The purpose of this guide is to present thoughts and ideas on building a seamless sharing mobility on demand, Traveller-centric smart tourism platform for Smart Cities, providing tourists, locals, and travellers with full-course mobility service systems by designing and developing a smart city tourist and mobility software system. Its target audience includes developers, city planners, and policymakers who are enthusiastic about designing and implementing a similar system in their cities.
The guide commences by introducing the concept of smart cities and the pivotal role technology plays in transforming cities into smarter, more efficient entities. From there, it delves into the design requirements specific to a smart city tourist and mobility software system. This encompasses crucial aspects such as data collection and analysis, system integration, and the creation of a user-friendly interface.
The book provides a thorough overview of the various components that constitute the software system, including the tourist information system, public transportation, accommodation, traffic management, and other features like parking. Each component's design and functionality are examined in detail, emphasizing the unique attributes that render them suitable for a smart city environment.
In addition to addressing the technical aspects of development, the guide also tackles the challenges inherent in building such a system. It explores concerns related to privacy, cybersecurity threats, and the necessity for interoperability among different systems. Furthermore, I offer practical ideas for effectively addressing these challenges.
