The HK Smart City Blueprint: an Assessment in Relation to International Smart City Performance Standards

In December 2017 the Hong Kong Government launched the Smart City Blueprint (www.smartcity. gov.hk). In this, a series of 76 objectives for Hong Kong were announced under six themes; “Smart Mobility”, “Smart Living”, “Smart Environment”, “Smart People”, “Smart Government” and “Smart Economy”. Concurrent with this initiative has been the development by a number of international bodies, including the International Standards Organization (ISO), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the British Standards (BSI) for formulated standards in ‘smart’ urban development (SSCC-CG 2015). This paper provides a critique of the Smart City Blueprint for Hong Kong in relation to these international standards that have been developed, using international case studies to assess and offer alternatives to the design strategies and methodological approaches in place.

The Role of Humans in Creating a Smart City

Every human being is born unique with their own talents and abilities. Therefore, every human being is unique. We cannot compare humans because every human being has their own weaknesses and weaknesses. Thus humans are social creatures who need each other to complement each other. If the talents and abilities that are owned can be channeled properly and correctly, it will create extraordinary innovations that can change mindsets and facilitate all human activities, including by creating Smart Home and Smart City. Of course this cannot be separated from the development of science and technology in the current era of globalization. Thus, the role of the government is also expected to support this because it is an integrated system. Thus, to realize a smart city, it is necessary to have a system that is mutually integrated and supports each other, namely smart governance, smart society, smart life, smart economy, smart environment, and smart branding.

Classification of Cellulosic Insulation State Based on Smart Life Prediction Approach (SLPA)

The state of cellulosic solid kraft paper (CSKP) insulation, to a large extent, is an indication of a transformer’s health. It not only reflects the condition of transformer but also diagnose its residual life. The quantity of 2-furfuraldehyde (2-FAL), carbon dioxide (CO2), and carbon monoxide (CO) dissolved in the transformer oil are useful diagnostic indicators to predict the state of the CSKP insulation. In this work, the current physical state of the CSKP is determined with the help of easily measurable parameters, like temperature, moisture, and the aging time. Here, the degree of deterioration of CSKP insulation has been determined using an integrated insulation health assessment system. This technique integrates a two-stage system comprising of a neural network (NN) model followed by a Smart Life Prediction Approach (SLPA). A thermo-moisture-aging multi-layer feed-forward NN model has been developed to predict the concentrations of 2-FAL, CO2, and CO, which are further correlated to estimate the Degree of Polymerization (DP) values adopting an SLPA. The advantage of the proposed integrated system is that it provides an alternative means of paper health assessment based on Dissolved Gas Analysis (DGA) without estimating dissolved gas concentrations in oil, thereby avoiding the use of sophisticated measuring instruments. The optimal configuration of the NN model has been achieved at minimum iterations with an average cross-validation mean square error of 3.78 × 10−7. The proposed system thereby avoids destructive and offline measurement of DP and facilitates real-time condition monitoring of oil-immersed transformers. The test results of the developed system show considerable reliability in determining insulation health using easily measurable parameters. Furthermore, the system’s performance is compared with reported work and has been found to provide encouraging outcomes.

Enhanced Electrochemical Performance of Micro-Supercapacitors Via Laser-Scribed Cobalt/Reduced Graphene Oxide Hybrids.

The evolution of "smart life," which connects all internet-of-things (IoT) microdevices and microsensors under wireless communication grids, requires microscale energy storage devices with high power and energy density and long-term cyclability to integrate them with sustainable power generators. Instead of Li-ion batteries with a short lifetime, pseudocapacitors with longer or infinite cyclability and high-power density have been considered as efficient energy storage devices for IoT. However, the design and fabrication of microscale pseudocapacitors have difficulties in patterning microscale electrodes when loading active materials at specific points of the electrodes using conventional microfabrication methods. Here, we developed a facile, one-step fabrication method of micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) through the in situ formation of Co metals and the reduced graphene oxides (rGOs) in a one-pot laser scribing process. The prepared Co/rGO MSC thus exhibited four times higher capacitance than the rGO MSC, due to the Faradaic charge capacitance behavior of the Co/rGO composites.

Implementation of smart city concept: A case of Jakarta Smart City, Indonesia

The concept of a smart city has been proposed to solve urban problems. The concept has been implemented in different parts of the world, including in Jakarta, Indonesia’s capital city. Jakarta has experienced environmental and socio-economic problems as the consequences of rapid urbanization. Therefore, the local government has initiated Jakarta Smart City since 2014. This paper aims to explain the implementation of the smart city concept in Jakarta based on the six elements of the Smart European Cities, namely, Smart Economy, Smart Governance, Smart People, Smart Mobility, Smart Environment, and Smart Living. The research data is gathered through in-depth interviews with a representative from the government of Jakarta and from the literature review. The results indicate that Jakarta’s government has implemented the six elements of a smart city by using digital infrastructure, i.e., online platform and software application. However, there is still a lot of work to be done as there is still room for improvement to maximize the benefit for the city and its residents. One of them is that Jakarta’s government needs to optimize the use of the existing applications and increase the awareness of users of these applications.

Research on Efficient and Intelligent Regulation of Nutrients in Protected Soilless Culture

Green plants can effectively purify the air, release negative ions, and form a green field of vision to promote human physical and mental health. Nowadays, with the acceleration of the pace of life and the increase in the pressure of life, people do not have enough time and energy to take care of plants grown indoors in homes. Plants in large office places need to hire professionals to plant them. Raw intelligent control of flower pots can reduce energy consumption, save resources, and realize a smart life of health, environmental protection and low-carbon energy saving. At present, the effective combination of smart flowerpots and the Internet of Things makes smart flowerpots more distinctive and more obvious than traditional flowerpots. The purpose of this article is to study the efficient and intelligent regulation of nutrients in protected soil-less cultivation. In terms of methods, this paper first proposes fuzzy control and fuzzy self-tuning PID control. When the PID parameters of temperature and humidity are controlled by this control system, fuzzy rules, fuzzy reasoning and non-fuzzy processes are also used. In the soil-less cultivation control system, when the humidity in the greenhouse is too low for plant growth, you can choose to adjust the humidity in the greenhouse by starting the spray device or natural ventilation. As for the nutrient liquid level sensor, a light-weight, convenient, simple-to-use, and highly cost-effective water level recognition sensor is manufactured using the characteristics of liquid conductivity. In terms of experiments, between traditional soil-grown lettuce and container-less cabin-grown lettuce under the intelligent control system of soil-less cultivation yields comparative data and results. It is found that intelligent soilless cultivation is superior to traditional soil cultivation in terms planting effects, which reflects the effectiveness of the intelligent soil-less cultivation proposed in this paper.

Ambient acoustic event assistive framework for identification, detection, and recognition of unknown acoustic events of a residence

In recent times, Ambient Assisted Living has emerged as Smart Living. Smart living is a subset of ambient intelligence, which uses the latest technologies, intellectual processes, and ambient intelligent methodologies to enable house residents to live independently with a virtual companion 24 × 7. Typically, these residents are highly engrossed in the daily routine activities that they tend to ignore certain acoustic events attributing them to the white noise caused due to tap water leakage, flush water leakage, the acoustics of door opening/closing, cupboard opening/closing, curtain opening/closing, television, shower, radio, chair and many more. These unattended events lead to a waste of critical energy resources such as electricity, water, and gas and may cause accidents in some cases. For the conducted experiments, a customized dataset termed as “unknown-2000” and ESC-50 has been used, which has more than 2000 audio sound classification samples. The customized dataset is used for the conducted experiments, consisting of various length acoustic events ranging from 2 s to 10 s. In the proposed review, we have identified, analyzed, and evaluated resident acoustic events using Librosa machine learning libraries, texture analysis using LBP methodology, LSTM-CNN, SVM, KNN, LSTM, Bi-LSTM, and Decision Tree-based classification approaches. Furthermore, in the proposed approach, based on the conducted rigorous and detailed analysis, we are also envisioning the prospective ways to enhance smart living concepts by proposing a novel Acoustic Event Detection and Classification System. The investigation results validate the success of the proposed approach. The obtained results indicate that the customized version of the LSTM-CNN based classification approach used in the conducted experiment has outperformed all the other customized classification approaches, such as SVM, KNN-based classification, C4.5 decision tree-based classification, LSTM, and Bi-LSTM based classification. The LSTM-CNN based classification model has achieved an average value of approximately 0.77 and a standard deviation of 0.2295. Furthermore, the obtained experiential results show that the proposed approach has produced a good performance in various noisy conditions such as SNR0, SNR3, SNR6, SNR9, SNR12, and SNR15. The system classification accuracy has been enhanced to 77% for various acoustic events of a residence. In the end, a detailed comparison of LBP and without LBP approaches has been carried out, which proves that the combination of LBP and LSTM-CNN classification approach provides better results than without the LBP classification approach. The proposed Ambient Acoustic Event Assistive Framework is a cost-effective alternative due to the use of low-cost microphone sensors in the conducted experiments.
