挑战
Wilson, North Carolina, faced a significant challenge with its outdated public transit system, which was originally designed in the 1960s for commuters working in the downtown area. As the city's economic development and commuting patterns evolved, the fixed-route bus network failed to serve those commuting to jobs away from the city center. This inadequacy in public transportation was seen as a major contributor to unemployment in Wilson. The city needed a solution that could expand transit coverage and improve service efficiency without increasing the budget.
关于客户
Wilson, North Carolina, is a small city known for its innovative approach to public services. Despite its small population, the city has been proactive in addressing the needs of its residents, particularly in terms of public transportation. The city partnered with Via in July 2020 to overhaul its public transit system. Wilson's bus system, introduced in the 1960s, was initially designed to cater to commuters working in the downtown area. However, as the city's economic landscape changed, the fixed-route bus network became less effective in serving the needs of residents commuting to jobs outside the city center. This led to a pressing need for a more flexible and efficient public transit solution.
解决方案
In September 2020, Wilson replaced its fixed-route bus network with an on-demand transit system called RIDE, developed in partnership with Via. RIDE covers the entire city with a fleet of 10 on-demand vans, providing corner-to-corner service for residents. The system is designed to be inclusive, offering wheelchair-accessible vehicles, phone booking for customers without smartphones, and payment options for unbanked individuals. The fare is a flat $1.50 for trips within the city, with free or discounted rides for seniors and riders with disabilities. This new system ensures that all residents have access to reliable and affordable transportation. Via also worked closely with Wilson to secure a grant from the Federal Transit Administration’s Accelerating Innovative Mobility program, which will allow the city to extend service hours.

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.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.

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.
