A report by ABI says such devices will feature deep learning models to automate and augment decision-making in applications such as intelligent traffic management.
Despite recent investment, uptake of 5G across smart city segments will remain low over the next five years though new use cases will emerge, especially in low latency, mission-critical services.
Research by ABI finds that a wide range of smart cities technology vendors and service providers are focusing product and solution strategies on one or more microcity types.
Key factors behind the growth of digital twins include Covid-19 requirements in terms of achieving increased resilience levels and optimised asset and demand-response resource management.
ABI Research reports that such cameras will enable an increasing number of low latency mission-critical machine vision applications like pedestrian detection and alerting, and real-time surveillance.
The automated, contactless elevated temperature detection solution is designed to help identify potential Covid-19 infections in facilities with thousands of people.
While the sector took a hit in pandemic lockdowns, ABI Research says it will continue to grow and forecasts the worldwide installed base of micro-mobility vehicles to reach 50 million by 2026.
A report from ABI Research reveals that the increasing number of countries setting up deadlines to end the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles will propel higher EV adoption.
Drones, new types of surveillance, digital twins and real-time dashboards are among the technologies that have emerged in new use cases by cities during the coronavirus pandemic, according to ABI Research.
An 80 per cent surge in wi-fi upload traffic during the Covid-19 pandemic is re-affirming the need for wi-fi 6/6E and wi-fi mesh adoption, states ABI Research.
This is one of the messages in ABI Research’s whitepaper which looks at the current and future ramifications of COVID-19 across technologies and verticals, including smart cities.
The smart building market has begun to grow and evolve away from the traditional areas of HVAC, lighting, access control and safety to more advanced needs.
Video surveillance is increasingly being used for new applications such as urban tolling and the monitoring of low-emission zones, according to ABI Research.
ABI Research’s analysts have identified 35 trends that will shape the technology market and lead to cities developing advanced urban strategies over the next 12 months.
Among the customers using the networks are public sector organisations and cities with use cases ranging from testing drones for tsunami evacuation alerts to building smarter ports.
Only by using advanced technologies such as urban modelling tools and artificial intelligence will cities be able to address the new round of challenges they face, says ABI Research.
Bentley Systems is applying digital twin technology to help achieve more efficient city and regional operations and more connected and resilient infrastructure.
Research finds that urban digital twinning and city modelling technology is having a transformative effect on how cities are designed, monitored, and managed.
To overcome drivers’ "range anxiety" over being able to charge up, the EV battery will need to safer, cheaper, faster charging, and have a high-energy density for greater range.
City governments around the world are becoming more aware of making sure their cities can withstand or recover quickly from unpredictable events and disasters.
Electric vehicle mileage share will exceed 20 per cent by 2030 but only two per cent of all vehicles shipping in 2018 are expected to be electric, finds new report
FIWARE CEO Ulrich Ahle speaks to Graeme Neill about how the Smart Cities for Germany programme is helping the country’s poor track record on digitising services and how the battle for public opinion on open-source has been won.
