挑战
The City of Franklin, Tennessee, faced significant challenges in their solid waste and streets departments due to rapid population growth. The public works department struggled with inefficient route planning, relying on outdated methods such as paper maps, GPS, Excel spreadsheets, and driver knowledge. This inefficiency led to increased fuel and labor costs, missed pickups, and frustrated residents. The streets department also faced issues with inconsistent service and an inability to provide timely street sweeping services, further exacerbated by the city's rapid growth.
关于客户
The City of Franklin, Tennessee, is a rapidly growing city located 20 miles south of Nashville. Named after Benjamin Franklin, it is one of the wealthiest cities in the United States. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, Franklin has a population of 83,454, making it the seventh largest city in Tennessee. The city's rapid growth has significantly impacted its public works department, necessitating the need for efficient route planning solutions to manage the increasing number of residents and their waste collection and street sweeping needs.
解决方案
To address these challenges, the City of Franklin implemented RouteSmart for solid waste collection route planning. This solution allowed the city to optimize route plans, balance workloads, and provide specific daily routes for residential collection. The city also consolidated its residential routes to a four-day work week from five. Following the success in the solid waste department, the streets department adopted RouteSmart to improve street sweeping operations, reducing the street sweep cycle from seven weeks to three weeks. Additionally, the city deployed RouteSmart Navigator, an onboard navigation system created by RouteSmart partner Integrated Skills Limited. This system tracked and reported activity, provided turn-by-turn instructions to drivers, and improved customer experience and staff oversight.

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.

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.

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.

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.
