An integrated smart city platform: sensors and city systems feeding a central data platform that runs the command centre and citizen services.
How an adaptive traffic system uses cameras and sensors to time signals, spot congestion and catch violations.
How a city approves building plans online with automated checks: submission, auto-scrutiny against bye-laws, department NOCs and sanction.
A map of the main areas city planners work on and the data and systems behind each one.
How a smart parking system guides a driver to a free space: sensors, a parking app, reservation, entry by number plate and automatic payment.
How a city optimises garbage collection: bin fill-level sensors, truck GPS, route planning and citizen complaints.
