The territories that adopt the sensoring era can take advantage of this disruptive technology to improve the quality of mobility of their citizens and the rationalization of their resources. However, with this rapid development of smart terminals and infrastructures, as well as the proliferation of diversified applications, even current networks may not be able to completely meet quickly rising human mobility demands. Thus, they are facing many challenges and to cope with these challenges, different standards and projects have been proposed so far. Accordingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been utilized as a new paradigm for the design and optimization of mobile networks with a high level of intelligence. The objective of this work is to identify and discuss the challenges of mobile networks, alongside IoT and AI, to characterize smart human mobility and to discuss some workable solutions to these challenges. Finally, based on this discussion, we propose paths for future smart human mobility researches.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/smartcities4020046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]],"date-time":"2021-06-10T03:48:08Z","timestamp":1623296888000},"page":"894-918","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":19,"title":["Mobile Networks and Internet of Things Infrastructures to Characterize Smart Human Mobility"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9967-2680","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Rosa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ALGORITMI Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9872-7117","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"F\u00e1bio","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ALGORITMI Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"},{"name":"CIICESI, School of Management and Technology, Polit\u00e9cnico do Porto, 4610-156 Felgueiras, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7796-644X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cesar","family":"Analide","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ALGORITMI Centre, Department of Informatics, University of Minho, 4710-057 Braga, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Aquilani, B., Piccarozzi, M., Abbate, T., and Codini, A.
