Evolved frameworks for the integrated development of territorial services

Abstract

In recent years, through the adoption of strategic planning processes, the main objective of cities and territories is that of becoming smart, it its different declinations, associating original, flexible ad intelligent technological processes. This work describes two researches that, starting from the common basic assumptions, have defined and created evolved frameworks that can generate "smart services" in support of integrated territorial development. The first study focuses on the definition of a usable platform in the ‘cloud’ environment with which integrated "smart services" can be developed. These smart services do not only promote the territory, thus creating value for the public administration as well as facilitating and stimulating the local economy; they also contribute to qualifying some specific management aspects such as those referring, for example, to the service of smart energy, or rather the optimisation, monitoring and remote regulation of production/consumption of energy even by means of service chains that involve manufacturers and service provider. The general objective of the second research, instead, consists of the necessity of providing services based on access to a geo-referenced database that is interoperable and predisposed to evolve towards new development scenarios, containing cartographic information associated with various information on info-mobility and road safety.
