Advances in infrastructure IoT technologies are giving cities new ways to improve the services they deliver. Streetlight-mounted platforms in particular are changing the game! Smaller, simpler, and nearly invisible from street level, cities can now install lighting controllers, traffic monitors, sensors, and broadband access platforms in seconds and have data in minutes. As compelling as scaling deployments faster and with less time and costs are, an even bigger transformation is happening at the operations center where cloud-based tools provide instant visibility, analysis, and optimization of the data. It is here that cities have control of their assets and the power to deliver new and existing services smarter. Join this panel of experts and see how cities are making data driven decisions.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- What data makes a difference in decision making
- How are the most forward-looking cities using data
- What use cases will provide the most benefits, including
- reduce data driven traffic congestion up to 30%,
- better allocation of funds for road paving, stop lights, bike lanes, and other construction
- monitor and detect unusual ‘after hours’ behavior at schools, shopping malls, and car dealerships
- reducing energy consumption
- reducing city operational and maintenance costs

Encouraging more people to use public transport rather than driving for short trips is key to helping cities meet their climate targets and improve quality of life through reduced congestion.
Buses are critical to this but operators face several challenges, such as changing travel patterns, tighter budgets, shrinking workforces, and the need to get to grips with rapidly evolving technology.
This webinar explores how bus operators can keep services running smoothly and meet passenger expectations in unpredictable times.
Gary Googins, General Manager for the Americas and Sue Walnut, Product Director, both from Vix Technology, alongside researcher Daniel Boyle, will share their insights and best practices to help operators:
- Improve passenger confidence through better information
- Make effective use of data to plan services
- Apply technology to on-street bus management
- Maximise the benefits of technology investments
- Optimise staff training
