With Smart Waste Management System, it is simpler to manage the urban waste collection in cities. Through the placement of sensors with low energy consumption and high durability in the traditional trash bins, it is possible to keep tight control on the state of the container, its location and security, thus increasing the effectiveness and efficiency of the waste management teams.
Urban waste can be seen as a resource for the whole processing chain. Encourage recycling, generate rates based on each citizen’s contribution and make your city greener.
Smart Water Consumption App promotes and challenges families to make an environmentally-conscious use of water. This app allows the integration with other verticals, such as environment and mobility, including a comparison between these sectors and the influence on each other.
With a dashboard, its users can easily access their daily water consumption and compare it with the average of their region.
A virtual power plant is an online platform which aggregates people’s production and consumption of solar energy and stores the surplus locally. Due to this aggregation it’s possible to trade energy on the wholesale markets: the use of a home battery lets you store energy when electricity prices are low and discharge the battery when there are high.
The PM2.5 hazards is a serious problem that Taiwan is facing today. Last year, the air quality often reached “purple alert.” Therefore, Taipei City Government, Academia Sinica, Realtek and Asus set up “PM2.5 Air Boxes” in Taipei. In this cooperation project, Realtek and Asus donated “Air Box” to each elementary school in Taipei City. This machine can detect temperature, humidity, PM2.5 data and transmit information to a cloud-based platform/website so that students and parents can access the Internet or use an APP to view environmental data.
Taipei street lights enhance with network and become the important collection of data as the cornerstone of smart city solution.
If the street light system has been equipped with the specifications of the communication network, monitoring images, sensors, messaging and other mechanisms, it can support the need of smart city through every different application. IPS emphasizes to use simple interface to control engine room on cloud to remote control the street light to do sensing such as the temperature, humidity, environment monitoring like CO2 and PM2.5, traffic detection.
The world first road created out of recycled plastic could be built in only a matter of days and that can last three times longer than a traditional road. The road allows excess water to drain quickly and has a built-in solution for pipes and cables. Additionally, switching from asphalt to plastic roads will reduce the carbon dioxide emissions when compared to traditional road construction.
Apart from being a place for rest and relaxation, the specially equipped benches let Prague citizens and visitors alike charge their phones or tablets, connect to the Internet, check the current temperature and air humidity or the volume of carbon dioxide in the air. All of that is available at the city public areas without the need to be connected to electric energy – the benches are powered by solar panels.
