Description

Public works organizations are making smart communities a reality. And they are doing this with the adoption of smart technologies and their integration with a geographic information system (GIS). From location-enabled devices, drones, augmented reality, and machine learning, public works professionals are using location as the standard analytical approach to achieving new insight and improved performance. Increasingly, sensors, the internet of things, and cloud computing are feeding data on the locations of people, nature, vehicles, and infrastructure. Public works departments have access to more tools and data than ever before and are leading their communities towards a more prosperous and well-run future. This session will showcase examples of organizations using Esri’s Smart Community Information System to optimize urban mobility, address and respond to humans in crisis, monitor drone traffic, leverage artificial intelligence for infrastructure management, and design and support a sensor-driven world.
