Workshop on Big Data Analytics in CPS: Enabling the Move from IoT to Real-Time Control 2015
Smart cities represent a new frontier in cyber-physical systems where human factors become critical alongside technical concerns. This work is innovative because it explicitly addresses the challenge of integrating human decision-making with CPS through city hub frameworks that bridge sensing, computing, and human interfaces. The approach recognizes that effective smart city deployment requires understanding human behavior and preferences alongside technical system design.
This position paper explores opportunities for integrating human-cyber-physical systems at scale, focusing on smart city applications. The work proposes smart city hub frameworks that enable interaction between human operators and cyber-physical infrastructure through decision support systems. The paper discusses challenges of collecting sensor data, managing heterogeneous networks, and designing interfaces that support human decision-making in large-scale CPS.
The paper presents a conceptual framework for smart city hubs supporting integration of transportation, emergency management, and public safety systems. The approach demonstrates feasibility through a Nashville metropolitan transportation scenario where city hubs facilitate information sharing and decision support. Results show potential for improving urban system efficiency through integrated human-CPS interaction.
