Abstract

Current technologies have created new methods of monitoring and organization of the problems in our society, in particular, those arising from the cities. In order to become more connected with the environment and to find solutions to daily problems, such as traffic, pollution or energy consumption, several research, and development projects that focus on these issues were developed. The existence of an intelligent platform for the monitoring and control of the city could be of considerable benefit in the development of the ecosystem at the level of a city. Such a platform, that proposes the development of intelligent services at the level of the towns, is CitiSim. The purpose of the CitiSim platform is to allow users to take management decisions even in critical situations or emergency, on the basis of data provided by the sensors. The expected results shall include the creation of a 3D visualization tool for the monitoring and control of the city and the use of techniques for viewing enhanced publication and reality enhanced publication. For the implementation of the details at CitiSim platform architecture has been used as middleware ZeroC Ice. The chosen programming languages for the implementation of the prototype are Java, JavaScript, and Python. The libcitisim library has been introduced into the system architecture to provide access to the lower level events of a smart city to simplify the development of new services. It will also be available the service for emergency cases simulation which will use special devices for 3D visualization and augmented reality. The devices used for visualization of 3D equipment are 3D glasses that allow you to view the models of buildings and escape routes. The development with 3D models will be done using Unity Engine that uses C# and Unity Script– a JavaScript-based language-as developing language.
