Kansas City Enters ‘Phase 2’ of Its Smart City Transformation
Source: Route Fifty
Kansas City, Missouri is entering the second phase of its smart city program with greater appreciation for sensor-generated data and its ability to finetune algorithms to predict future behavior. The city deployed more than 325 public access Wi-Fi points and 128 smart streetlights across its 54-block downtown streetcar corridor, which feeds into a data lake aggregated by Cisco Kinetic for Cities. “There is a greater value to the data we maintain as a city than we anticipated,” says Bob Bennett, Kansas City’s chief innovation officer. |
