In terms of mobility the cities that embrace the sensoring era can take advantage of this disruptive technology to improve the quality of life of their citizens, also thanks to the rationalization in the use of their resources. In Sii-Mobility, a national smart city project on mobility and transportation, a flexible platform has been designed and here, in this paper, is presented. It permits one to set up heterogeneous and complex scenarios that integrate sensors\/actuators as IoT\/IoE in an overall Big Data, Machine Learning and Data Analytics scenario. A detailed and complex case-study has been presented to validate the solution in the context of a system that dynamically reverse the traveling direction of a road segment, with all the safety conditions in place. This case study composes several building blocks of the IoT platform, which demonstrate that a flexible and dynamic set-up is possible, supporting security, safety, local, cloud and mixed solutions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19010001","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,20]],"date-time":"2018-12-20T12:54:36Z","timestamp":1545310476000},"page":"1","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Sii-Mobility: An IoT\/IoE Architecture to Enhance Smart City Mobility and Transportation Services"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9343-7065","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Claudio","family":"Badii","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, DISIT Lab, University of Florence, 3, 50139 Florence, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8167-1003","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pierfrancesco","family":"Bellini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, DISIT Lab, University of Florence, 3, 50139 Florence, Italy"}]},{"given":"Angelo","family":"Difino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, DISIT Lab, University of Florence, 3, 50139 Florence, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1044-3107","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Nesi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Engineering, DISIT Lab, University of Florence, 3, 50139 Florence, Italy"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Su, K., Li, J., and Fu, H.
