C
These days, many cities are going smart. Singapore, Barcelona, and Oslo are leading the way with their own cool smart city ideas.
Singapore is already a nation of sensors (传感器). They are everywhere. One area that is controlled by the sensors is transportation. They are on all buses, trains and taxis and are used to help make sure the traffic runs smoothly. They can also predict where accidents are likely to happen. But the sensors are also used in other parts of Singaporean life. For example, they can notice if someone is dropping litter or smoking in a public place.
Barcelona has sensors to help watch the levels of air and noise pollution and to turn on and off its street lighting, making sure no energy goes to waste. For example, it has a system which checks the water levels in the grounds and predicts future rainfall, which allows it to control the city’s water usage more successfully. It also has a smart waste disposal(垃圾处理) system. People throw their waste into special bins. Then the waste is moved to underground storage(存储). Here it is sorted and recycled, and some is burned, producing energy for heating systems.
Oslo is another city with big green plans. However, it also uses smart technology to help take care of its old people. For example, it has put sensors in the homes of people who are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病). The technology allows doctors to check in with their patients to make sure all is well. It also reminds the patients of daily tasks, such as taking their medicine, by sending messages. Such technology means more old people can live in their own homes for longer.
