What is a smart city?

A smart city is a city which uses sensors to collect data. With AI and data science, the collected data are used to manage resources and services efficiently.

How do soil sensors work?

Soil sensors measure moisture content and nutrients such as nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus in the soil.

How do smart streetlights work to reduce lighting pollution?

The use of sensing to dynamically change the amount of illumination or area of illumination based on real-time conditions, such as a mobile object, sound or pre-planned event, weather, time (specific hour, day of the week) is one application. In some places, it may be preferable to have long wavelength light to reduce light pollution, and sensors may assist here as well.
