Other innovations are the Smart Trash, Smart Parking, KAN Application and the use of CCTV in Khon Kaen Municipality. The following job is to public relate these innovations so that the people will use them. Then Khon Kaen will be the prototype city in terms of the use of digital technology for efficient city administration and management. If interested, KAN Smart City (KK Smart City) applications can be downloaded. This central application includes the various Smart City systems within it and can be downloaded now both for iOS and android.
