Bristol, UK has become a pilot city for smart city technology. The Bristol Is Open project is a life laboratory in the development of the Internet of Things.
By 2050, the world's population will reach 9 billion, and urban residents will account for 75%. About 80% of the UK's population lives in urban areas, so the UK needs to ensure that cities adapt to the digital age. Smart cities help create an efficient, sustainable, cleaner environment, a higher quality of life and a thriving economy.
To this end, the Bristol Is Open (BIO) joint venture between Bristol University and Bristol City collaborates with industry, universities, local communities and local and national government agencies. Bristol Is Open ( ) is pushing this southwestern city of England with a population of 500,000 to become the world's first programmable city.
Bristol will be an open testing ground for the vibrant new industrial Internet of Things (part of the smart city infrastructure) market. The Bristol Is Open project uses Xilinx All Programmable FPGA devices in many development and deployment areas.
Smart City Vision Smart cities use information and communication networks and Internet technologies to solve urban problems with the goal of dramatically improving livability and resource sustainability. Forecasts show that [1], the global smart city industry will have a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars by 2020, and the UK is expected to account for at least 10%, or 40 billion US dollars. The UK government's investment in smart cities includes: $150 million for smart city research activities funded by the UK Research Council; $79 million for the new Future Urban Development Center established by the Technology Strategy Committee in London within five years; $52 million in demonstration project investments; and $63 million in recent investments in IoT research and demonstration projects.
Bristol Is Open is demonstrating a test platform for building a city-scale research and innovation. The goal is to drive digital innovation in smart cities of the future: making the open, programmable community the standard for the next 50 years of the 21st century.
The BIO test platform is equipped with industry-leading programmable networking technology and uses a city-wide operating system called NetOS that allows smart city applications to interact with the city infrastructure to program, virtualize and tailor network functions for Best performance. Xilinx devices can be used as high-performance general-purpose platforms for many nodes in the city, including wired, wireless, and IoT network infrastructure and simulation facilities.
Let's take a look at this new urban community. Let's take a look at the overall vision of a programmable city. Then, we'll dive into how the Bristol project uses Xilinx devices to build urban “white boxes†and provide a variety of networking capabilities.
