Traffic Monitoring
Yes, even with remote workers on the rise, traffic management is essential for a city to run smoothly. Traffic monitoring allows cities and urban planners to understand the current use of the roads and how they can better plan the city for the future.
The current methods to gather information are GPS, live reporting via apps, traffic cameras, police radio frequencies, high traffic area monitoring via helicopters and roadside sensors.
How are smart cities implementing better traffic monitoring devices?
Currently,
IoT traffic sensors can be implemented which allows for better gathering of data. Better yet, it allows for the improvement of traffic flow, reduction of congestion and pollution which in turn improves quality of life and safety.
IoT traffic sensors are not expensive to implement and once the hardware is installed, the software and remote monitoring of such will allow the city to make adjustments as necessary.
