Asunción Santamaría, Director of IoTMADLAB, presented the collaborative working methodology and the city interoperability framework, as well as participation in standardisation and normalisation entities such as Open Mobile Alliance, Smart Data Models and AIOTI, with which we collaborate to establish the framework for a city that adapts in real time to the needs of people and the environment. #RealTimeCity #City5.0.
The scope of university-city collaboration was explained in order to establish a scalable, replicable, neutral, open, and interoperable model to advance a hyperconnected and hyperautomated city, involving four permanent groups on:
– AI-IoT
– #CiberOT & #CiberCity (with Centro de Ciberseguridad del Ayuntamiento de Madrid)
– 5G-6G (including #5GMADnet deployment and 5G corridors)
– Data & AI
Participating on behalf of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid were Juan Manuel Munoz-Guijosa (Rector’s Delegate For Innovation, Entrepreneurship And Transfer) and Manuel Sierra Castañer, director of the ETS de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación Universidad Politécnica de Madrid.
Demonstrators of MOBILITIES FOR EU Project were also showcased, including connected autonomous vehicles, #5GCorridors and #DataSpaces, currently being deployed at the #SmartUrbanSpace of Mercamadrid, S.A., with the collaboration of Gonzalo Reguera Díaz de Terán.
The Japanese delegation expressed interest in exploring collaboration opportunities between participating technology centres and #IoTMADLab to share knowledge and advance toward open and interoperable urban ecosystems.
