Today, Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors are used in almost everything, everywhere. 你手腕上的智能手表可以实时监控你的健康状况, to the smart metre in your home that records readings remotely, more and more pieces of our daily lives are getting connected.
城市发展的速度可能需要几十年甚至几个世纪, new technology innovations are spurring cities along. 随着快速的城市化,通过物联网等新技术的融合, cloud and Artificial Intelligence (AI), 全球各国政府都肩负着让城市互联互通的使命, efficient, safe and sustainable.
The IoT game-changer
Urban living does not come without challenges. Being stuck in traffic at rush hour, garbage bins that always seem full, 或者坏掉的路灯几个星期都没修好,感觉就像日常生活一样. In an effective, 互联智慧城市的许多不便和低效率都可以得到缓解.
在当今世界,市政府的服务通常是安排好的和例行的. Waste collection happens on a specific day every week, maintenance crews spot-check public equipment, such as streetlights, 也就是说在检查间隙出现的任何东西都有可能被遗漏. However, as cities move to implement IoT technologies, services are becoming much more responsive and reactive.
IoT sensors installed on garbage bins, connected to a centrally managed platform, can alert the waste management company when the container is full. Instead of relying on bin collection at a set time, the waste-removal team can be dispatched when needed.
Similarly, if there is a problem with a streetlight with an IoT sensor, maintenance teams can be alerted immediately. 定期抽查将成为过去,因为一旦有问题需要解决,团队就会得到通知, saving time and keeping the streets well-lit and safe.
Managing the masses
繁忙的公共交通和拥挤的道路会使城市旅行变得困难. As urban areas move to deploy connected sensors across the city, 市民可以获得最新的信息,帮助他们做出明智的旅行决定. 当人们选择不同的路线或交通方式时,拥堵和拥挤可以得到缓解.
But it’s not just transportation that gets all tied up. 博物馆、画廊和政府办公场所等公共建筑都会经历繁忙时期. Using IoT sensors and asset tracking systems, 组织可以检测到同一时间有多少人在一个地方. 这可以帮助管理访问者数量,也可以让公众知道网站的繁忙程度. Organisations can use the same technology in commercial buildings, offices and healthcare locations, to track assets, 减少了寻找物品的时间和更换放错地方的设备的成本.
Sustainability is top of mind
In addition to improving operational efficiencies, 城市有责任通过提高能源效率来实现全球气候变化目标. Electric buses, 在许多城市地区,补贴公共交通和拥堵费是司空见惯的,以帮助推动人们的行为,减少汽车排放.
除了绿色交通,城市还必须重新审视建筑的能源使用. 在建筑物中安装物联网传感器可以让组织监控设备的能耗并远程控制它们. With a centrally managed platform, hundreds of devices can be turned off simultaneously, reducing energy consumption and costs. 有了人工智能,组织可以分析收集到的数据,以检测导致能源消耗的异常和模式. 根据调查结果,可以采用新的做法来减少排放.
Safety first
With IoT technology and cloud-based solutions, governments and emergency services can monitor roads, streets and buildings in real-time.
连接到集中管理平台的CCTV物联网设备可以检测是否有紧急情况, for example a car crash. 在这种情况下,将触发警报以立即通知紧急服务. This technology saves time and lives.
物联网资产跟踪技术还可以通过快速定位人员和资产来帮助提高安全性. Rescue teams can also remotely ensure a building is empty, saving them from entering a dangerous situation unnecessarily.
Reliable connectivity
Smart cities rely on 24/7 connectivity to function. Network outages are simply not an option. Downtime puts people at risk. Real-time data is key to the smart solutions cities demand. To ensure reliable connectivity, 一个城市的网络应该集中管理,高吞吐量和低延迟. As technologies and network capabilities continue to evolve, 网络还需要灵活和可扩展,以支持未来的创新.
Smart technology in action
我们最近与北海道岛(北海道)的合作是一个现实世界中如何变革的例子 smart technology and a dependable network can be to a community. 北海道是日本第二大岛屿,位于地震多发地区. To ensure the safety of their elderly residents, 信息和通信基础设施利用促进委员会(ICIUPC)负责11个乡镇之间的通信.
日本面临着可能对其公民造成重大影响的自然灾害造成的严重破坏. 偏远城镇的老年居民无法获得技术或网络连接,他们尤其容易受到伤害.
In addition to disaster situations, everyday communication is essential to maintain people's health, which means providing connectivity to all the elderly residents. 安装在居民家中的基于云的电话解决方案使他们能够使用视频和音频进行通信. 北海道的老年人社区也可以收到天气通知, alerts from police and transportation operators, disaster warnings and updates, 并与医疗保健专业人员进行日常咨询.
With this system, 乘坐公共交通有困难的居民也可以通过班车服务按需出行. 该解决方案在自然灾害的情况下保护孤立的居民, as well it aids the revitalisation of the local community, facilitating social integration with family, friends and other residents.
The Hokkaido Municipality has embraced digital technology. 全岛安装的强大网络使公民享有可靠的通信, protects their safety, 并改善老年人的总体福祉,他们现在有一系列触手可及的服务.
Smart cities, ready for the future
As technology evolves so too will smart cities capabilities. A connected smart city 使政府能够创建具有无缝协作服务的城市和城镇, to provide efficient, safe and sustainable operations. Ensuring cities have reliable, secure and scalable networks, 意味着像北海道这样的社区可以在未来很长一段时间内继续享受最新智能技术的好处.
