TRAFFIC 
MANAGEMENT
Challenge for large smart cities is to optimize 
traffic. Pavement integrated sensors send real-
time updates of traffic flow to a central traffic 
management platform which analyses the data 
and automatically adjusts traffic lights to the 
traffic situation within seconds.

SMART PARKING
Intelligent parking solutions identify when a 
vehicle has left the parking area.
The sensors in the ground report via smartphone 
the driver, where they can find a free parking 
space.

SMART WASTE 
MANAGEMENT
Waste management solutions help to optimize 
the efficiency of waste collection and to reduce 
operational costs and better address the 
environmental issues associated with an 
inefficient waste collection.
