A recent report from Navigant Research highlights the impact of smart street management technologies on city operations, including street lighting, urban mobility, waste collection, and public safety, with global market forecasts, through 2024.

Smart streets are becoming a key element in the unfolding smart city vision. Technologies like smart street lighting, connected vehicles, smart buildings, and more are anticipated to be adopted at an accelerating rate during the next two years, becoming ubiquitous by 2024. According to a recent report from @NavigantRSRCH, the global smart street solutions market is expected to total $23.8 billion between 2015 and 2024.

“Streets are no longer just a point of physical connection, but also a point of virtual connection to a wide range of service providers and information sources,” says Eric Woods, research director with Navigant Research. “The street itself is becoming a rich source of data on current activities and the status of street assets.”
