The Key Trends Making Our Smart Cities Greener, Safer And Smarter
In the modern world, the demand for safer, better, more durable solutions and technology is quickly rising. Many countries engage companies around the world to work on innovative concepts and projects that can make out lives easier. And many of us already know about smart homes. Next, we can get smart cities.
Smart Cities are a concept stating that every city should be upgraded in a way to be more sustainable and convenient for people. This can include networked sensors, data analysis, improved energy systems and so on.
More Sensors
Sensors are the core component of smart cities. These little devices will collect data necessary to deliver services to people. At the moment, smart robots can stimulate five human senses, monitor and analyze information that they receive and response to different situations. They can smell the polluted air, see the crime scene, hear gun shots and communicate it through special sensors. Based on data they get, they can make specific decisions, for example, call the police.
We already have something like that in big shopping malls: remember those cameras that can count the number of shoppers per day and even tell you how many shoppers buy sweaters or jeans? The most advanced cameras can even monitor and adjust air conditioning and lighting, and preserve energy.
Machine-to-Machine Communications
Machine-to-Machine Communications also known as the Internet of Things has been a hot topic for many years. Of course, people have been using smart phones and other devices to connect with other people and devices for a while now but the Internet of Things allows you to connect to anything, from door locks to thermostats.
Everything in your house will be connected to each other for maximum efficiency. By integrating these systems your smart home in the smart cities will be able to save on utility bills while having everything done when you want it, how you want it. You will only press a button.
