Smart Lamppost Asset Marketplace

In the development of smart cities, the integration of IoT assets presents countless opportunities to enhance data-driven process efficiency, improve service delivery, and contribute to creating livable, sustainable, and inclusive urban environments. The multifunctional device known as the Smart Lamppost, which combines sensors, cameras, EV-charging stations, and other functions, helps develop modern urban infrastructure. The implementation process of smart lampposts revealed legitimate challenges related to privacy, ethics, ownership, standards, and interdependencies.

The Smart Lamppost Asset Marketplace (SLAM) addresses these challenges with a two-step approach aimed at developing transparency and trust within the smart city ecosystem. SLAM offers a trusted, catalogue of validated sensor suppliers, crucial for effectively monitoring and managing the smart city value chain. Through this catalogue and the City Support Centre, organisations gain a centralised hub for managing contracts, SLAs, and data streams.

SLAM leverages FIWARE Context Broker to harmonise data and the iSHARE Trust Framework for a trusted secure framework for data sharing between the stakeholders involved in smart lampposts. The iSHARE policies allow data owners to control access to their data, granting permissions to different consumers within a trusted environment created with the iSHARE specifications.
