Improve your citizens’ quality of life

Narrow roads and high vehicle traffic density make driving difficult, especially the daily search for a parking space; it not only costs time and money, but results in frayed nerves. Bosch is developing solutions that simplify parking altogether — right from the search for spaces to the parking manuever itself — whether on the street or in a parking lot.

The free charging apps allow drivers of electric vehicles to conveniently charge their cars using public charging infrastructure. Using the apps, you can locate and use just about any web-enabled public charging point. Electromobility made easy, whenever and wherever you want. Bosch provides the apps in collaboration with various OEM partners (e.g. Charge&Pay for Mercedes-Benz).

With the intermodal transportation platform, commuters can conveniently choose from among different means of transport for the route they want to take. Live data supplies the basis for an informed decision about costs, availability, and realistic travel time. Tickets cover the complete route and all modes of transport, such as local public transit, car- and bike-sharing, and even taxis.

The micro-climate monitoring system is a comprehensive air quality monitoring system that helps measure and evaluate the concentration of air pollutants in a specific region. Both, governments and industries, can leverage data metrics collected from the system to devise stringent air pollution control measures.

Bosch’s telematics services offer fleet operators detailed real-time information for intelligent fleet management. The services allow them to reduce total costs per vehicle, schedule inspections and repairs more effectively, and manage vehicle capacity utilization more conveniently.

The central communication and integration platform links municipal and public services. It connects city and community stakeholders (e.g. residents, tourists, government) together with certain parts of the public infrastructure (e.g. cafés, restaurants, retailers) and other service providers (e.g. mobility services).

Bosch offers a wide range of networked video surveillance solutions for efficiently monitoring public areas in cities. These enable faster detection and prosecution of crimes and, in many cases, constitute effective deterrents that prevent crimes from being committed in the first place.

The VPP bundles the flexibilities of distributed energy resources (e.g. wind farms, solar plants, energy storage units, electric vehicles). The forecasting of power production and demand as well as data analytics for grid monitoring are the basis for optimizing revenues from diverse energy trading options. They help to monitor and optimize grid stability by offering grid ancillary services.

Connected heat generators allow more than just safe remote access for the operators: thanks to a gateway to customer service, the machine’s condition can be assessed remotely and malfunctions reduced or even prevented. Operators can also access and control their systems remotely and conveniently evaluate system efficiency.

Storage is the key technology for an efficient and reliable integration of fluctuating wind and solar energy. Bosch offers intelligent turnkey battery solutions, enabling innovative energy supply concepts for communities and commercial, and industrial customers. The advanced control strategy and operational services maximize the revenues from renewables and storage.

The Connected Building solution links together key building equipment inside commercial buildings. The software analyzes and interprets building data and transforms it into valuable information. It enables building owners and managers to remotely monitor and control their buildings along with infrastructure.

The new home appliances and smart home devices with connectivity functions open up completely new possibilities at home. It is possible to control and monitor all appliances and smart home devices (also from partners) remotely and conveniently from the smartphone or tablet. This makes the everyday life even easier.
