Urban population growth

180,000 people move to cities every day By 2050, ~75% of population will live in cities

Urban sprawl

Negative impact on traffic CO2 emissions

Negative impact on cost of public services

Increasing energy demand

Increase across all sectors: transport; industry; residential; services

Increasing elderly population

In 2000, 6.9% of world’s population 65+

By 2050, 15.6% of world’s population 65+

Research Areas

• Smart infrastructure: management of urban-scale critical infrastructure (USCI) – autonomic management techniques modelled as self-organising multi-agent systems

that exploit model-free learning algorithms to associate meaning and actions with available sensor data

• Smart transportation: improving the reliability and safety of road transportation – advanced urban traffic control and highway management systems

• Smart urban-scale sensing: middleware and communications architectures to allow data from both public and user-contributed sensors to be exploited by smart cities – wireless sensor networks, vehicular sensor networks, and participatory sensing

• Smart services: middleware for adaptable software services – run-time statistical timing analysis, timely reconfiguration; multi-layer

Air pollution

Premature deaths increase ~150 per million (in 2000) to ~390

per million (in 2030)

Cost of congestion

In 2007, congestion induced economic losses in Dublin were 4.1% of GDP

Deaths in traffic

In 2010, RTAs were no. 1 cause of death in 15-44 year-olds in the U.S.

Smart Infrastructure • Urban scale critical infrastructure modelled as multi-agent systems

– Traffic-light controllers on a junction modelled as an intelligent agent • Learn suitable actions through interaction with environment

• Suitable for dynamic operating environments

– Urban traffic control system modelled as multi-agent systems • Use of multi-agent cooperation to manage dependencies between agents

to improve overall system performance

– Self-organizing • Global behaviours arise from local actions and interactions

• No central control or global system view

– Multiple performance goals/policies
