Smart Airports are airports that rely on the use of connected technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, GPS and sensors to perform planning and operations tasks digitally and support operational staff, optimising passenger flows and the activities of the airport staff across the airport
A Smart Motorway is a section of a motorway that uses traffic management methods, involving information, communications and control systems incorporated in to and alongside the road, to improve road safety, increase capacity and reduce congestion in particularly busy areas
A microgrid is a network of interconnected local generation sources such as solar, hydro and diesel supply electricity to a relatively small number of local users, completely independently of the central electricity grid
Autonomous Shipping Ports can utilize some, or all, of the following five main components to deliver more efficient, productive and safe port operations: Automated equipment - Automated equipment can include automated robots, vehicles and cranes (see also the Automated Robot Cranes Use Case) that automate processes including ship to shore, yard operations, ground transportation, maintenance and gate automation without direct human involvement
A Virtual Power Plant (VPP) is a cloud-based system that integrates several types of Distributed Energy Resources (DER) such as wind farms, solar parks, and combined heat and power units, as well as flexible power consumers and storage systems
Geothermal energy (thermal energy produced by and stored in the earth) produces electricity by using steam to rotate a turbine that activates a generator
Smart Stations are areas of influence in a city, delivering the accessibility and connectivity aspects of transport strategies: they are unique in terms of role, location, services and use in terms of time and space
