Intel will create the world's first smart city (USA)

The city will not be built from scratch; San Jose, a rather large settlement that is planned to turn into Sim City Smart City, will be taken as a basis. Internet of Things will be widely used in the city to track the level of traffic, road incidents, water quality, air quality and much more.



In general, such a project is the first in the United States, and we must think that if the Smart City project is successfully implemented, the experience will be extended to other cities. In San Jose, many sensors will monitor the level of water pollution, noise pollution, energy efficiency, communications lines and everything else.

The obtained data will go to the relevant services of the city, and not only on employees' PCs, but also on smartphones of responsible persons. Thus, the services of the city will be able to quickly learn about problems that arise, and no less quickly respond. The main idea is to increase the efficiency of resource use by urban services.



Among other things, it is planned to create more than 25 thousand new jobs, which also has a beneficial effect on the life of the city.



All received data will be stored in the cloud, Smart City will also be controlled from the cloud, using Intel technologies. According to the developers of the project, the servers are reliably protected, so the probability that the information will fall into the wrong hands is very small.



The Smart City project itself is part of a larger, All-American project, The SmartAmerica Challenge.
