There is still a lot of room to relieve Macau’s traffic pressure, the deputy director of the University of Macau’s (UM) State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City, Jia Weijia, said yesterday, adding that his laboratory is drafting a “smart mobility” plan slated to be released before the end of the first half of next year at the latest for the government’s reference.
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers of Macau (IEEE) held a seminar on “Smart City and Internet of Things” at the Macau Science Centre in Nape yesterday.
Jia told reporters before the seminar that artificial intelligence (AI) and big data can be used in different industries, pointing out that the local government is developing Macau into a smart city. According to Jia, there has been great progress in the city’s 5G technology, transportation system, and energy development.
