Civil Engineering 1 Smart Liveable Cities The discussion is focused to introduce the Smart Liveable Cities concept with the help of illustrative examples in relation to engineering infrastructures. While exploring the real-life examples of smart cities in order to explore how global cities can be transitioned into the near future, engineering infrastructures like liveability, water, energy, and transport will be taken into main consideration. To do so, this discussion is focused on the chosen smart city such as Newcastle, which is a port city of the popular Australian state New South Wales (NSW) (Miller, 2017). Here, the main engineering infrastructure smart examples for the following engineering infrastructure fields will be provided: Transport Energy Liveability Water Improved Transport in City of Newcastle In the field of improved smart city transport of Newcastle, an engineering infrastructure smart example is a driverless public shuttle. Recently, City of Newcastle has welcomed the arrival of their first driverless vehicle. This driverless vehicle has a total capacity of 11 persons and met the entire national and local legislation as well as regulations for ensuring it met all safety standards. This vehicle is fully automated however one can stop the driverless vehicle through an override system whenever required. I believe that this driverless public shuttle is an example of smart transport in the city of Newcastle because of the following reasons: This smart vehicle’s in-built sensing and computer systems are capable of detecting hurdles and obstacles effectively. This vehicle is capable to anticipate movements and thereby evaluatethe risk of collision to another vehicle or any other object. Finally, the chosen example of smart transport in Newcastle is capable to mitigate the risks associated with those of human-controlled vehicles.
