Smokey says: avoid streaming video to fight climate change! [see more tips]

Smart cities are networked urban environments, where the transport systems, buildings, street lighting, energy systems, water networks, municipal services and more are connected to a computer network and managed electronically, with the purpose of maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of those systems.

A smart city can improve the quality of community services, optimize allocation of resources, and reduce waste and pollution, providing significant long-lasting benefits for the surrounding population, economy and environment. More..

Hospital Security System

I'm developing a system to prevent unauthorized removal of newborns from hospital nurseries. My idea involves using a paper RFID tag bracelet on each baby and an alarm triggered when someone exits the nursery without proper authorization. Additionally, I'd like to disable the hand waving sensor for entering the nursery unless security personnel enter a PIN on the keypad. My questions are:

How can I deactivate the hand waving sensor upon unauthorized removal?

Can I achieve this through the platform or does it require microcontroller modifications?

How Do You Say, Follow that Air Taxi in French?? Olympics 2024

Air taxi maker races to serve Paris Olympics as sector struggles for funds | Reuters

The demand for skilled drone pilots is expanding rapidly across various industries and now even the taxi sector is jumping on board.

The similarity between the flight controllers of these vehicles and video game controllers is becoming more evident each day. Interestingly, there's a deeper connection between drone technology and piloting flying cars compared to traditional airplane flight training. The skills and expertise gained from drone piloting provide a unique advantage in mastering the controls of these futuristic vehicles.

This advantage extends particularly to the younger generations, such as Gen Z and possibly even Gen Alpha. With their decade-long experience using gaming controls and honed hand-to-screen coordination, they are well-positioned to excel in this emerging field.

Quiet, clean, convenient, everything a Smartcity wants.

Smart cities get smarter with quantum

I’ve always been curious about smart cities, and how technology is yet to be used to its full advantage. https://quantumcybersec.substack.com/p/building-the-city-of-the-future-how?sd=pf

Cybercrime, though, seems inevitable with smart cities. What productive steps could be taken to limit that?

Microsoft Eclipse Air monitoring system

Does any of you have heard of this technology?

I'm currently looking for the price range but i can't find anything online.

I couldn't find a sub for non-indoor air monitoring, so don't be afraid to refer me elsewhere!

Research interview request: Smart Cities

Hi, I am in the process of looking for interview candidates for my master's dissertation which is looking at the integration of historic buildings with smart city sectors. Specifically, I need a candidate who is UK based, working in the built environment or with smart city technology and is willing to give up 15 minutes of their time.

The result of the interview will be written out in transcript and the interviewee will remain anonymous. If there is anybody willing to help please contact me on this post. Thanks!
