What smart technology does Singapore have?

Singapore has already started implementing their smart technology, and has many plans for the future.

The main innovation is the Vehicle to Everything, or the V2X for short. It includes two parts, which are the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) and the vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I).

Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V)

• Allows cars on a wireless network to communicate with each other (inter-vehicle communication)
• Increase traffic safety

Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I)

• Allows traffic lights, road signs, and security cameras to talk to each other, to cars on the road and straight back to a centralized government agency
• Used in improving the Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) System
• Calculate prices for congestion charge

Other smart technology used in Singapore includes:

Smart Cameras

• Located at crossings
• Can tell cars that pedestrians are ahead
• Traffic lights and road signs will be able to self regulate the flow of traffic around a city
• Cars with know of traffic diversions before encountering them
• Smart camera feedback can identify cars, busses, and pedestrians

SingPass

• Digital identification system that works with banks to automatically fill out forms
• In the future, it will be used to automatically bill ERP road users, and it is starting to securely store medical information so doctors can easily access it
