The internet of things just might be able to make your daily commute a bit smoother.

Yotta, a technology firm in Great Britain, is currently using specially-equipped vehicles to take laser measurements, accurate down to a nanometer, to create a working database of the exact state of road repair in the UK. The fleet of survey vehicles can connect all of the data gathered, including pavement conditions, bike paths, and even streetlights, into a database that can then be used to schedule maintenance in the most efficient way possible.

This technology can not only recognize current issues that need to be addressed, it can also predict future problems, based on statistical performance data.

As new assets are placed into service, they will contain sensors that will improve data gathering moving forward.

The advances in technology that help our homes get smarter, might help turn our roads into a literal information highway, as well.

US banks hold $5.81T in real estate loans, and the 'loan' label hides very different deals

U.S. commercial banks held $5.81 trillion in real estate loans in July 2026, up from $5.77T in March, according to FRED. Two REBusinessOnline deals show how different 'loans' can be: a fixed-rate refi of stabilized Boston buildings versus a tax credit and subsidy-layered senior conversion in Cleveland Heights.

  • 01The REALLN series rising from $5,765.2B (Mar 2026) to $5,810.4B (Jul 2026) is a useful benchmark for credit teams tracking whether bank real estate exposure is still expanding.
  • 02Loan packaging can differ sharply by use case: a stabilized Boston mixed-use refi and a conversion-heavy Cleveland Heights affordable senior project carry very different covenants and compliance work, even though both sit inside ‘real estate loans.’
  • 03For owners with HUD or LIHTC layers, the ongoing operating model, tenant eligibility workflows, and contractor scopes can become as important to lenders as collateral value.

Touchless upgrades scale only when hospitals can name assets and connect IWMS and BAS

Touchless upgrades scale only when hospitals can name assets and connect IWMS and BAS

FMLink cites a rise in automated facility assets such as doors, faucets, and soap dispensers, and says it is essential for facility professionals to maintain an accurate inventory of existing assets and points of contact. FMLink also points to broader adoption of Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS) and Building Automation Systems (BAS). An April 2026 review in Advanced Engineering Informatics synthesized 74 peer-reviewed articles and identifies persistent challenges including interoperability, scalability beyond pilots, cybersecurity and data privacy, and organizational adoption.

  • 01FMLink says it is essential to maintain an accurate inventory of existing assets and points of contact as automated facility assets expand.
  • 02Persistent challenges for “smart hospital” programs include interoperability between systems like IWMS, BAS and BIM or digital twin environments, scalability beyond pilots, cybersecurity and data privacy, and organizational adoption.
  • 03If facilities is being pulled into safety and emergency response duties, training budgets need to move with the work, not follow it a year later.

Smart buildings are being judged on avoided downtime, not dashboards

Smart buildings are being judged on avoided downtime, not dashboards

ABB is pitching smart buildings as adaptive systems, not monitors. The bar is prediction. The payoff shows up in avoided downtime, retrofit feasibility, and energy decisions that reflect occupant behavior, not assumed schedules.

  • 01Prediction is becoming the new acceptance test: if a smart building can’t forecast faults or drift, the dashboards are just another screen to manage.
  • 02Digital twins are moving from “nice to have” to commissioning tool, but only when the owner has a clean data model and a process to keep it current.
  • 03For portfolios heavy on legacy stock, retrofit-grade interoperability matters more than “smart by default.”
