Major cities around the world are looking to implement connected networks of sensors and devices across roads, traffic control, building control and water systems. These are needed to control pollution, reduce carbon emissions, reduce lost time in traffic congestion, increase productivity, reduce crime and enhance the lives of citizens. Cities such as Atlanta, Chicago, Singapore, Amsterdam, London, Glasgow, Sydney and many more are investing in pilots to trial for example smart lamp posts, which contain cameras, air sensors and microphones. At the same time, critical infrastructure operators are installing smart electricity meters and smart water meters to monitor and manage power and water usage. The goal of smart city projects is to link these diverse systems and technologies, and then to apply artificial intelligence models to be able to predict accidents, congestion, pollution events and behavior, with the aim of taking action to mitigate those outcomes.
