Smart Transportation Projects: Foundations for Sustainable Urban Futures
Urban centers face escalating congestion, inefficient street lighting, and complex traffic patterns. With projections that nearly 70 % of the global population will live in cities by 2050, smart‑city initiatives—ranging from autonomous vehicles to connected streetlights—are essential for energy savings, public safety, and climate resilience.
In a recent interview, Steve Griffith, Industry Director at the National Electrical Manufacturers Association, shared his vision for how autonomous vehicles, smart lighting, and intelligent parking will reshape future cities. He also emphasized the critical role of industry standards, the rollout of 5G networks, and the adoption of security‑by‑design principles.
