Adaptive traffic signals
Mobility Systems · SCADA and Control Systems
Signal systems that adjust timing in response to observed traffic and operating conditions, with safety and policy rules still set by the agency.
Read entry →Autonomous vehicles in urban mobility
Mobility Systems · Autonomous Systems
Automated driving systems use onboard sensing, software, and vehicle controls to perform parts of the driving task within a defined operating domain.
Read entry →Building management systems
Smart Buildings · Digital Infrastructure
Integrated controls and monitoring for building services such as heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and energy use.
Read entry →City sensor networks
Sensors & Perception · IoT & Connectivity
A city sensor network turns measurements from distributed devices into a shared operational view. It can support planning and service delivery when location, time, device identity, data quality, and access rules are managed together.
Read entry →Civic digital identity and access
Digital Government · Data Governance
Identity and access services can simplify public transactions while creating high-stakes privacy, exclusion, and security responsibilities.
Read entry →Connected streetlighting systems
Digital Infrastructure · IoT & Connectivity
Networked controllers can help cities monitor streetlight energy use, operating status, and maintenance needs when measurements and service responsibilities are well defined.
Read entry →Connectivity infrastructure for cities
IoT & Connectivity · Digital Infrastructure
Urban connectivity combines fiber, cellular, Wi-Fi, private radio, and low-power networks so infrastructure and public services can exchange data reliably.
Read entry →Digital curb and parking management
Mobility Systems · Public Realm
Curb inventories, regulations, permits, sensors, and payment records can help cities allocate limited street space.
Read entry →Digital twins for urban infrastructure
Digital Infrastructure · GIS & Digital Twins
A city digital twin links a maintained digital representation of physical assets or places with operational, design, or simulation data for a defined use.
Read entry →District energy networks
Utilities Infrastructure · Energy Systems
District networks distribute heating or cooling among multiple buildings and can coordinate generation, storage, and demand.
Read entry →Drones for municipal operations
Autonomous Systems · Sensors & Perception
Uncrewed aircraft can collect imagery and measurements for selected inspection and emergency tasks when flight, privacy, and safety rules are met.
Read entry →Edge computing for city systems
Digital Infrastructure · IoT & Connectivity
Edge computing places some processing near devices or networks to reduce response time, bandwidth use, or dependence on a central service.
Read entry →Intelligent transport systems
Mobility Systems · Digital Infrastructure
ITS connects traffic management, traveler information, transit priority, and incident response under transport-agency control.
Read entry →IoT sensors for urban services
Sensors & Perception · IoT & Connectivity
Connected sensors measure conditions across streets, buildings, utilities, and public spaces; their value depends on calibration, coverage, and an operating team able to use the data.
Read entry →LiDAR and perception systems for cities
Sensors & Perception · Mobility Systems
LiDAR measures distance with laser pulses and can produce three-dimensional point clouds used in mapping, inspection, and mobility perception.
Read entry →Municipal open-data portals
Digital Infrastructure · Data Governance
Public catalogs expose selected city datasets with metadata, licenses, and downloadable or API access.
Read entry →Privacy-preserving urban sensing
Sensors & Perception · Data Governance
Purpose limitation, local processing, aggregation, and retention controls reduce what city sensing reveals about individuals.
Read entry →Private 5G networks for urban systems
IoT & Connectivity · Digital Infrastructure
A private 5G network dedicates radio and core-network resources to an organization or site, but coverage, device support, spectrum, and operating costs determine its practical value.
Read entry →SCADA and control systems in city infrastructure
SCADA and Control Systems · Utilities Infrastructure
Supervisory control and data acquisition systems monitor and control distributed infrastructure such as water, energy, and transport assets under defined operating rules.
Read entry →Smart building systems in urban districts
Smart Buildings · Digital Infrastructure
Smart buildings connect control systems, meters, and facilities workflows to manage indoor conditions, energy, maintenance, and resilience.
Read entry →Smart energy systems for cities
Utilities Infrastructure · Energy Systems
Smart energy systems coordinate measurement, control, storage, and flexible demand across buildings, distribution grids, and local generation.
Read entry →Smart waste collection systems
Public Realm · IoT & Connectivity
Fill-level sensors, fleet systems, and route planning can help schedule collection when they fit sanitation workflows.
Read entry →Smart water network monitoring
Utilities Infrastructure · Sensors & Perception
Meters, pressure and flow sensors, communications, and utility analysis used to spot unusual conditions across a water distribution network.
Read entry →Urban air-quality monitoring networks
Environmental Systems · Sensors & Perception
Networks combine reference instruments, lower-cost sensors, siting plans, calibration, and public interpretation.
Read entry →Urban data platforms
Digital Infrastructure · Data Governance
An urban data platform connects selected municipal, utility, building, and sensor data under defined access, quality, and governance rules.
Read entry →Urban flood monitoring and warning
Climate Resilience · Sensors & Perception
Rainfall, water-level, drainage, terrain, and forecast data support warnings and field response when uncertainty is explicit.
