Government budgets seem to get trimmed more each year. But citizens and companies still expect broad services.
Machine-to-machine solutions can help increase the number of automated and electronic services, pleasing
residents while lightening the time and fiscal burden on governments. M2M public sector applications can provide
an advantage in everything from traffic, public transport, parking services, waste and water management to
environmental services.
Public Transport Description
M2M services can help public transport providers implement equipment flexibly, keep passengers informed and
smooth ticketing services. Vehicles equipped with telemetric connections can collect data on their own
performance and send alerts when deviations are detected. Ticket machines can also send warnings on potential
failures and collect massive amounts of data on purchasing patterns and times. Problem on the subway tracks?
Sensors in trains can detect the problems and automatically inform dispatchers.
Benefits for Public Transport Authorities:
- Lower costs and encourages economical driving
- Integrated services linking traffic, parking and public transport
- Real-time data for optimizing equipment and personnel usage
Benefits for Residents:
- Improved traffic safety
- Less downtime and fewer delayed trains and buses
- More environmentally friendly
Public infrastructure
Every government has a broad network of infrastructure whether it's roads and bridges or sewers and waste dumps.
M2M solutions can allow governments to keep an eye on everything through remote monitoring and even simplify
daily maintenance by automating tasks including remote parking controls on lots, selective light activation,
raising gates or increasing flows of drinking water. Lower costs. Increase services.
Benefits for Governments:
- Lower energy consumption and electricity costs
- Remotely monitor and control property
- Swifter maintenance and repairs
Benefits for Residents:
- Increased urban safety
- New services
- Lower costs
Environmental Monitoring
Environmental monitoring is vital to verify environmental stress, understand local patterns and evaluate the
effectiveness of policies and programs. Environmental monitoring doesn't mean just air – water, soil and plant
life are also included. M2M communications can automate sample taking and even automatically transfer results
between responsible agencies. M2M solutions should be part of a smart environmental monitoring program.
Benefits for State and Federal Government Agencies:
- Lower costs for field analysis
- Improved data collection for management and conservation
- Innovative analysis tools
Benefits for Residents:
- Improved environmental policies
- Early warning systems
- Improved parks and environment
