“ Analytics will deliver deeper insights around fan behaviours , allowing operations teams to monitor and control network traffic in real-time . This will make it easier to quickly troubleshoot and resolve any issues so that the fan experience isn ’ t impacted ,” Ahmed explains .
A key area that is set to be transformed by smart city connectivity is transportation . And , once implemented , these smart transport systems will seamlessly address some of events ’ biggest pain points .
“ Almost everyone has experienced times when public transport has been overwhelmed or roads have become gridlocked around high-profile events . Smart cities will help minimise this disruption . For example , intelligent transportation networks can ease congestion through advanced traffic light systems and tube sensors that identify carriage capacities . Or smart parking solutions can make it easier for drivers to find free spaces and pay through apps ,” Ahmed explains .
“ The data and connectivity offered by smart city infrastructure will offer a lot of opportunities for event organisers to improve attendee experiences and minimise disruptions for the surrounding area ; it will just be a matter of taking advantage of them .”
Uniting smart homes , smart devices and smart experiences When predicting the value of our future smart cities , you could take the macro view of global industries and the operations of huge enterprises , or you could zoom in , and assess the impact that this technology will have on individual people .
