关于客户
The City of Chicago, under the leadership of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, embarked on a mission to enhance its cycling infrastructure. With a vision to provide bicycle accommodations within a half-mile of every resident, increase bike ways, and boost infrastructure where ridership was high, the city recognized the need for significant changes. Chicago, a bustling metropolis, was witnessing a surge in cycling as a mode of commuting. However, safety concerns among cyclists posed a challenge. The city's Department of Transportation (CDOT) sought to address these issues by collaborating with Fish Transportation Group (FTG) to gather reliable multimodal traffic data. This data-driven approach was crucial for making informed decisions to transform Chicago into a cycling-friendly city.
挑战
The City of Chicago aimed to become the best cycling city in America by improving cycling infrastructure. However, traditional data collection methods were insufficient, lacking verifiability, reliability, and coverage. The city needed accurate, actionable data to address safety concerns and make informed decisions about infrastructure improvements.
解决方案
To overcome the limitations of traditional data collection methods, FTG transitioned to using Miovision Scouts, portable data collection units, to gather multimodal traffic data across Chicago. This video-based collection method provided a cost-effective, safer, and more accurate alternative. The Scouts enabled FTG to collect verifiable data from over 500 locations, including 100 in the downtown core, within the city's budget constraints. The rich data collected helped Chicago make data-driven decisions, contributing to the city's progress towards becoming a bike-friendly network. The use of Miovision Scouts played a pivotal role in achieving significant milestones, such as climbing Bicycling Magazine's rankings of top cycling cities in the U.S.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Case Study
Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
Case Study
Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
Case Study
China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
