Today’s challenges with city mobility

Due to global warming and accelerating urbanization the need to decrease the city carbon footprint towards carbon neutral cities is a key. City mobility and traffic congestion is one key element on this journey, as mobility contributes up to 30% of cities carbon footprint.

Decreasing the number of private cars, encouraging the usage of public and carbon neutral transport are the keys to success. Cities need means to measure carbon footprint of the traffic to follow the development towards the targets and encourage citizens to use environmentally friendly ways to travel in the city.

Utilizing sustainable ways to move around the city has a significant impact on decelerating global warming. Cities are actively developing the city mobility towards greener future by enabling carbon neutral ways to move around the city. The challenge is: There is not enough data available for efficient traffic planning or the data is too scattered. Therefore, it is not easy to know where to focus the investments to have most significant impact on city mobility in terms of decarbonization and safety?

Challenge summary:

Climate change calls for rapid changes to decarbonize city mobility
The pollution from city traffic has a big impact on people's health
Traffic congestion undermines the living comfort
Lack of data for data driven traffic planning
Even if there is data available, it is often scattered to several systems. The Big Picture isn’t clear.

Smart Cities in general

Today's cities are facing challenges due to accelerating urbanization, tough decarbonization regulations and increasing costs. Meanwhile the cities need to improve the citizen experience to secure citizen happiness.

The city organizations often lack accurate, real-time data to execute data driven leadership to guide their operations in most efficient way towards decarbonization, cost optimization and citizen happiness. Often data is scattered to several systems which makes it challenging to see the big picture clearly.

The objectives of Smart Cities are to improve the quality of life, boost the local economy to make the city attractive for businesses and improve sustainability.

Data driven decision making in today's modern cities is an enabler for sustainable growth considering environmental and economic impacts. We offer market ready IoT, analytics and AI solutions to enable cities to take the leap towards data driven decision making and automation through combining data and analytics into intelligent market ready service offering.
