Imagine sitting in traffic for hours every day, constantly frustrated by red lights, while your phone tells you the shortest route is a fantasy. Now, picture a city where traffic signals adjust automatically, vehicles move smoothly, and power grids work so efficiently you barely think about them. Sounds like a sci-fi movie, right? Well, thanks to technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data, cities are moving closer to this reality. Let’s break down how these technologies are transforming urban life, with insights from Niranjan Nayak, Managing Director, Delta Electronics India — a company at the forefront of the smart city revolution.
• IoT and Big Data: Traffic Woes, Meet Your Match
IoT and big data are being utilized to enhance urban efficiency and support smarter cities. One example is the successful implementation of the Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) in Kochi. Delta installed Ultra Narrow Bezel LCD Video Walls in the control room to help the police monitor traffic flow in real time. The ITMS analyzes data to optimize traffic signals, reduce congestion, and ensure smoother traffic movement across various transport systems, including metro and buses. Additionally, the system aids in traffic enforcement by detecting offenses like red light jumping and speeding. This integration of technology promotes seamless mobility, making Kochi a smarter and more efficient city.
