Cloud technology will be the backbone infrastructure for more sustainable cities of the future, but you can start transforming your city today. AWS and our partner ecosystem can help you implement smart city solutions to support your goals around energy efficiency, air quality, intelligent transportation, public safety, public health, and other programs focused on improving quality of life for your citizens.

4. Boston’s Street Bump
gathers real-time
Crowdsourcing data
from Citizens, using
smartphone apps that
provide GPS and
Accelerometer data to
pinpoint the location of
potholes that need
repair.
5. PetaJakarta brings
mobile mapping and
flood information; 28
million citizens share
information via Twitter,
augmented by water-
level-sensing devices.
6. Working with system
integrator Pinacl, Newport
used the Davra
ConnecThing.io IoT platform
from AWS Marketplace to
connect sensors and create a
unified city dashboard.
Newport wanted to implement
IoT proofs of concept to
improve flood control, waste
management, and air quality
measurement—without
buying and managing costly
server infrastructure.
• Deployment in weeks
instead of months
• Ability to start with just a
few sensors and scale up
as needed
• Freedom to experiment at
low cost and risk

“Pinacl presented a smart city solution with the Davra
ConnecThing.io platform from AWS Marketplace in
record time. We were able to complete a full evaluation
ahead of schedule and quickly see our smart city
initiative, the Newport Intelligence Hub, coming to light.

11. Moovit: Smart Public Transportation
Mobile app turns bus and train riders
into real-time sensors for city gov’t
Integrates with city back-end
systems to improve both service and
rider experience
Powered worldwide by the AWS Cloud
12. Body Worn Cameras
Smartest body-worn technology in the world, incorporating real-
time communications for the best situational awareness
possible during the most critical times.
Automatic recording triggers based on policies, officer down
reporting and alerting, live video streaming, and secure
automatic wireless offload to AWS cloud storage.
Video, audio and metadata can be accessed through its cloud-
based digital evidence management solution, AVaiL Web™.
Utility’s Rocket IoT™ in-car video and Smart Redaction™
application for releasing video to the public, also leverage AWS
cloud storage. Providing mission critical mobile intelligence.
13. • Leveraging AWS IoT for connecting
millions of smart meters and exposing
their data to several applications
running in AWS
• Includes C3 IoT for grid monitoring,
fraud detection, and energy
maintenance.
Next Generation Smart Meters
14. Precision
Agriculture
Precision agriculture depends on
knowing your precise location on
a field.
John Deere uses Real Time
Kinematics (RTK) and correction
signals to provide farmers’
equipment with sub-inch
accuracy.
15. Problem
Pentair provides water filtration systems
equipped with sensors to fish farms and
large industrial brewing customers. Most of
their industrial customers are located in
geographies with unreliable internet
connectivity. They need to send data from
sensors and devices to the cloud while
continuously maintaining connection which is
challenging in remote areas.
Solution
From Pentair’s water filtration systems, data
is sent to AWS IoT Core. When connectivity is
limited, AWS Greengrass provides Pentair
with a local connection so data is never lost.
Impact
Pentair can make decisions in near real-time
that impact the health of its devices but also
the health of the fish which in turn, results in
better yields, prevents the spread of disease
and lowers cost of operations.

Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs Integrates Data
from 100+ cities on AWS
The Smart Cities Mission
wanted to set up a state-of-
the-art India Urban
Observatory to plug into the
myriad sources of data from
cities, both from real-time
and archival sources.
The organization chose to
host the solution on AWS
Cloud. The platform enables
seamless integration of data
coming from a variety of
solutions and different
environments including
solutions hosted on-premise.
•The time taken from idea to
execution was 5 weeks.
•Scalable platform moving from
500 data sets to 500,000 data
sets.
