Creating Smart Cities With IoT Sensors and Edge Computing

Working with Schréder, SixSq is making the street lighting in cities around Europe smarter through a combination of IoT sensors and HPE Edgeline servers. There’s a current requirement in the European Union to better manage streets based on traffic. One way Schréder is doing this, with the help of SixSq, is to analyze traffic patterns via sensors and adjust lighting on the fly by processing that data with edge compute near where the decision needs to be made. This technology could be extended to monitoring air quality or traffic accidents in the future, to further extend the intelligence at the edge. In this video from HPE Discover in Madrid, Marc-Elian Bégin of SixSq explains how this solution was implemented in places like Zurich, as well as the potential for future enhancements.
