smart cities

Cracking in clay is an important phenomenon that affects the long-term durability of many civil structures such as dams, levees, embankments, and landfills….Distributed fiber optic sensors (DFOS) were embedded…for strain monitoring

FOSA Smart Cities Committee Chair Dr. Giovanni Milione, NEC, was a member of the expert roundtables associated with this CSIS paper: how to promote best governance practices and ensure preferred technologies and standards for global smart cities

FOSA announced the three winners of its first Innovation and Project Awards, Fotech, Hifi, and Optasense. The award’s presentation to the honorees was made in Washington at the association’s annual member meeting.

NEC Intelligent Optical Fiber Sensing Solution…allows Communications Service Providers and optical fiber owners from around the world to utilize optical fiber as a sensor. This solution contributes to infrastructure maintenance by using AI to analyze vibrations detected with optical fibers

researchers at NEC have shown it is possible to monitor traffic using “lit” fiber after separating out sensor and telecom data. Giovanni Milione of NEC Laboratories America, and colleagues used such fiber in Dallas and New Jersey to record the speed of cars as accurately as can be done with cameras

Congresswoman Suzan DelBene (WA-01) and Smart Cities Caucus Chair Yvette D. Clarke (NY-09) introduced the Smart Cities and Communities Act to promote the use of smart city technologies and enhance federal coordination of these programs. This legislation is endorsed by FOSA.

innovative sources of real-world data to calibrate a widely used empirical relationship in traffic engineering….relationship between traffic volume and speed….This would benefit the transportation planning by pinpointing the bottlenecks
