Real-time transport and weather data
Today computers are embedded into many of the elements that make up a city — its buildings, streets, cars and so on. In combination these generate ever bigger data about how a city functions and performs in real time. These data allow us to produce more efficient and liveable cities, which we call smart.
Sensors are now used in cities to control basic functions such as paying for services, intelligent lighting, more efficient energy. At the same time personal and mobile sensors in our smartphones are collecting data that help us make decisions about how we behave in real time.
