Syracuse, NY improve snow removal with software
To better respond to residents and provide transparency about snow removal, the city is now using a three-pronged software approach which includes ESRI’s ArcGIS Velocity product paired with Samsara’s cloud-based location technology, which updates the Snow Operations Map with a plow’s location every few seconds. The third vendor is Rubicon, which offers a platform Syracuse uses year-round for management and routing of snow and waste removal vehicle fleets.

Washington, DC uses automated cameras for bus lane enforcement
WMATA buses in the District of Columbia are now using automated cameras to enforce bus-only lanes and bus stop zones. The new initiative, called Clear Lanes, is modeled after similar programs, including San Francisco and New York City, and will be the first to use automated camera technology to enforce bus stop zones in addition to bus-only lanes.

Wagga Wagga, NSW trials plastic mesh reinforcement technology during road rehabilitation process
The Wagga Wagga City Council has approved the use of Geogrid reinforcement technology in the rehabilitation of several roads as part of its program of major civil works currently underway. The Council has been looking for innovative construction options to improve the road rehabilitation process, and the goal of the Geogrid is to minimize cracking in the wearing course due to environmental factors such as seasonal temperature fluctuations and the stabilization of the gravel in the pavement.

New York, NY Street Deliveristas Hubs help growing ranks of app-based delivery workers
Local officials will use a $1 million federal grant on infrastructure for the city's 65,000 delivery workers. Street Deliveristas Hubs turn disused newsstands, outdoor dining spaces, and transit stops into shelter from the elements. Workers can rest, charge their e-bikes or phones, and check their apps without obstructing sidewalks or streets. This first-in-the-U.S. pilot uses feedback from delivery workers during site selection and hub design.

Hertfordshire County Council, GB partners with AWS on AI-powered traffic monitoring platform
County officials wanted a monitoring solution for automated and standardized data collection. Videos from local traffic cameras are sent through an app built on AWS Amplify to the AWS Rekognition tool for analysis. Traffic types, directions, and speeds are documented before image deletion. Twelve-hour sections of video can be correctly categorized in as little as two hours. The platform is easy to access without training and reduces personnel time spent on traffic counts.

Graz, STE tests LMT's traffic monitoring tool for improved road safety and enforcement
Municipal officials sought a low-cost tool for capturing traffic trends and potential violations. LMT's AI-powered platform evaluates video footage and categorizes different types of traffic. This system monitors bus lane use by passenger vehicles, illegal turns, and red-light violations. Light-mounted sensors are installed and maintained without additional construction. Pilot data from a high-traffic intersection will shape Graz's future use of the technology.
