Monitoring traffic system: vehicle tracking allows more efficient traffic flow and reduces idling of engine.
IoT enables devices: IoT devices can reduce from industrial uses by 10 percent by 2030
Utilization of Smart Recycling Sensors: by automating waste collection process, they increase recycling rate from 40 percent today to more than 60 percent in 2023.
Facilitated residence: it provides information on alternate routes or public transportation in the event of traffic or road construction.
Security management: Promoting security system such as surveillance camera, emergency alert system to make feel safer.
Maximize utilized energy sources: innovate energy management system, Renewable energy sources, such as solar panels, wind turbines on public land, contribute to lessen environmental effect.
Upgraded technology: social networking sites upgraded by government IT enables easy access to relevant information its personal digital assistant.
Some of these qualities are closely applicable to the digital technology employed in a modern metropolis. By encouraging users to purchase electric vehicles, an electric vehicle ownership platform can help to reduce CO2 emissions.
