Abstract

The population growth and economic development increase the need for mobility. As consequences, we can mention the environmental impact of CO2 emissions and that the road accidents are among the top 10 causes of death worldwide. As a solution to this problem, the concept of Intelligent Transportation Systems emerged. Part of this concept is smart city approach, consisting in a combination of Internet of Things and Information and Communication Technology to manage city issues. After 2014, a lot of regulations were established by the European Parliament, regarding smart city concept implementation. The purpose of this paper is to present a comparison between the implementation of smart city approach in different locations from Romania.
