This document summarizes Roberto Minerva's presentation on how smart cars and cultural heritage can work together. It discusses how smart transportation systems and cities will be complex systems. Smart cars could provide on-board information, compelling stories, and gamification to transform tourism. Communication needs for smart cars include short and long range sensors, data exchange, and involvement in networks. Services and applications could include augmented reality, mobile edge computing, and crowdsensing apps. The document provides examples of how smart cars could act as hubs for media, security, and cultural heritage information to enhance the tourist experience.

When you see tourist attractions, aren’t you
curious to know the story behind?
Do you know anything about these places?
Do you what you miss?

Source: wikipedia
Est! Est!! Est!!! di Montefiascone (also known as
just Est! Est!! Est!!!) is an Italian wine region centered
on the commune of Montefiascone in province of
Viterbo in Lazio. Since 1966, the white Trebbiano-
and Malvasia bianca-based wines produced within the
1,000 acres (400 ha) of the region can qualify
for Denominazione di origine controllata (DOC)
designation under Italian wine laws.[1]
The unusual name of the wine region dates back to a
12th-century tale of a German Bishop traveling to
the Vatican for a meeting with the Pope. The Bishop
sent a prelate ahead of him to survey the villages along
the route for the best wines. The 'wine scout' had
instructions to write 'Est' (Latin for 'There is') on the
door or on the wall of the inns he visited when he was
particularly impressed with the quality of the wine they
served so the Bishop following on his trail would have
known in advance where to make a stop. At a
Montefiascone inn, the prelate was reportedly so
overwhelmed with the local wine that he wrote Est! Est!!
Est!!! on the door.

10. Two Considerations
 Transportation Systems and Smart City will be complex systems
 Michael Batty in “Cities as Complex Systems: Scaling, Interactions,
Networks, Dynamics and Urban Morphologies” available at
http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/15183/1/15183.pdf
 Luis Bettencourt: Cities as Complex Systems available at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTZ6onbPjWk
 Heterogeneity: diversity of people and Organizations
 Interconnectivity: Everything is connected in Networks
 Scaling: Cities of different sizes have different problems
 Circular - Causality: Cause and Effect are mixed
 Development: Cities change in open-ended ways
 Smart Cars could be means to “transform” the tourism paradigm
 On board information
 Compelling stories
 Gamification of the visits
 Socialization and sharing of experience

11. An Example in Intelligent Systems: Automotive
Communication Scenarios (CALM)
11
• Plenty of communication needs
(short and long range from
sensors communication to IPv6
up to 5G)
• Local and remote data exchange
and processing
• Needed involvement of Vehicle in
communication and processing
• Useful V2V communication
• Need to create applications useful
for the specific class of users:
tourists, commuter, special needs,
…
• Strong integration with Point of
Interest and need to inform people
coming from “outside” of rules
and obligations of the
environments and also about
“habits”

have spatial coordinates
 There is a «Nearby search
