Big Data & Smart Cities
9 likes2,504 views
Big data and smart cities are closely related. Smart cities use big data and data analytics to optimize resource management, address issues like population growth and global warming, and manage tight budgets. Some examples of smart city projects utilizing big data include using sensors to manage intermittent bus lanes, powering electric buses through electric roads, and building green data centers to reduce energy usage. While mega smart cities promise advanced technology and services, they also face challenges of large budgets, construction delays, and defining success. Overall, big data and smart technologies have potential to improve city operations when applied strategically to address specific issues.

- 16. Smart public transit- transportation • Intermittent bus lanes in Lisbon, Portugal – Bus/HOV lanes, though they improve traffic flow, are often empty – Wireless sensors in the ground detect presence of public transport in the bus lanes, so that lanes are only reserved when public transit vehicles approaching Techne Summit 2015

Songdo: Originally scheduled to be completed in 2012, Songdo is about half finished, with about 50 million square feet built. Officials now predict it will be finished in 2017
