Wireless sensor networks on the street know which parking spots are free and will direct you straight to a free space. Then the city uses that real-time information for dynamic meter pricing, discouraging driving when car traffic is too high. San Francisco is already trying the idea. If it works, it will be good for motorists, for the city, and for the environment.

The stage is set for a major change in the way instruments communicate their values with control and asset management systems. With the debut of HART 7, the possibility is now open to collect signals through both wires and wireless systems, making data collection much simpler to organise and maintain. This may turn out to be the ‘killer application’ of the decade.
