What is ISO 37155‑2 about?
ISO 37155 is about smart community infrastructures. ISO 37155 discusses the framework for the integration and operation of smart community infrastructures. ISO 37155‑2 is the second part of the multi-series on the framework for integration and operation of smart community infrastructures. ISO 37155‑2 describes interactions of smart community infrastructures (interactions between multiple infrastructures, between infrastructures and stakeholders, and between infrastructures and the external environment).
ISO 37155‑2 provides the framework for the integration and operation of smart community infrastructures that aim to ensure consistency among different systems consisting of smart community infrastructures. The scope of ISO 37155 does not overlap with any existing works that are developed or being developed at the existing TCs addressing issues at an individual infrastructure level.
Note: ISO 37155‑2 describes a management case (not a management system), i.e., specific processes that an organization needs to follow to meet specific objectives.
Who is ISO 37155‑2 for?
ISO 37155‑2 on smart community infrastructures is useful for:
- Leaders of urban areas
- Policy developers in city authorities
- Government bodies
- Municipal authorities
- Infrastructure developers
- Smart community infrastructure developers
Why should you use ISO 37155‑2?
The “smart community” approach is an important concept to address the urban challenges by integrating different forms of infrastructures rationally and efficiently. An important aspect of a smart community is integrating infrastructures as “a system of systems”.
ISO 37155‑2 provides the guideline to validate and allocate procedures, providing guidelines for specifications. This ensures consistency for smart community infrastructure. This also lets you adopt adequate measures into planning and operation. ISO 37155‑2 describes the framework for integration and operation of smart community infrastructures (a set of processes and methodologies) for these interactions to ensure the consistency of smart community infrastructures is well identified and managed.
There are two potential use cases provided in ISO 37155‑2. The first is for the greenfield site, where all the smart community infrastructures can be designed and developed at the same time. This is of value to planners and investors of major new infrastructure developments. The second is for the brownfield site builds on the first and will support efficient management of an existing urban area by considering the increasing interdependencies of the infrastructures on each other and the way they should be managed as a system of systems.
ISO 37155‑2 shows you how to plan the infrastructure for smart cities.
