Session: Smart Cities

From Idea to Smart City

Piet Demeester

From Idea to Smart city

start

• Idea (start with an interdisciplinary team and get end user involved)

• Concept

paper

• Algorithm

• Architecture

experiment

• Prototype implementation

• Prototype testing on experimental facility

PoC

• Make “friendly user” proof of concept

• Proof of concept in real environment

Living Lab

• Provide stable version and support

• Test in living lab

Smart City

• Commercial implementation

• Professional roll-out

bring allthe stakeholders

together in the the different phases

IBBT: FromIdea to Living Lab

Concept idea

• demand driven & multidisciplinary research (technological, user, social, economical, legal…)

Lab PoC

• iLab.o user research

• iLab.u user centered design

• mock-ups

• proxy technology assessment

Lab PoC

• iLab.t @ IBBT

• technical design

• demonstration of technical feasibility

Internal field test

• iLab.t infrastructure

• Internal testers (related to project partners)

External field test

• iLab.t infrastructure

• iLab.o / u : user research

• External testers

• real end users

• limited number (5-15)

Living lab

• iLab.o

• Prototype HW & SW

• Large number of end users

Stakeholders

• Interdisciplinary researchers (technology, sociology, law, economics, …)

• Companies (manufacturers, service providers, …)

• Municipalities and governments

• End-users and their environment (family, care-takers, …)

A specific case: TV Kiosk

Case: Home for the Elderly “De Vijvers”

Important:

• Social Inclusion (other residents, family, friends)• get information (photo’s, latest

news, …)

• play together (very simple games)

• Personal Safety (is there somebody to help me ?)

Next steps

Turn iLab.thardware/software into fully-

fledged prototype (typ. by industry)

Large scale trials in real living environment

‘Experience’ research

Refine solution

More advanced user research

Improved technical design

…

Initiate product into the market

…

Only when mature product, move to Smart

City applications (full industrial deployment)
