GAO Case Studies

San Diego, California, USA

San Diego implemented our Smart Emergency Response System to modernize its emergency services. Integrated with smart traffic controls and GIS mapping, the city improved its average emergency response time by 35%, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency.

Houston, Texas, USA

Houston deployed our platform to support rapid disaster recovery following hurricanes. The system’s drone surveillance and emergency personnel tracking allowed the city to allocate resources more effectively and reduce emergency call backlog by 40%.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Toronto leveraged ICity Tek’s system for flood management across the city’s storm-prone zones. The deployment of real-time water level sensors and predictive analytics helped prevent over $5 million in property damage during the 2024 spring floods.
