A picture tells you where you saved the 125 hours per year

Imagine, when two-thirds of the world’s population lives in densely populated big cities, how can we effectively alleviate the pressure and impact of overcrowding? Smart cities give such answers.

The Juniper Research survey, sponsored by Intel, predicts that by adopting advanced technology in four areas, smart cities can save 125 people per household (cumulative) each year - this is three weeks of work time. And the investigation involves many things Networking technologies, including travel, health and public safety solutions, have been quietly deployed around the world.

• Travel

The average speed in urban rush hour is 4 miles per hour. Such traffic jam will cause the driver to waste 70 hours every year. The survey believes that the Internet of Things-based infrastructure can allow drivers to save 60 hours of traffic jams in a year's time. Time, the system consists of intelligent transportation systems, safer road systems, parking guidance systems, contactless tolls and parking payment systems.

• Medical

The survey found that smart cities with connected digital healthcare services can effectively increase efficiency - saving the public nearly 10 hours a year, and may even bring benefits to both patients and healthcare workers. For example, some 'wearable applications' can Monitors blood pressure, pain tolerance and temperature, helping people manage chronic conditions without being hospitalized. 'Telemedicine' allows high-frequency video links to allow patients with infectious flu to be examined comfortably at home, thus avoiding hospital infections more people.

• Public safety

The survey shows that public safety improvements can save smart city residents a lot of time - nearly 35 hours per year. For example, in Portland, Oregon and San Diego, Intel and GE and AT&T have deployed Digital with GE's CityIQ. Infrastructure with Current, makes the urban landscape generate meaningful data, transforms streetlights into interconnected digital infrastructure radio stations, monitors the pulse of urban life, makes local departments safer, cleaner, and works more efficiently.

The study also ranks the top 20 smart cities in the world in terms of travel, medical care, public safety and productivity. Among them, three cities in China are listed, Wuxi ranked 17th, and Yinchuan ranked 10th. Eighth, Hangzhou ranks twentieth. The survey found that cities such as Chicago, London, New York, San Francisco and Singapore are leading the world in integrating Internet of Things technology and interconnection services. These cities stand out because they are more intelligent In a more connected environment, we will work hard to connect municipalities, businesses and citizens to meet the growing demand for 'increased livability' - especially in travel (San Francisco and Singapore), public safety (Chicago, New York and Singapore), Medical (London and Singapore) and Productivity (Chicago, London and Singapore). Smart cities may still be in the early stages, but according to the hottest global initiatives in the survey, We have reason to believe fully that this is only the beginning, and there are infinite possibilities in the future.
