Does it happen in your city that the streets are jammed and you don’t have time to stand in endless traffic? I think many of us have experienced this type of problem and spent 2 hours in the car instead of 15 minutes. Fortunately, soon we will not have to deal with such situations any more thanks to 5G IoT in Smart City Infrastructure and Traffic Management.
Breakthroughs in urban transport will be brought about by technologies such as the 5G network – combined sensors will help city authorities to manage road infrastructure and drivers also fleet managers to plan routes intelligently, among other things. Thanks to 5G communication systems and sensors IoT, the local government will be able to transfer data on-road situations that can lead to problems with reliable speed. Intelligent sensors will be able to use data from specific locations to assess the condition of roads and establish, for example, priorities for renovation work. Not only will you be able to find out from them, but also whether there are blockages or accidents anywhere. Based on this data, Artificial Intelligence algorithms will be able to manage traffic in near real-time. For example, they can adjust speed limits, lane assignments, or traffic lights.
The current data on potentially dangerous sections can help to avoid icy or impassable roads. Drivers can therefore adapt their driving style and speed to conditions and avoid traffic jams. This supports fast and efficient travel and transport of goods or shipments. Sensors can even tell you which parking spaces are free, which saves you time looking for them and thus reduces the associated idling and fuel consumption.
Cities will have many benefits from such use of technology, not only thinking about the safety of the residents of a given city, but also about the reduced number of collisions and reduction of exhaust emissions. According to estimates, the introduction of smart city technology on a large scale will save up to 20% of travel time, shorten the response time in emergencies by 35%, or reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15%.
“The huge amount of data collected by intelligent cities can be managed by, among others, Mobile Resource Management (MRM) telematics platforms, using mobile telephony and the cloud. Combining information from multiple sources will enable efficient transport of people and cargo and help to understand how road infrastructure or vehicles are used. On this basis, both drivers, fleet owners, and local governments will be able to make better decisions. Intelligently managed infrastructure and route planning can also make cities more accessible to fleets of vehicles that will spend less time in urban traffic. And this is a real benefit also for residents.” said the marketing manager in company Verizon Connect.
The communications backbone to support connected vehicle technology can be phased in today, well before 5G is fully deployed, dramatically improving pedestrian and vehicle safety.
