Abstract

A smart technology can sense its environment and perform tasks through complex non-conventional reasoning. This leads to subjective and fashionable classifications of technologies as “smart” or “not smart”. Undoubtedly, technologies such as vehicle cruise controllers could have been considered as smart in the past but are now too conventional to be considered as such (Santacana and Rackliffe in Power and Energy, 41–48, 2010). A smart parking technology using RFID technology to check in and check out vehicles (Pala and Inanç in Smart parking applications using RFID technology. 2007 1st Annual RFID Eurasia, 2007) is now very conventional. Complex reasoning is subjective to evaluate, and a general requirement is that smart technology should be able to perform its task which is thought to require human intelligence.
