Smart wireless sensors embedded in parking spots can gather the real-time status of metered parking spots and track if a spot is occupied, empty, or expired. They can then transmit this information to a data management system, linked to a mobile application for drivers. Smarter parking can eliminate labor inefficiencies associated with parking enforcement.

Singapore has adopted an Intelligent Transport strategy that uses an Electronic Road Pricing system where the tolls vary according to traffic flows. An Expressway Monitoring and Advisory System helps to alert motorists to traffic accidents on major roads and a GPS system for taxis reports on traffic conditions. Data collected from these systems is fed into a central control center, which consolidates the data to provide real-time traffic information to the public.
