The smart city is often touted as a revolution, but a lot of it is just making everything run a little bit smoother:
- Elder care: Using sensors contribute to automate living spaces as well as immediately alerting health professionals if something were to happen.
- Traffic flow and vehicle fleets: Traffic flow can be optimized by sensor outfitted roads to avoid traffic jams.
- Energy conservation: The smart city is to a high degree the same thing as the sustainable city.
