How IoT Is Enhancing Structural Health Monitoring (SHM)
IoT provides value beyond visualization in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) by extracting insights at a massive speed and scale, often with the help of AI. IoT connectivity is enabling continuous monitoring solutions that extend structural lifetimes, improve safety and compliance and optimize operations.
Future Urban Growth and Its Energy Requirements
This article extends our Smart City Series, discussing design considerations for green cities. It argues that by leveraging a mix of passive and active solutions including housing retrofits, urban densification, development of smart grids and electrification of a shared autonomous vehicle pool, we can begin to meet the needs of our generation without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own.
