虽然智慧城市有潜力通过传感器和执行器实时监测和控制城市，但从孤立的智慧城市实验发展到真实的大规模部署，还有一条重要的道路要走。重要的研究问题仍然是如何和哪些无线技术应该建立连接城市，数据应该如何分析，以及如何评估用户对应用程序的接受程度。在本文中，我们介绍了物联网城市测试平台，这是一个位于比利时安特卫普市的智能城市测试平台，旨在解决这些问题。它允许在技术和用户层面设置和验证新的智慧城市实验。City of Things由多无线技术网络基础设施、轻松执行数据实验的能力以及验证实验的实验室方法组成。与其他智能城市测试平台相比，物联网城市包含一种集成方法，允许在三个不同的层面进行实验：网络，数据和生活实验室，同时支持各种无线技术。我们概述了物联网城市架构，解释了研究人员如何进行智慧城市实验，并通过空气质量案例研究来说明这一点。
While smart cities have the potential to monitor and control the city in real-time through sensors and actuators, there is still an important road ahead to evolve from isolated smart city experiments to real large-scale deployments. Important research questions remain on how and which wireless technologies should be setup for connecting the city, how the data should be analysed and how the acceptance by users of applications can be assessed. In this paper we present the City of Things testbed, which is a smart city testbed located in the city of Antwerp, Belgium to address these questions. It allows the setup and validation of new smart city experiments both at a technology and user level. City of Things consists of a multi-wireless technology network infrastructure, the capacity to easily perform data experiments on top and a living lab approach to validate the experiments. In comparison to other smart city testbeds, City of Things consists of an integrated approach, allowing experimentation on three different layers: networks, data and living lab while supporting a wide range of wireless technologies. We give an overview of the City of Things architecture, explain how researchers can perform smart city experiments and illustrate this by a case study on air quality.
