Vehicular Networks for
Smart Cities
The most cost-effective way to:
• offer free WiFi in urban transport,
increasing number of passengers,
reducing emissions and generating
additional revenue
• acquire real-time city-scale data
from cheap WiFi sensors to increase
safety and efficiency of municipal
operations (e.g. traffic, waste
collection, etc.)
