be analyzed for improving the quality of service of smart grids. However, handling such enormous amount of data is a challenge. LZMA and BZIP2 are two industrial strength compression techniques. In this paper we present an enhanced version of these two schemes specifically targeted to smart grid data through a pre-processing step. Our results show that while the original LZMA is able to compress the data size to around 80% our enhanced scheme using the preprocessing is able to reduce the size of the smart grid data to 98% on average.

In the smart grid and smart city context, the energy end-user plays an active role in the operation of the power system. The rapid penetration of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) and Distributed Energy Resources (DER) requires a higher degree of flexibility on the demand side. As commercial and Industrial buildings (C&I) buildings represent a substantial aggregation of loads, the intertwined operation of the electric distribution network and the built environment is to large extent responsible for achieving energy efficiency and sustain-ability targets. However, the primary purpose of buildings is not grid support but rather ensuring the comfort and safety of its occupants. Therefore, the comfort level needs to be included as a constraint when assessing the flexibility potential of the built environment. This paper proposes a decentralized method for flexibility allocation among a set of buildings. The method uses concepts from non-cooperative game theory. Finally, two case of study are used to evaluate the performance of the decentralized algorithm, and compare it against a centralized option. It is shown that flexibility requests from the grid operator can be met without deteriorating the comfort levels.

This paper introduces a way to verify a microscopic pedestrian simulator. The microscopic pedestrian simulator tested in this paper is developed by our group, which can be used to guide the crowd evacuation and prepare respond plans for emergent situations as reference to city council and law enforcement agency. It is important that the simulation results reveal the true behavior of pedestrian, for certain precaution actions can be taken in order to guarantee the safety of the crowd. Therefore, the simulator has to been tested and verified using different test scenarios. In this paper, we documented the performance of our simulator tested with all 14 scenarios proposed by the RiMEA (Richtlinie für Mikroskopische Entfluchtungs-Analysen) guideline. The test results show that our simulator passes all the tests. Moreover, our pedestrian simulator constantly improves its performance by cooperating with construction companies and government departments running on-site tests with first-hand data. Now it covers emergency scenarios such as fire / smoke and floods.

Heterogeneous smart grid systems operate with different and incompatible protocols. MIRABEL and Open-ADR are prominent examples, providing intelligent demand respond functionalities. In principle of operation as in complexity, both protocols differ significantly, which results in a lack of inter-connectivity among themselves. Connecting these commonly used standards makes it possible to benefit from different protocol advantages and prevents from reconstructing whole smart grid systems for consolidation. Furthermore, it holds potentials for interoperability of individually produced smart grid components. This work contributes a conceptual mapping model between OpenADR and MIRABEL on the basis of a detailed protocol analysis, as well as an initial implementation.

This work aims at systematically characterizing urban mobility. There are several possible approaches to the problem but this work focus on reducing commuting times and emissions using the current infrastructures and without increasing the cost to the end user and doing so in an effective and sustainable way. A set of pairs of destinations and origins was chosen to represent usual commutes and cover a significant area of a city. These locations were connected by car, motorcycle, public transportation, cycling and walking. The routes were performed in both directions at three different times of day which allowed for a better understanding of daily traffic variations. For each route and for each mode of transportation the route and time taken were collected and the emissions and cost were estimated. The data was treated to adjust the route and gradient difference between the collected data and actual roads. Measurements and estimates were compared and averaged for all the routes and for each means of transportation providing an overall view of the commutes. The different means of transportation were compared and the limit to which one mode has the advantage over another was evaluated, this advantage is however dependent on the chosen route.

Generating the power necessary to run our future cities is one of the major concerns for scientists and policy makers alike. The increasing global energy demands with simultaneously decreasing fossil energy sources will drastically affect future energy prices. Strategies are already being implemented to develop solutions for the generation and efficient usage of energy at different levels. Involving citizens in the efficient planning and usage of power is a key. In this paper, we propose a game theory based power sharing mechanism between end-users in smart grids. We consider that citizens can produce some amount of electric power obtained from on-site renewable sources rather than just purchasing their whole demands from the grid. Simulation results show that consumers can achieve considerable cost savings if they adopt the proposed scheme. It is also noticed that the more the consumers cooperate, the higher the percentage of cost savings is.

The Power grid evolves, but its structure presents several gaps with the new numerical technologies, renewable energies and electric vehicles. The literature introduces the concept of Smart Grid, a system which takes into account the behaviour and the action of its agents. Studying the smart grid through modelling and simulation provides us with valuable results which cannot be obtained in the real world due to time and cost related constraints. Nevertheless, due to the complexity of the smart grid, achieving global optimization is not an easy task. In this paper, we propose a complex system approach to the smart grid modelling, accentuating on the representation of the structure. Thanks to this combination, the optimization can be achieved on a dynamic graph taking into account changes and network errors over time, with the ability to detect them.

The transport sector is constantly growing as well as its complexity and energy consumption. One way to reduce the involvement and the volume of data to evaluate and monitor the energy efficiency of the sector for cities authorities is by using Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). This paper describes a set of KPIs to measure and track energy efficiency in the transport sector. The KPIs that are summarized in this paper were identified based on a literature review of mobility projects/strategies/policies that had been implemented in cities around the world. Future applications, which are presented at the end of this article, will give a better understanding of the systems and its components.
