SMART CITY
• WHAT IS SMART CITY?
• A smart city is a technologically modern urban
area that uses different types
of electronic methods and sensors to collect
specific data. Information gained from
that data is used to manage assets, resources
and services efficiently; in return, that data is
used to improve operations across the city.
The smart city concept integrates information and
communication technology ('ICT'), and various physical
devices connected to the Internet of things ('IoT') network
to optimize the efficiency of city operations and services
and connect to citizens.
Smart city applications are developed to manage urban flows
and allow for real-time responses. A smart city may therefore be
more prepared to respond to challenges than one with a
conventional "transactional" relationship with its citizens. Yet,
the term itself remains unclear in its specifics and therefore,
open to many interpretations. Many cities have already adopted
the smart city technology.
SMART CITY TECHNOLOGIES
• Smart city devices work to make everyday
tasks easier and more efficient, while relieving
pain points related to public safety, traffic, and
environmental issues. Here are some of the
most popular smart city technologies:
SMART UTILITY METERS
• A top IoT device among utility companies is
the smart meter. These devices attach to
buildings and connect to a smart energy grid,
allowing the utility companies to manage
energy flow more effectively.
SMART TRANSPORTATION
• Connected vehicles have made their way to the
forefront of public transit—and the efforts have
already started to bear fruit. Insider Intelligence
projects US connected cars will make up 97% of
the total number of registered vehicles by 2035.
• Specifically voice search and location data
capabilities are attractive to drivers, and as
smart applications continue to evolve and grow,
so will the adoption of smart transit.
SMART GRIDS
• Arguably the greatest implementation of smart
architecture and infrastructure is smart grids, which help
tremendously with resource conservation. Amsterdam,
for example, has been experimenting with offering
home energy storage units and solar panels for
households that are connected to the city’s smart grid.
• These batteries help lower stress on the grid at peak
hours by allowing residents to store energy during off-
peak hours. The solar panels also let residents sell spare
energy from the panels back to the grid.
