Hull has just added its name next to Las Vegas, Copenhagen and Jaipur on the list of smart cities around the world, as the Yorkshire port city begins using what it is calls its own operating system to centralise data management and manage resources more efficiently.
Using Internet of Things (IoT) sensors distributed around the city to provide data in real-time data, Hull City Council says it will be able to better control street lighting, refuse collection, parking and traffic congestion, with the goal of providing better services at a reduced cost.
The council is working with a local telecoms service provider, Connexin, which built on Cisco’s Kinetic for Cities platform – a subscription-based software that lets city operators view and manage data from multiple sensors, and from a single panel.
