smart bus stops with LCD screens that
display actual arrival times.
The city is also using seawater to cool
office buildings. Smarter water systems,
street lighting and parking technologies
alone have contributed more than $87
billion in savings and 47,000 new jobs,
the city reports.
In Charlotte, the quest for a more sustainable and economically viable future
has resulted in an intelligent building
initiative that relies on a wireless network,
smart meters and data analytics software
to crunch data and understand how to
operate HVAC and other systems more
Smart Cities at a Glance
Here's how connected technologies are reshaping cities and making them smarter and better:
upwards of 4.2 billion hours
per year globally by 2021.
Energy. Smart meters, sensors and other equipment
are already providing ways to
understand and manage usage
patterns and consumption
more effectively. However, connected homes and businesses
will allow utilities to gauge
usage far more effectively,
helping them manage fuel
purchases and rates to better
match demand. In addition,
smart systems will allow buildings to understand current
weather conditions and adapt
an HVAC system to either
warm or cool the building
using sources such as the data
center, outside air or water. In
addition, smart lighting systems and smart materials will
slash costs.
Infrastructure. Today,
a growing number of cities
around the world are using
RFID and other technologies
to tag waste receptacles and
identify when they should be
emptied. Some have introduced intelligent systems to
manage public transportation,
emergency services and urban
planning initiatives, such as
how to design buildings, transportation networks and energy
systems to deliver maximum
results and sustainability. A
few are now looking at using
video and computer algorithms
to spot crime or identify water
leaks in pipes and sewers.
Social Programs. Big
data and analytics can drive
other improvements. These
advances typically center on
education, health care and
government-managed social
programs. In addition, connected smartphones and apps
can provide real-time feedback
about behavior and support
crowdsourcing initiatives that
generate ideas and innovation
in order to guide a smart city
program.

Transportation. Already,
sensors embedded in roadways, cameras and other
devices provide real-time
monitoring and data about
traffic. Over the next few
years, connected vehicles,
smart materials and infrastructure-including connected traffic signals-will lead to deeper
insight into traffic patterns and
adjust stoplights for current
traffic conditions. Technology
will also make it possible to
optimize and integrate broader
transportation networks, such
as railroads and parking. Jupiter Research estimates smart
parking initiatives could save
