ON A DEMONSTRATIVE MODEL OF A SMART CITY

Abstract

This paper offers an application of the Fibonacci sequence in developing a
demonstrative model for a 3-levels smart city. The model is thought to gather data from the
world through a sensor network, to store and process the data into a kernel (brain of the city)
and to expose through services the processed data. In the idea of an existing city with a given
architecture (streets and buildings), the paper intends to develop a model of intelligent
infrastructure based on the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence is defined as a
homogeneous linear recurrence relation with constant coefficients. Some theorems and
identities in the field of number theory regarding the properties of Fibonacci numbers are
introduced and discussed. These features in the design of a smart city demonstrate not only
the universal nature of the Fibonacci sequence, but also the aesthetic nature of God.
