Abstract: Over the past few years, there has been a rapid growth of information and communication technologies (ICT) due to improved hardware and software development. The use of ICT in cities in various forms for various urban activities has led to increased urban efficiency, and these cities have been referred to by many terms, such as "cyberville", "digital city", "electronic city", "flexibility". , “Information city”, “telicity”, “leading city” and “smart city” [1]. Smart city is the largest abstraction among the labels used, as it encompasses other labels used for cities. Smart city is a concept, and there is still no clear and consistent definition of this concept among scholars and practitioners. In the classical sense, the infrastructure of the city is any physical component of the city, such as roads, buildings and bridges, which provide work for the city and its inhabitants. However, in the context of smart cities, everything physical, electrical and digital that is the basis of a smart city can be considered as its infrastructure [2]. Smart infrastructure consists of many levels that can be represented as: sensor systems, firmware, software and middleware [3]. "Intermediate software" is a specific type of software that typically plays a crucial role in automating and responding quickly to smart infrastructure, it collects data and integrates it into a common model for analytics and reporting. Such software in the process can perform a web display of the dashboard for a visual snapshot of the infrastructure. Therefore, this paper describes the process of creating an autonomous system to enable the administration of urban structures to effectively aggregate data from various existing subsystems, as well as partially simplifies the management of these subsystems to better respond to emergencies. The system proposed in this paper combines not only the subsystems that are integrated into the developed network, but also a variety of modern solutions for cloud services and storage and analysis of "Big Data". Providers include Amazon Web Services, as a provider of computing power and structural ecosystem services, and Cisco Intersight, as a provider of large amounts of data in the form of dynamic objects. The object of the study is the possibility of creating an autonomous system that allows the city administration to effectively aggregate data from various existing subsystems, as well as partial simplification of data subsystem management to better respond to emergencies. The scope of the study - systematization and analysis of data on existing systems created within similar concepts, market analysis for ready-made solutions and the possibility of their application, comparing approaches to possible solutions to the problem and choosing the best solution in terms of ease of implementation, operation, support, expansion and the economic benefits of creating the proposed solution. The purpose of the study is to create an autonomous system that allows the administration of urban structures to effectively aggregate data from various existing subsystems, as well as a partial simplification of data management subsystems to better respond to emergencies The results of the study - considered the features of the system in the concept of "SmartCity", analyzed trends in urbanization and problems that arise during the development of smart infrastructure of the city, analyzed the architecture of the developed system. The methodology of development and analysis of possible service providers for the deployment of the system in the "cloud" is presented, an example of generating a dynamic data object on the example of one of the streets of Lviv. The main aspects of the system development process and substantiation of the chosen structure of the management system within the framework of the implemented concept are described. The implemented system, its components and possibilities for city infrastructure management are described. Feasibility study of building a fragment of the system is carried out.
