Optimized Energy Use

IoT may provide a service to monitor the energy consumption of the whole city, thus enabling authorities and citizens to get a clear and detailed view of the amount of energy required by the different services (public lighting, transportation, traffic lights, control cameras, heating/cooling of public buildings, and so on). In order to obtain this, power draw monitoring must be integrated with the power grid in the city.

 

Traffic Monitoring

Even though camera-based traffic monitoring systems are already available and deployed in many cities, low-power widespread communication can provide a denser source of information. GPS installed vehicles or collecting data from mobile devices on the route, provide realtime and fast monitoring of Traffic Congestion. This will make it faster and more reliable.

 

Waste Management:

Waste management is a primary issue in many modern cities, due to both the cost of the service and the problem of the storage of garbage in landfills. A deeper penetration of ICT solutions in this domain, however, may result in significant savings and economical and ecological advantages. For instance, the use of intelligent waste containers, which detect the level of load and allow for an optimization of the collector trucks route, can reduce the cost of waste collection and improve the quality of recycling. The use of IoT by connecting the intelligent waste containers provide optimal management of collector truck fleet.
