英国标准协会(BSI)为制定提供智慧城市解决方案的项目提案发布了一项新的指南,。英国和世界其他国家的许多城市都在考虑如何打造智慧城市,通过开放城市信息和数据,城市领导可以提供更优质的服务,让市民做出更明智的决定。
“PAS 184 智慧城市”—-制定智慧城市解决方案的项目提案—-是一个指南,该指南概述了如何在智慧城市项目层面应该如何应用开发项目中覆盖全市的战略方法。
该指南概述了当前构建智慧城市的最佳实践,由大批从事开发智慧城市解决方案的国营部门、私营企业以及志愿者组织的相关从业人员进行认证。PAS 184采用案例研究的方法来举例说明智慧城市在采购方面的最佳实践,并为智慧城市项目建立财务稳健的可行性商业案例。
PAS 184涉及各种项目,包括采购和技术部分。最近启用的PAS 183是一套建设智慧城市的决策框架的指南,用于共享数据和信息服务。
新指南的规划特别有利于国营部门、私营企业以及社区组织的领导开展工作,面向地方和市政当局项目官员和专员以及提供相关支持的高级经理人和采购专家。
PAS 184是与城市标准协会(City Standards Institute, CSI)共同合作制定的标准,这个机构由英国标准协会(BSI)和未来城市发展机构(Future Cities Catapult)共同负责运作,为城市及其合作伙伴建立一个以标准为基础的最佳实践社区。
BSI的生产主管丹.帕尔默(Dan Palmer)表示:“制定PAS 184是为了尽可能地简化智慧城市解决方案的交付过程。与常规方法相比,我们很难展示创新方法的性价比有多高,这是制定智慧城市项目中其中一个最大障碍。PAS提供了常识性指导,帮助市领导制定项目提案,将智慧城市解决方案付诸实践。
PAS最新发布的指南包括PAS 180,181,182和183,其中分别定义了智慧城市术语、智慧城市框架、智慧城市概念模型以及共享数据和信息。
PAS 184中并没提及如何进一步开拓智慧城市的视野、战略和运作模式,即不为特定的智慧城市项目打造专属理想环境。PAS 181中也论述到这一点,并强调了相关联系。本指南还不涉及如果智慧城市解决方案脱离了项目开发,加入到城市常规运作的生产运营中,如何管理实施进程。
以下组织以指导小组成员的身份参与到制定PAS 184:阿伯丁市议会、英国基础设施支持公司(AMEY)、英国奥雅纳工程顾问公司、伯明翰市议会、爱丁堡市议会、城市标准协会(CSI)、CS改革、社会变革设计(D4SC)、IBM、利兹市议会、英国国家测绘局、彼得堡市议会、斯劳自治市镇委员会、SmartKlub和UrbanDNA。
Smart cities guide for developing project proposals launched
BSI, the business standards company, has launched a new guide for developing project proposals for delivering smart city solutions. Many cities in the UK and internationally are looking at how to develop as smart cities; by opening up information and data in a city, city-leaders can help provide better services and allow citizens to make more informed decisions.
PAS 184 Smart Cities – Developing project proposals for delivering smart city solutions – is a guide outlining how a city-wide, strategic-level approach to the development of a smart city programme should be applied at the level of an individual smart city project.
The guide outlines current good practice as identified by a broad range of public, private and voluntary sector practitioners engaged in developing smart city solutions. PAS 184 uses case studies to illustrate good practice in smart city procurement and creating viable, financially robust business cases for smart city projects.
PAS 184 is relevant to projects of all sorts – including ones involving procurement and a technology component. It follows recently launched PAS 183, a guide to establishing a smart cities decision-making framework for sharing data and information services.
Designed to be particularly beneficial to city leaders – from the public, private and community sectors – the new guide is targeted at project officers and commissioners on services within local and city authorities, their senior managers and the procurement specialists who support them.
PAS 184 was developed in conjunction with the Cities Standards Institute. The Cities Standards Institute is a collaboration between BSI and the Future Cities Catapult to create a standards-based community of good practice for cities and the companies they work with.
Dan Palmer, Head of Manufacturing at BSI, said: “PAS 184 was created to make the process for delivering smart city solutions as easy as possible. One of the biggest barriers to setting up new smart city projects is the difficulty of showing how an innovative approach can provide better value for money than the business-as-usual approach. This PAS provides common-sense guidance to help city leaders to develop project proposals in order to make smart city solutions a reality.”
The latest guide is part of a wider suit of PASs, including PAS 180, 181, 182, and 183 – guides which define the vocabulary terms for smart cities, a smart city framework, a smart city concept model, and for sharing data and information, respectively.
PAS 184 does not cover how to develop the broader vision, strategy, and operating model for a smart city that is provides the optimal context for any specific smart city project – this is dealt with in PAS 181, and relevant linkages are highlighted through this PAS. This guide also does not cover how to manage the ongoing operation of a smart city solution once it has moved out of project development and into live running as part of a business-as-usual operation of the city.
The following organizations were involved in the development of PAS 184 as members of the steering group: Aberdeen City Council; AMEY; Arup; Birmingham City Council; City of Edinburgh Council; City Standards Institute (CSI); CS Transform; Design for Social Change (D4SC); IBM; Leeds City Council; Ordnance Survey; Peterborough City Council; Slough Borough Council; SmartKlub; and Urban DNA.
