All of these devices are considered \u201csmart\u201d because of their capacity to&nbsp;<strong>provide data<\/strong>&nbsp;on the user&#8217;s status&nbsp; , location, and measurements or even to&nbsp;<strong>receive instructions<\/strong>&nbsp;remotely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Increasing use of connected sensors and devices in cities for controlling, for example, watering systems in gardens, street lighting, the energy used in hospitals, or air pollution, means that these technologies are of particular interest for us as they allow greater control of the services delivered to local governments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/blog\/en\/2018\/01\/the-connected-vehicle\/\" title=\"The Internet of Things: definition and examples of how it is used | Ferrovial - Ferrovial\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"dofollow noopener noreferrer\">Connected car<\/a>&nbsp;initiatives are also on the rise. Vehicle fleets fitted with numerous sensors can control parameters such as vehicle consumption, location, condition of the engine, movement of certain parts, and so on All of this information can be used to prolong the useful life of such assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, our&nbsp;<strong>Digital Hub&nbsp;<\/strong>is working on the&nbsp;<strong>development of a corporate IoT platform<\/strong>&nbsp;specializing in the management of devices of this type, remote interaction with the devices, and centralized storage of all data collected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this innovative approach, our business units can&nbsp; rely on this IoT platform by using such technologies to aid project development and maintain a consistent level of performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrovial.com\/blog\/en\/2016\/04\/how-the-internet-of-things-can-transform-infrastructure-maintenance\/\" title=\"How the Internet of Things can transform infrastructure maintenance -
