The opportunities of a new technology: smart cities and smart roads

[nurmohammadkhan]

Investments in 5G networks are not just an infrastructure expense, but are also an opportunity for all telcos to open new business horizons , being able to create new services to offer to people and companies. A promising area is undoubtedly that of mobility in which telcos can move in synergy with other companies to create very interesting projects.

For example, TIM has collaborated with the municipality of Turin to advance the armenia whatsapp resource Smart Roads idea, a technological innovation plan for road safety based on the positioning of special sensors on pedestrian crossings, which serve to communicate to passing cars the passage of a pedestrian. At the same time, the project envisaged placing on passing vehicles units that will signal to any mobile device of a cyclist (such as a smartwatch) and to the navigator of a car the reciprocal position, to avoid accidents. All this, obviously, is possible thanks to 5G technology, which by reducing latency times to a minimum allows a substantially immediate exchange of information between multiple devices at the same time (Source: Corcom).

But that's not all. The same plan also includes the Urban Georeferenced Alert , which allows you to monitor in real time work in progress, traffic jams, slowdowns and more, and communicate everything to those who are passing by, so as to make traffic flow smoother and safer. Not to mention, in perspective, how many other innovations can be implemented to make the so-called smart cities definitively real thanks to the power of new generation networks: think of street lamps that automatically signal breakdowns, traffic lights that record changes in traffic flow and communicate them to drivers, the inclusion of explanations (perhaps in augmented reality) in historical monuments so as to make the experience of tourists interactive.
