53 members of our InfraTech Leaders Ecosystem – from more than 25 public and private entities – met for the first time to discuss ‘quick wins' and strategic priorities based on the World Bank's InfraTech Policy Toolkit, developed earlier this year to support the Riyadh G20 InfraTech Agenda.
V2V technologies are Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) that enable communication between vehicles to avoid accidents and and enable the optimisation of traffic flow.
A dynamic tolling algorithm recalibrates toll rates based on traffic congestion and local conditions every few minutes and is a tool to manage traffic demand through pricing.
Decentralised microgrids enable 'prosumers' to trade their surplus energy, resulting in reduced cost, increased use of renewables, and reduced demand on the energy grid.
Digital technology integrated into smart containers enable accurate near real-time monitoring and control of the condition, location and the environment of shipping containers.
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.
Digital technology to enable regulators to measure water abstracted and use data for compliance and enforcement purposes.
Pedestrian and weather sensors installed at road intersections to adapt traffic light operation to match real time demand and safety requirements.
Advanced traffic management systems improve the performance of road services through the use of sensors, GPS, smart cameras, and weather information systems.
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.
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.
