The Connected & Intelligent Places SIG aims to drive innovation and collaboration at the intersection of built environment, mobility, and connectivity. By combining expertise from smart cities and the transport sectors, the SIG focuses on creating sustainable, efficient, and inclusive environments where people, infrastructure, and technology interact seamlessly.
The Connected & Intelligent Places SIG serves as a collaborative platform inform, inspire and promote transformative solutions that enhance how we live, move, and interact within our places.
Our Core Objectives:
- Integrated Mobility and Infrastructure - Explore advancements in connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs), intelligent transport systems (ITS), and sustainable mobility solutions to enhance the movement of people and goods in urban and rural settings.
- Smart, Sustainable Urban Development - Investigate how IoT, AI, data analytics, and emerging technologies can support sustainable city planning, energy efficiency, and environmental resilience.
- Seamless Connectivity and Interoperability - Promote the development of robust, scalable communication networks (5G/6G, V2X) and interoperable systems that underpin connected infrastructure and services.
- Data-Driven Decision Making - Address the collection, analysis, and ethical use of data to improve public services, safety, environmental monitoring, and citizen engagement.
- Sustainability and Climate Resilience - Drive innovation in green technologies, energy management, and low-emission transport systems to support global climate goals and urban resilience.
- Industry Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange - Facilitate cross-sector collaboration between technology providers, transport operators, urban planners, startups, academia, and government to accelerate scalable solutions.
