Smart City
ALEC for smart cities - parking sensors, air quality monitoring, traffic management with 86% data reduction.
Use Cases
Smart Parking
Thousands of parking spot sensors across the city. ALEC sends only state changes (occupied/free), achieving near-perfect compression for stable states.
Air Quality Monitoring
Dense network of pollution sensors providing real-time air quality data. ALEC learns baseline patterns and efficiently encodes variations and pollution events.
Traffic Management
Vehicle counters, speed sensors, and intersection monitors. Real-time traffic data enables adaptive signal control and congestion prediction.
Waste Management
Fill-level sensors in bins and containers for optimized collection routes. Most bins change slowly; ALEC only transmits when action is needed.
Quick Integration
use alec::{Encoder, Priority, Context};
fn main() {
let mut ctx = Context::new();
let encoder = Encoder::new(&mut ctx);
// Your sensor reading
let value = 23.5;
// Encode with automatic priority detection
let message = encoder.encode(value, Priority::Auto);
// Send over your network
network.send(message.as_bytes());
}"We increased our sensor density 10x without any network upgrades. ALEC compression means we can monitor every parking spot, every bin, and every intersection in real-time."
