Napi.hu reports that nowadays, people often see the term “smart city” on popular social media sites and the Internet, and that towns and cities need to become smart. The government also supports the smart city programme because last year, Viktor Orbán signed a contract about a smart city platform which would be tested in Monor.
Why was Monor chosen for testing? The city has approximately 18,500 residents and is one of the most significant cities in the county. It is also a critical junction point in the country and has developed a railway and bus system.
The majority of the city reported that the development of the project would start this year and will be finished by 2020.
The smart city programme includes the establishing of smart lamps which only light the roads, streets and sidewalks if they sense movement. If it does not, it will light the road with a much smoother light. Also, the city is planning to establish a smart bicycle route as well. Moreover, the city would like to launch a computer system which could control all the estates in Monor and save money for the local government.
The next investment is the smart public restroom in the centre of Monor which would send a text message to the local authorities if it senses freezing weather, lack of electricity and water, plugging or if someone is in danger.
