Aachen's most visible smart-city work sits on the street: parking sensors, a mobility dashboard, and university-led pilots backed by federal Modernitätsfonds (mFUND) research grants and the city's smart.aachen.digital network — much of it grown out of RWTH Aachen's engineering faculties rather than one central programme.

• 🇺🇸 San Francisco: SFpark Demand-Responsive Parking Aachen's video sensors from 2020 still run; San Francisco's comparable meter sensors were retired in 2013 for payment-data pricing instead.
• 🇩🇪 Bad Homburg: Smart Parking & Digital Twin Bad Homburg upgrades meters with rebates and self-service kiosks; Aachen instead reads occupancy live from 41 streetlight-mounted cameras.
• 🇩🇪 Frankfurt am Main: Traffic Pilot — City-Wide Signal Prediction Two mobility dashboards: Aachen bundles parking, bikes and EV charging; Frankfurt's app shows drivers the green-wave speed.
• 🇩🇪 Bad Homburg: Smart Parking & Digital Twin Aachen's dashboard already bundles live parking data citywide — the kind of real-time display Bad Homburg's upgrade is just adding.
