Challenge:
Reeves Road’s closure in East Auckland led to severe congestion. Commuters lacked real-time data to plan routes effectively, and the disruption risked project delays and safety concerns for road workers.

Solution:
Smart City NZ deployed Smart Variable Message Signs (SmartVMS), powered by Bluetooth tracking technology. These sensors monitored vehicles in real-time, capturing speeds, travel times, and congestion patterns. Integrated with public transport APIs, the solar-powered signs displayed accurate, dynamic travel times for cars and public transport.

Results:
Commuters enjoyed smoother journeys with informed decision-making, reducing congestion and stress. SmartVMS increased public transport use, enhanced work zone safety, and kept the project on track.

What our
customers say

We have used “Smart VMS” boards at Lincoln Road Rehab starting from 3rd January 2024 to 20th January 2024. The boards were very effective in informing the public which detour to use. This minimised complaints and prevented traffic build up. We will definitely use Smart City again for their expertise. We were complimented by Auckland Transport on how we managed this project and made traffic management a high priority. Thank you for the good service.

Siva Govender, Rehad Project Manager - Ventia

We’ve had a great experience working with Smart City. Ben and his team have consistently provided reliable and high-quality data services, helping us streamline our operations and make informed decisions to suit our clients requirements. The support and responsiveness we’ve received have been excellent, making Smart City a valued partner for Parallaxx.

Joni Alison, Services Manager - Parallaxx

We engaged Smart City to utilise their Smart VMS boards to display live journey time information for private car vs public transport. Ben was equally passionate about our project, prompt with responses, shared helpful information and was flexible with our changing timeline. I would highly recommend getting in touch with Smart City to see how their innovative technology solutions can support your goals.

Sophie Preston, PT Growth Development Specialist at Auckland Transport

Being a smart city comes back to monitoring and sensing everything in real time.

That means we can see how the city moves and how it reacts to things. Then we can roll with the punches in an informed way.
