This smart city use case library is designed to provide all the insights a borough might require to move forward with designing and deploying a usecase in their area, including outcomes, benefits, key stakeholders to engage, lessons learned, commissioning details (costs and technology implemented).
LOTI has pulled together this library of smart city use cases to help boroughs in London learn from each other.
If you are London Borough or other London Local Gov organisation and would like to share a use case, get in touch!
Discrete home monitoring of vulnerable residents to enable them to live independently by detecting changes in activity that may require interventions.

Using sensors to monitor ASB (anti-social behaviour), and areas where action may be required to avert accidents or situations developing, by putting in preventative measures.
Using road users and air quality monitoring to provide detailed insights into traffic patterns, air pollution policy implications in residential areas, strategic planning and to respond to FOI requests and council member enquiries.
