Title: Transforming Urban Mobility and Vehicle Security: Exploring ICT and AI Advances in Smart City Networks


Abstract

With the exponential growth of the global population projected to reach 8.5 billion by 2030, and a significant portion expected to reside in urban centers, effective mobility management becomes paramount to address the ensuing traffic surge. Managing mobility is crucial to prevent congestion on roadways. Concurrently, advancements in technology, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), offer promising solutions to enhance mobility management in cities. Smart city initiatives leverage technologies like Information Communication Technologies (ICT) and IoT to efficiently utilize and oversee infrastructure, resources, transportation, traffic, and services, involving various stakeholders like humans, drones, vehicles, smart devices, and buildings. In this presentation, I will explore how ICT can be leveraged to manage vehicle mobility effectively, while also discussing the potential threats that ICT systems may encounter in this context.
