Singapore, Pittsburgh, Hangzhou, and Amsterdam have successfully utilized AI in smart city applications to improve residents’ experience

Use Cases

The following are some examples of how urban life can be transformed through infrastructure deployment and AI analytics:

Traffic management

In urban centers with high traffic volume, numerous private cars and commercial vehicles are in constant motion to transport people and goods. The parking of such vehicles and the management of traffic in these areas necessitate innovative approaches, which can be facilitated by the use of AI technology. By utilizing AI traffic management tools, traffic patterns and parking space availability can be learned and predicted, thereby enabling a more seamless driving and parking experience in city environments.

Energy management

In developing and emerging urban areas, the implementation of AI technology can aid in the optimization of energy usage, resulting in cost savings and improved quality of life for residents. By tracking the movements of individuals within the city and collecting relevant data, AI tools can be utilized to regulate energy distribution in high traffic areas and other key locations throughout the city. Through machine learning, the AI system can analyze patterns of energy consumption across the city and make informed decisions regarding the distribution of resources.

Waste management

Waste management is benefiting from AI technology and implementation of its innovative solutions worldwide. Sydney, for example, uses advanced AI-powered robots to clear plastic pollution from waterways and sort garbage. These smart machines have capability to identify recyclable materials for recovery, while continuously improving their sorting capabilities over time. AI technology enables cities to manage waste sustainably and efficiently, reducing environmental impact and enhancing residents' quality of life.

Environment

Urban centers worldwide are integrating AI-based tools for a sustainable future. AI and machine learning systems predict air pollution levels hours in advance by analyzing vast data from various urban centers. These systems are designed to analyze vast quantities of data sourced from various urban centers, enabling them to learn the necessary rules and features to make accurate predictions. The goal is to forecast fine particulate matter (PM2.5) levels, enabling municipal authorities to make informed decisions on pollution mitigation measures. Adopting such technologies helps cities address environmental concerns, promoting healthier and more sustainable living environments.
