New York is home to a multitude of tech companies and is behind a number of smart projects . The city has adopted smart sensors and charger points with embedded wi-fi , which are located throughout the city . This technology has even been implanted in park benches , which will also utilise solar power and enable workers to analyse foot traffic around the city and manage waste collection . The rise of IoT is also seen here , with the aim to reduce carbon emissions . The city has been piloting a Traffic Signal Priority project , which enables the identification of buses at a red light , and are able to reduce the waiting time for public transport and reduce delays for passengers on the move .
