ABSTRACT
Current development of information technology offers a wide number of possible data collection approaches, but it is often limited by economic or legal barriers. Cities in Slovakia have a wide range of possible data sources available concerning their inhabitants, services and properties. However, targeted data collection is often lacking when it comes to transport. Larger cities face problems related to traffic congestion and safety, where data of sufficient quality is essential for managing traffic flows and monitoring the condition of roads and parking. This paper focuses on analyzing experience from other countries that use IoT devices to collect data in the field of transport. The goal is to provide inspiration and guidelines for the effective collection of relevant data in Slovak cities. The introduction of these technologies could contribute to better traffic management, increased traffic safety and more efficient use of parking capacities, which would significantly contribute to the development of smart and sustainable cities in Slovakia.
Key words: IoT. City transport. Data sources. Data-based decision making.
