Central control room monitors and coordinates all public transportation in Vienna

Video cameras are used to observe traffic flows at key intersections. These cameras are equipped with swivel and zoom functions. In case of a traffic jam, an accident, or a truck losing its load, the traffic control center can immediately implement corresponding traffic control measures.

ETFE: 1% the weight of glass a better thermal insulator, around 20% of solar energy is trapped and used for heatingThe daylight : saves up to 55% on the lighting energy required for the leisure pool hall.Better thermal insulator than glass and thoroughly cleans itself with every rain shower

About 20% of the solar energy : heat the swimming pools and the interior area.Heat recovery from warm exhaust air for warming up the cold outside air (fresh air supply)

Beijing water solution: 80% of water harvested from the roof catchment areas, pool backwash systems and overland flows: reduce the reliance and pressures on local receiving waters and the municipal water supply system

by discharging directly to the sewer system.Ideally suited to the seismic conditions in Beijing and is arguably the most seismically-resistant building in the world.

Dubuque, Iowa: The first integrated smart city

Interlocking systems that are watching the interaction between water, electricity, and transport. This year, the city launched the first phase of the program, the installation of smart water meters in homes of 311

volunteers. The meters transmit consumption data to the IBM servers every fifteen minutes, for which the owners of the house can be updated directly. The

point was to see if their awareness use encouraged to maintain

Cumbersome paper-based processes with mobile handheld

devices that relay information in real time. The transition from insecurity to the security of residence is the main

goal.

Malta: The first world country with smart gridThe new smart grid taking into account the direct connection of electricity and water, will create a single system framework which will identify water leaks and electricity losses, allowing utilities to plan their investments in the network by reducing inefficiency. Thus, the Maltese government can provide to citizens better information in order to make smarter decisions about how and when they consume energy, while the country can start trying to replace polluting power generation using fossil fuels to renewable rotating energy sources for the future.

A smart card system (smart cards) for optimal routes, schedules, minimized congestion by maximizing ridership,

increasing the attractiveness of public transport and by reducing fares.

Singapore: Smart Cards

Projects

Using smart meters, the participants in the pilot program will have the opportunity to understand in real time how much electricity they consume. In this way we can adapt our behavior and reduce the energy costs and ultimately we can help to reduce CO2 emissions by 14% at least.

This project resulted in a 50 percent drop in morning traffic waiting time, an increase of 60,000 passengers per day in public transportation ridership and an overall improved quality of life for the residents of Stockholm.

Bucheon City: From manually counting to real time data

A real-time information on traffic and alerts drivers to avoid congestion by giving them the opportunity to a better flow understand. By eliminating manual processes. IBM has achieved the collection and the data traffic analysis. In this way the authorities are able to detect the traffic accidents, unusual activities on the carriageway, and alert immediately the administrative center in emergencies occasions. Parallel they achieved the ability to a quickly search using video of criminal activity.
