CHALLENGES
Big Data
Real-Time
Analysis
INTERNET OF THINGS(IOT)
• Network of physical objects connected to the int ernet
• Collect and exchange data
• Goal
• Electrical grid including operational measurement systems which relays information back to acentral
management system
• IoT
• Digital sensors monitoring the transmission networks (power meters, voltage sensors,fault detectors)
• AI
• Optimization of power transmission; promote conservation through demand-based pricing
• Predictive maintenance of networks and load forecasting
• Predict cascading effect of outages in a grid network
• United Kingdom – OpenADR (Open Automated Demand Response) standard reduced peak
usage in commercial buildings by 45%
• Amsterdam – Smart street lighting allows municipalities to control brightness of street
lights based on traffic and pedestrian movement
WATER MANAGEMENT
• Goal
• Conserve water (as simple as that)
• IoT
• Sensors to monitor water supply, water levels and sewerages
• Real-time climate monitoring
• AI
• Predict/Optimize usage of water
• Optimized rain-water harvesting
• Predictive maintenance – avoid disruptions
• Distributed sensor networks to plan for flooding; learning from the network data
• Abu Dhabi - reduced annual maintenance plan by 40% using IBM’s solution
• Barcelona (Spain) - The irrigation system in Parc del Centre de Poblenou, transmits real
time data to gardening crews about the level of water required for the plants
WASTE MANAGEMENT
• Goal
• Optimize trash collection and monitoring
• IoT
• Sensors monitoring trash collection
• Sensors identifying objects at disposal grounds
• AI
• Optimize trash collection by monitoring waste levels at public bins
• Segregate recyclable materials from the non-recyclable ones
• Philadelphia – ‘Big Belly’s’ trash can allowed the city to bring down their trash
collection frequency from 7 per week to 5 per week and avoid overflowing trash
cans
PUBLIC CARE
• Goal
• Efficient and quick health diagnosis
• Avoid epidemics
• IoT
• Environmental monitoring
• Various sensors to collect patient’s real-time data
• AI
• Provide diagnosis support by predicting possible medicaloutcomes
• Remote diagnosis of patients
• Based on GIS data, environmental data and patient data, predict possible outbreaks of
epidemics
• Goal
• Ensure safety of citizens and prevent crime/attacks
• IoT
• Surveillance cameras
• Monitoring citizens movements
• AI
• Predict crime locations and type of crimes
• Alert citizens remotely
• Optimize the presence of police personnel
• Researchers from MIT trained a computer to learn from millions of images to identify
possible crime locations
• San Francisco – BART police using historical data to predict and prevent crimes
SMART TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
• Goal
• Make life better on the road
• IoT
• Sensors capturing traffic movement, street light sensors, sensors at tolling booths, sensors installed in public
transport systems
• AI
• Smart parking – finds a parking spot for you
• Direct traffic through alternate routes; open-up reserved lanes; Automated traffic lights
• Optimize public transport; Reduce fuel consumption in public transports
• Helsinki (Finland) - fuel consumption has dropped 5 percent, customer satisfaction has increased by 7
percent, driver performance has improved, and mechanical maintenance has become proactive by
analyzing data from sensors installed in their public buses
• Barcelona (Spain) – Designed new bus network based on data analysis of most common traffic flows
• London – Underground subway uses IoT for predictive maintenance, monitor on-going activity across
the system and for infrastructure planning (https://youtu.be/NYpdNGl1hco)
