NVIDIA and Partners Advancing Smart City AI Worldwide
NVIDIA and partners deploy smart city AI, digital twins, and video analytics to enhance urban mobility, safety, and infrastructure worldwide.
NVIDIA and its partners are accelerating the deployment of physical AI technologies to address urban challenges like traffic congestion, infrastructure aging, and climate resilience. At the Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) in Barcelona, they showcased how AI-powered solutions — from digital twins to video analytics — are transforming city operations in places like Dublin, Ho Chi Minh City, and Raleigh. These innovations are built on the NVIDIA Blueprint for smart city AI, which integrates simulation, synthetic data, and real-time vision AI.
Key Highlights
- Urbanization Surge: 2.5 billion more people expected in cities by 2050, driving demand for smarter infrastructure.
- Smart Traffic Market: Projected to hit $20B by 2027, fueled by AI-driven congestion management.
- NVIDIA Blueprint: Combines Omniverse, Cosmos models, VLMs, and Metropolis platform for scalable smart city AI.
- New Tools: Cookbooks for Cosmos Predict, Transfer, and Reason offer step-by-step workflows for intelligent traffic systems.
