Summary/Abstract: Current development of information technology offers a wide number of possible datacollection approaches, but it is often limited by economic or legal barriers. Cities in Slovakiahave a wide range of possible data sources available concerning their inhabitants, services andproperties. 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 sufficientquality is essential for managing traffic flows and monitoring the condition of roads andparking. This paper focuses on analyzing experience from other countries that use IoT devicesto collect data in the field of transport. The goal is to provide inspiration and guidelines for theeffective collection of relevant data in Slovak cities. The introduction of these technologiescould contribute to better traffic management, increased traffic safety and more efficient use ofparking capacities, which would significantly contribute to the development of smart andsustainable cities in Slovakia.
