DATA-DRIVEN CITY-SCALE SENSING ECOSYSTEM

Collect city sensors’ information (e.g. smart water meters)

Public Transportation Waste Management & City-Services Use collected sensors’ information to dispatch maintenance vehicles. Efficiently collect trash “just-in-time”.

Emergency Vehicles Automatically dispatch emergency vehicles. Use real-time data to help vehicles avoid traffic and be informed about emergencies while en route.

Traffic Management A city that “knows” how and when to efficiently adapt to traffic and emergency situations.

Mesh Networking Create mesh networks for communication during catastrophes.

HD Data For Network Planning

Before After

o  NetRiders collect the position, commercial speed and acceleration on a second by second basis.

o  This high-definition (HD) data is used to modify bus routes, move bus stops and adjust the traffic lights.

o  Better fuel efficiency, smoother rides, less delays, higher customer satisfaction.
