Data visualization: Three tips to plan a smarter city

Fujitsu / March 23, 2023

More than one third of the global population will live in urban areas by 2030, according to the United Nations. The global spike in population is putting city planners under pressure to cut greenhouse gas emissions from congested areas.

A Fujitsu expert on new mobility has come up with three ways in which IT services could help regional administrators design a greener city.

Improving traffic in cities

Takehiro Miyoshi, a leader in the Fujitsu Uvance initiative, and an expert of new types of transportation says optimizing the use of car-sharing systems is the key to designing a net-zero city.
“10 years ago, we only had to discuss ways to reduce the number of gasoline cars to protect the environment,” says Takehiro. “But now, eco-friendly sharing services are part of our everyday life. And for city planners, the algorithms required to cut CO2 have become a bit more complicated than they used to be.”

Takehiro says technology can help make city planning much easier. One solution developed by Fujitsu Limited and its Swedish partner Hexagon is targeted at administrative users who want to simulate the impacts of new policies before implementing them.
The Traffic Simulation & Analysis map solution can bring together all data related to transportation.
