The development of credit ratings for loans in emerging countries is critical for accessing capital markets
The African Development Bank (AfDB) is mandated to drive social and economic development in Africa through multiple project types including infrastructure
Smart street lighting adapts to traffic and light conditions. It can use sensors to detect cars/cyclists/pedestrians and automatically adjust lighting levels along their trip.
Digital technology integrated into smart containers enable accurate near real-time monitoring and control of the condition, location and the environment of shipping containers.
Smart meters collect and transmit real time water usage data from users, which can be used for billing, improve water efficiency and enhance customer experience.
An alternative means of conducting waste management and cleaning in stations through robots that spray cleaning chemicals (e.g. hydrogen peroxide) onto surfaces.
Combination of sensors and AI to increase sewer capacity and reduce the frequency and magnitude of sewer overflows, especially during high rainfall events.
Remote sensors, UAVs and satellite technologies to monitor water bodies for algal blooms and provide early warnings of potential health risks to the general public.
Advanced traffic management systems improve the performance of road services through the use of sensors, GPS, smart cameras, and weather information systems.
Pedestrian and weather sensors installed at road intersections to adapt traffic light operation to match real time demand and safety requirements.
Combination of sensors and machine learning to predict timelines and modes of failure for physical and mechanical assets such as pipes, pumps, and motors.
Building Information Modelling (BIM) and pre-fabrication technology being used in conjunction to enable the project to be built virtually before construction, reducing issues or inefficiencies that can arise during the construction stage.
UN ESCAP supports governments in Asia-Pacific in implementing measures to efficiently involve the private sector in infrastructure development.
Mobility as a Service (MaaS) uses a digital platform to integrates end-to-end trip planning, booking, ticketing, and payment across all modes of transportation.
This use case explores technologies that decrease Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment processes.
A combination of digital solutions and treatment technologies can enable last-mile access to clean water through water kiosks and smart metering.
