The rapid development of the Internet and information technology – coupled with the utilization of big data, cloud platforms, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other related technologies – has facilitated the transformation of the “Smart City” from its inception in the United States under the name “Smart Earth” into the preferred architectural style and development trend in contemporary urban areas.

A “Smart City” is a city that applies information and communication technology (ICT) to collect, analyze, and integrate key data about urban operations, and uses this data to intelligently address various issues, such as industrial and commercial activities, public safety, urban services, and the well-being of the people.

In this article, we will explore how real-time location systems (RTLS) are modernizing smart cities by providing accurate and timely location information for people and assets, and how RTLS can enable new applications and benefits for smart city stakeholders.
