The “smart infrastructure” — more efficient and environmentally friendlier systems for managing, among other things, commuter traffic, food distribution, electric grids and waterways — will use low-cost wireless sensors and clever software for analytics and visualization, as well as computing firepower.
Benefits: big reductions in energy used, greenhouse gases emitted, and natural resources consumed.
