Overview

The IEC SRD 63188:2022 - Smart Cities Reference Architecture Methodology (SCRAM) provides a standardized methodology for creating a Smart Cities Reference Architecture (SCRA). SCRAM is a tailorable template and guide for designing architectures for practically any city system. It defines desired smart-city characteristics, a consistent set of viewpoints and corresponding model-types, and dependency matrices to promote consistency, interoperability and uniformity across smart city architectures.

Key topics

  • Methodology & data schema: Processes and a data schema for producing an SCRA and tailoring it to local contexts.
  • Problem space analysis: Problem space description, specifics and terminologies to capture city needs and contexts.
  • Stakeholders & concerns: Classification of stakeholders, stakeholder concerns, aggregated concerns, and dependency matrices linking stakeholders to the problem space.
  • Mission, vision & strategic goals: Techniques to derive mission and vision statements and map them to strategic goals and solution constraints.
  • Solution space characteristics: Solution space constraints, essential desirable characteristics and architecture principles (digital orientation, platform-enabled solutions, capabilities/functions, services/APIs, common engineering and governance practices, crosscutting aspects).
  • Viewpoints & model-types: Defined viewpoints include Value, Big Picture, System–Solution Engineering, Platform Engineering, Platform Component Engineering, Solution Engineering, Crosscutting Aspects, Corporate, Risk Management, Software Factory and Standards - each associated with specific model-types.
  • Artefacts & use cases: High-level requirements, stories, use cases, and mapping of problem space coverage to generated artefacts for implementation planning.
  • Tailoring & use: Guidance on customizing the SCRA for different city scales, domains or governance models.

Applications

SCRAM is practical for:

  • City CIOs, urban planners and municipal IT teams developing digital transformation roadmaps and interoperable city platforms.
  • Systems architects and solution integrators designing scalable, platform-oriented smart city systems.
  • Vendors and software/product teams building APIs, microservices and platform components for municipal deployments.
  • Policy makers, procurement teams and standards developers creating consistent specifications, governance models and risk-management approaches.
    Use cases include mobility systems, utilities, public safety, citizen services and cross-domain platform integration.

Practical benefits

  • Promotes consistency and reusability across smart city projects.
  • Supports alignment between stakeholder concerns, mission/vision and technical design.
  • Facilitates interoperability through shared reference architecture viewpoints and model-types.
  • Aids governance, risk management and scalable platform delivery (including software factory practices).

Related standards

SCRAM aligns with systems and IT architecture best practices and complements sectoral standards for energy, transport and communications. Users should consult applicable IEC and sector-specific standards when applying SCRA artifacts to implementations.

Keywords: Smart Cities Reference Architecture Methodology, SCRAM, SCRA, smart city architecture, reference architecture, viewpoints, model-types, stakeholders, architecture principles.

Digital solutions are accelerating the integration of real world applications in urban areas, including city governance, healthcare, environment, traffic, education, security and so on. However, many smart solutions are still implemented within single-domains. Isolated city services, data flows and data need integration. To be effective, the coordination of data and service requires an overarching framework coupled with an intelligent operations centre. The first step to identify solution options is by collecting and analysing relevant use cases.
IOC is tailored to provide urban managers, enterprises and citizens with access to operational and organized solutions. Based on city-level database and new technologies, such as big data, AI, cloud computing, blockchain etc., IOC processes city information and provides innovative services for urban managers, operators and other stakeholders. Compared with single-domain systems, IOC can better support monitoring and visualizing, decision making and cross-domain cooperation. IOC will play an important role in integrating city services such as police, health services traffic management and rescue services, including but not limited to the following methods.
a) The centralized operations dashboard and mobile application will allow real-time monitoring and information processing to improve response to emergencies.
b) The centralized and intelligent platform will enable noticeable improvements in the management of public safety, like crime prevention, emergency response, threat prevention and response, and traffic management.
c) The IOC's technologically advanced analysis, integrated communications, GPS and video surveillance capabilities will help residents and domain (energy, water, horticulture, waste and security) supervisors to collaborate in a smarter way.
d) The integrated data visualization, near real-time collaboration and deep analytics it provides will help agencies prepare for problems, coordinate and manage response efforts and enhance the efficiency of services,
e) IOC will enable residents to report issues such as broken street lights, electricity failure, water wastage, etc. and check resolution status using their mobile devices.
Currently, IOC solutions are being implemented in different cities around the world, and the stakeholders of these smart cities face similar challenges, including cross-domain cooperation, monitoring and visualizing, intelligent analysis, user-oriented experience, etc. The provision of standardization should be considered as one of key factors to support IOC development, including the development of the conceptual model, data exchange, IT infrastructures, services, and so on. This document focuses on collecting and analysing use cases from diversified areas, with the goal of developing consensus-based descriptions of IOC features and capabilities across all stakeholders, and uses this to scope out the standardization requirements related to the field of IOC.
This document is for use by authorities, solution providers, utilities, citizens, and other relevant stakeholders, to identify good practices regarding IOC, and how they can implement them.

Smart city use case collection and analysis – Water systems in smart cities – Part 1: High-level analysis

IEC SRD 63301-1:2024 provides an overview of water systems in smart cities, establishes a general approach for use case collection and analysis, and identifies major stakeholders and application areas for high-level analysis of water systems.
The construction of a smart city can create benefits for a society and its stakeholders. Water is a critical resource to support urban development and its sustainable use is recognized as a UN Sustainable Development Goal. Water infrastructure development, water management efficiency, water supply resilience, and the safe operation and use of water are important focal areas for smart cities.
This document focuses on water systems management, specifically water security whether directly from a natural source or via man-made infrastructure. Information and communications technologies (ICT) and electro-technologies can provide greater visibility and control, however their application does depend on the characteristics of individual water markets. Technology is not a panacea for resolving all issues and problems.
A gap exists in effective coordination and clear orientation and how industry and stakeholders are engaged within it.
Major stakeholders of water management and use include citizens, the water authority (government), and organizations (associations, business groups, utility companies). Each stakeholder has different and competing interests, market relationships and touch points to water system infrastructure, processes, operations, management and use.
Modelling these complex interactions into a systems architecture is a valuable exercise in understanding the issues, gaps and opportunities for sustainable water management.
This document focuses on use case collection and analysis to elicit requirements to support technical committees in preparing sustainable water management standards for cities and communities.
