Public open sensor data: Revolutionizing smart cities
Abstract
Local governments have decided to take advantage of the presence of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in their cities to efficiently manage several applications in their daily responsibilities. The enormous amount of information collected by sensor devices allows the automation of several real-time services to improve city management by using intelligent traffic-light patterns during rush hour, reducing water consumption in parks, or efficiently routing garbage collection trucks throughout the city [1]. The sensor information required by these examples is mostly self-consumed by city-designed applications and managers.

Concrete actions can help governments to unleash the potential of public data to empower a transparent governance model, which ultimately builds trust between citizens and their cities.
“In this respect, recent case studies [57,76,77] have demonstrated that concrete actions can help governments to unleash the potential of public data to empower a transparent governance model (e.g., citizens can identify errors, prevent abuses, and inefficiencies), which ultimately builds trust between citizens and their cities [74,78].”

The open data movement can be regarded as an engine for innovation, economic growth; as a way to create added-value services and applications; and to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and cost savings at city level.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
