Dublin, the capital city of Ireland is bringing the future of smart technology to our streets and parks, from Balbriggan to the Docklands, the smart benches are a visible expression of Dublin Smart City. Powered by solar panels, the bench offers wireless mobile phone charging facility, and sockets for charging electric bikes. The bench is installed with sensors that will collect data on temperature, humidity, energy production and how much energy it consumes which can later be collected by authorities.
