Definition of a smart street as smart city's building element

Smart city covers a wide range of topics. In this paper, we introduce a basic building block able to address already on a fundamental infrastructural level several of the key user functions of a smart city. This is done on a scale that can be rather easily managed. So called “smart street” is defined and introduced as a basic building block for any smart city architecture. It does not focus on transportation only (for example through signal control and management), it covers also other aspects, such as data connectivity, safety of citizens, energy consumption and many others.
