Efficient City Transportation is Key to a Productive City

Subways, buses, and trains are essential to every major citys infrastructure and way of life. When one way of commuting through the city is delayed or shut down, the entire city feels the slowdown. Workers run late, offices cant function properly and on time, residents are delayed, and city functions come to a halt. Therefore, city planners and transportation employees must appropriately plan for, execute and track scheduled maintenance, repairs and employee time off to ensure the city runs optimally.

Smart Cities Integrate Rugged Tablets for Collecting, Monitoring and Communicating Data

City maintenance teams are hard at work ensuring the infrastructure and appeal of the city remains up-to-date and fully functional. The responsibilities of city maintenance employees has a large range with duties including the maintenance of sidewalks, city curbs, sanitation services, street maintenance, city parks, traffic and lighting, and assistance with transit needs. Tracking all of the responsibilities of maintenance around the city requires efficient processes and real-time communication among teams.

How BIM Technology is Being Used in Smart City Development

Building Information Modeling or BIM changes the future of cities around the globe. Serving as a digital representation of places by creating 3-D models of their physical and functional characteristics, the process is being explored in locations that would benefit from the smarter infrastructure. Building Information Models or BIMs are files that can be accessed and shared with appropriate parties responsible for making cities safer, more efficient, and better capable to account for a growing population of citizens.
