Publication Open Access An analysis matrix for the assessment of smart city technologies: main results of its application(MDPI, 2017) Branchi, Pablo Emilio; Fernández Valdivielso, Carlos; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate PublikoaThe paper presents the main results of a previously developed methodology to better evaluate new technologies in Smart Cities, using a tool to evaluate different systems and technologies regarding their usefulness, considering each application and how technologies can impact the physical space and natural environment. Technologies have also been evaluated according to how they are used by citizens, who must be the main concern of all urban development. Through a survey conducted among the Smart City Spanish network (RECI) we found that the ICT’s that change our cities everyday must be reviewed, developing an innovative methodology in order to find an analysis matrix to assess and score all the technologies that affect a Smart City strategy. The paper provides the results of this methodology regarding the three main aspects to be considered in urban developments: mobility, energy efficiency, and quality of life after obtaining the final score for every analyzed technology. This methodology fulfills an identified need to study how new technologies could affect urban scenarios before being applied, developing an analysis system to be used by urban planners and policy-makers to decide how best to use them, and this paper tries to show, in a simple way, how they can appreciate the variances between different solutions.Publication Open Access Methodology to assess the impact of the introduction of new technologies in smart cities(Federación de Asociaciones de Ingenieros Industriales de España, 2015) Branchi, Pablo Emilio; Fernández Valdivielso, Carlos; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Institute of Smart Cities - ISCEstamos frente a una revolución producto de los sistemas digitales y de comunicación, donde el papel de la tecnología continuará creciendo exponencialmente. Está calando profundamente en la sociedad, y tiene un alto impacto en las infraestructuras, los sistemas de transporte, en los edificios y en el espacio público. En el ámbito urbano se reconfigura el escenario tradicional tecnológico, con sistemas que generan nuevas necesidades, descubriendo nuevas realidades que buscan nuevas soluciones. El objetivo de este trabajo es el de establecer una metodología para la elaboración de una herramienta de evaluación para las diferentes tecnologías en función de su utilidad y consecuencias, contemplando la incidencia de sus aplicaciones. Con ella se podrán evaluar, por parte de políticos y técnicos prescriptores, las ventajas y desventajas de cada iniciativa, las virtudes de las tecnologías y sistemas disponibles, y el modo óptimo de su aplicación en las Ciudades Inteligentes.Publication Open Access Analysis matrix for smart cities(MDPI, 2014) Branchi, Pablo Emilio; Fernández Valdivielso, Carlos; Matías Maestro, Ignacio; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta ElektronikoaThe current digital revolution has ignited the evolution of communications grids and the development of new schemes for productive systems. Traditional technologic scenarios have been challenged, and Smart Cities have become the basis for urban competitiveness. The citizen is the one who has the power to set new scenarios, and that is why a definition of the way people interact with their cities is needed, as is commented in the first part of the article. At the same time, a lack of clarity has been detected in the way of describing what Smart Cities are, and the second part will try to set the basis for that. For all before, the information and communication technologies that manage and transform 21st century cities must be reviewed, analyzing their impact on new social behaviors that shape the spaces and means of communication, as is posed in the experimental section, setting the basis for an analysis matrix to score the different elements that affect a Smart City environment. So, as the better way to evaluate what a Smart City is, there is a need for a tool to score the different technologies on the basis of their usefulness and consequences, considering the impact of each application. For all of that, the final section describes the main objective of this article in practical scenarios, considering how the technologies are used by citizens, who must be the main concern of all urban development.
