Connected Vehicles in Smart Cities: The Future of Transportation

#News(General) [ via IoTForIndiaGroup ]

In the recent Smart Mobility Congress in Barcelona, Spain global industry leaders discussed future transport options in a smart city. In just a few years’ time, transport can become much more efficient and relevant through the use of connected sensors, big data, mobile applications, and mobile payments. As they provide the connectivity that is enabling these changes, mobile operators are best placed to advise on how to meet the different transportation challenges of the future.

Cities are getting smarter every day. Municipalities are increasingly using information and communication technologies (ICT) to enrich and enhance city life, which is paramount in planning the cities of the future. The rapid growth and expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) result in a fundamental impact on the development of smart cities and their mobility options.

The IoT drives efficiencies and delivers rich new services that have a positive impact in urban life. However, without effective strategies in place, cities can be unable to capitalize on these benefits.
