Towards Smart-City Implementation for Crisis Management in Fast-Growing and Unplanned Cities: the Colombian Scenario

Resumen

Natural or human-made disasters could do huge damage in urban areas and eventually could take lives. It is fundamental to get knowledge of the event’s characteristics to dispose of hasty information to help affected people or to prevent all the citizens from the danger zone, and then it will get time to respond to the crisis. Internet of Things (IoT) has a big impact on this kind of situation because a large amount of data through different devices could provide information about the situation, and about the people that are involved in the crisis. In a disaster, one of the big problems adding to the principal crisis is the disinformation, for that reason is necessary to have available and trusty data in case of disaster, also to know the data that provided the information system. To inform the affected people around the crisis event, there is exist some previous works that have used data from sensors, social networks text, or images, to finally be processed [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8]. This paper aims to review study-cases where cities implement crisis management platforms, focus on IoT environment where applications use hybrid data to be processed to help citizens in a crisis situation.

Los desastres naturales o provocados por el hombre podrían causargrandes daños en las áreas urbanas y eventualmente podrían cobrarvidas. Es fundamental conocer las características del evento para disponerde rápida respuesta para ayudar a las personas afectadas o para evitarque todos los ciudadanos salgan de la zona de peligro, y luego setendrá tiempo de responder a la crisis. El internet de las cosas (IoT)tiene un gran impacto en este tipo de situaciones porque con una grancantidad de datos a través de diferentes dispositivos podrían brindarinformación suficiente sobre la situación y sobre las personas involucradasen medio de la crisis. En un desastre, uno de los grandes problemas esla desinformación, por eso es necesario tener datos confiables en casode desastre, y disponer de una infraestructura capáz de responder enun estado de emergencia. Para informar a las personas afectadas sobreel evento de crisis, existen algunos trabajos previos que han utilizadodatos de sensores, texto de redes sociales o imágenes, para finalmente serprocesados [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8]. Este documento tiene como objetivorevisar los casos de estudio donde las ciudades implementan plataformasde gestión de crisis, y se centra en el entorno de IoT donde las aplicacionesutilizan datos híbridos para ser procesados y ayudar a los ciudadanos enuna situación de crisis.
