b) risk and vulnerability assessments;

The violent crime rate reported seems to be significantly high; however, small a change in actual crimes
can have a larger effect on the rate in a smaller population centre like Ålesund. More research into the
rate and the comparability of the rate to other population centres is probably the first step to be taken
towards ensuring that crimes are similarly categorized. This may also be the reason for low benchmark
scores for the other Safety KPIs; this being so, more research is most likely the first step to see if the
benchmark levels are indeed appropriate for Ålesund.
ITU Recommendations such as Recommendation ITU-T Y.4116: ‘Requirements of transportation safety
services including use cases and service scenarios’ and Recommendation ITU-T Y.4119: ‘Requirements
and capability framework for IoT-based automotive emergency response system’ can help make smart
sustainable cities safer and more prepared.
