GAO Case Studies

Atlanta, Georgia, USA

IoT sensors were deployed across a downtown district to monitor air quality, noise, and traffic conditions. The system helped reduce emergency response time and supported the city's green initiative.

Chicago, Illinois, USA

Smart infrastructure sensors were installed in a water management network to detect leaks and improve consumption forecasting. This reduced waste and increased infrastructure longevity.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

City officials implemented IoT sensors in public transit shelters to monitor temperature, humidity, and maintenance needs. The solution led to reduced maintenance costs and improved commuter experience.
