Smart loading zones help cities take back the curb
This story was originally published on Smart Cities Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Smart Cities Dive newsletter. As competition for curb space grows, technologies like IoT devices are making it possible for cities to implement smart loading zones. Studies show they're contributing to smoother traffic flow and improved safety. Typically coordinated through an app that drivers — often delivery or ride share drivers — can use to reserve a specific curb space for a set period, smart loading zones require thorough planning, open communication and coordination between city officials and legislators to address any regulatory changes needed. Using funding from a grant, Pittsburgh launched a smart loading zone program in 2021 that has grown from 20 to 75 locations, said David G. Onorato, executive director of the Pittsburgh Public Parking Authority. Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University found that strategically placing smart loading zones throughout Pittsburgh could boost traffic speed by as much as 4.5% in select areas. The city also reports that average parking duration has dropped by 60 percent. In addition, Pittsburgh recorded a 95% reduction in double parking instances, according to Automotus, a provider of curb management solutions that partnered with the city to implement smart loading zones. 'We can assume the decreases in double parking and dwell time reductions in loading zones lead to safer transportation outcomes, and therefore reductions in crashes,' said Robert Ferrin, mobility and parking senior project manager with Kimley-Horn, an engineering, planning and design consultancy. Sean Qian, a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon who studied Pittsburgh's smart loading zone program, said in an email that results often vary from one smart loading zone program to another. In part, a program's effectiveness depends on how policies are executed and communicated to residents and local businesses, he added. Before city leaders invest in any technology, they need to understand why they need smart loading zones in the first place, Ferrin said. This requires working with business owners and possibly fleet drivers, especially if they'll share telematic information, to determine when and where demand for loading zones is greatest, he said. Program organizers should establish performance metrics, track progress against them and openly communicate outcomes with stakeholders to determine features like time limits or pricing, Quinn said. How revenue generated by the program will be used should also be transparently communicated, he added. Enforcement is also key, Onorato said. Until about a year ago, Pittsburgh's smart loading zone program regulations required workers to physically place notices of parking violations on each car's windshield. Given the volume of violations and the generally short periods of time in which they occurred, it was difficult for them to reach many cars, Onorato said. Onorato and his team worked with state and city officials for several years to shift to automated enforcement. Now, cameras capture vehicles that are parking past their reserved time slots or making other violations. and the agency mails a picture of the vehicle with a fine notice. This is challenging for cities that still require a person to issue a parking ticket at the time of a violation, Ferrin said. Without some type of automated enforcement, it can be impossible to gain comprehensive compliance within smart loading zones, he added. Communication about everything from installing cameras to enforcing new regulations is critical to gaining stakeholders' support. Drivers need to be made aware of proposed changes, such as hours of enforcement and pricing, said Lisa Nisenson, vice president of new mobility and connected communities with engineering and design firm WGI. 'Even if operations occur via mobile apps, signage is vital,' she added. When automated parking enforcement is proposed, some businesses or residents may assume the goal is to generate more parking tickets and revenue rather than safety and efficiency, Ferrin says. The industry needs to do a better job of connecting smart loading zones to the broader objective of safety to facilitate any legislative changes that might be needed, he added.

Bank of America Pounds the Table on 2 NAND Chip Stocks
The AI boom has opened up new opportunities in tech, and investors have not been shy about buying in. But – some due diligence is needed, because not all of the openings in AI-related tech will bring the strongest returns. Easily unpack a company's performance with TipRanks' new KPI Data for smart investment decisions Receive undervalued, market resilient stocks right to your inbox with TipRanks' Smart Value Newsletter One area that does stand out is NAND chips – the non-volatile, high-density memory storage technology that powers everything from smartphones to data centers. These chips are not only essential to solid-state drives but are also increasingly critical to the infrastructure supporting AI and cloud applications. With global demand rising – driven by orders for high-capacity AI servers, expanding cloud services, and the growing footprint of IoT – NAND looks like a compelling investment play. Recognizing this trend, Bank of America is pounding the table on select NAND chip stocks. Its analysts are especially bullish on mid-cap names in the space, seeing them as well-positioned to capture gains as the AI tailwinds grow stronger. With that in mind, we turned to the TipRanks database to check the broader Wall Street sentiment on two of BofA's top picks. Let's take a closer look. Silicon Motion (SIMO) Silicon Motion, the first stock that we'll look at here, is one of the chip industry's smaller players, with a market cap of $2.36 billion and $803 million in total revenue last year. The American-Taiwanese company focuses on designing and producing NAND chips for SSD controllers, and it leads the market in SSDs for servers, PCs, and other client devices. Silicon Motion also supplies the customized high-performance SSD solutions required by hyperscale data center and industrial customers, and its enterprise customers include a wide range of OEMs, NAND flash vendors, and storage device module providers. This past May, Silicon Motion highlighted some of its latest SSD controllers at the COMPUTEX 2025 expo in Taipei. The controllers were the SM2504XT and the SM2324; the first is an ultra-low-power PCIe Gen5 DRAM-less unit that offers industry-leading efficiency, and the second is the world's first true single-chip portable SSD controller capable of supporting USB4. In addition, earlier in May, Silicon Motion secured a partnership with Nvidia for its MonTitan SSD. This is a strategic move that puts Silicon Motion's MonTitan SSD line in the pipeline for Nvidia's AI products. Silicon Motion is aiming for a $1 billion revenue run-rate by the end of this year. Silicon Motion is also looking at a potential resolution of a legal matter later this year. The company was the target of a merger attempt by MaxLinear several years ago, a deal that was abandoned in 2023. The case is headed for arbitration in Singapore, and Silicon Motion may be awarded up to $160 million in payments from MaxLinear. In its 1Q25 results, Silicon Motion reported total revenues of $166.5 million, for a 12% decline year-over-year. The company's earnings per American Depository Share came in at 60 cents by non-GAAP measures, down 27 cents per share from the same period in 2024. Despite the year-over-year decline in revenue and earnings, Bank of America's Simon Woo is still standing squarely in the bull camp. Woo cites several reasons to support his optimistic stance: '(1) gradually increasing enterprise solution sales (leveraging well its partnerships with major NAND chipmakers and US Big Tech companies, including NVIDIA); (2) resilient top-line growth with high GM (low impact of US tariff given strong bargaining power and well-managed foundry sourcing from TSMC); and (3) potential event (US$160mn+ deal break-up fees to be paid by MaxLinear if SIMO wins its Singapore arbitration case in late-4Q25). We believe MaxLinear's payments will be used mostly for special cash dividends, but this event is not yet confirmed. Similar to memory chipmakers, SIMO could also benefit from strongly growing sovereign AI investments by selling eSSD controllers / boot-drivers (known as MonTitan series).' These comments back up Woo's Buy rating on SIMO, and his $90 price target suggests a one-year upside potential of 24.5%. (To watch Woo's track record, click here) Overall, Silicon Motion gets a Strong Buy from the Street's consensus, based on 7 unanimous Buys. The shares are priced at $72.32, and their $82.17 average price target implies a gain of 13.5% in the next 12 months. (See SIMO stock forecast) SanDisk Corporation (SNDK) Next on our list is SanDisk, a company known for its portable memory products. The company's roots go back to 1988, and it was an early developer of flash storage technology. In 2016, SanDisk was acquired by Western Digital, and in February of this year, the company was spun off from Western and became an independent entity again, with shares trading on the NASDAQ exchange. Most consumers probably know SanDisk from its line of USB thumb drives. These products are somewhat ubiquitous and have proven to be useful for customers and successful and profitable for the company. SanDisk makes and distributes thumb drives for USB-A, USB-C, and micro USB in a wide range of capacities, from small 16-gig units to larger 128-gig devices. In addition, the company manufactures memory cards: SD and microSD, CF, CFast, and CFexpress. The company's USB drives and memory cards have found uses with gaming, digital cameras, drones, and in smartphones and tablets. Finally, SanDisk's flagship product line is its array of SSDs, designed for internal, external, or portable uses, as well as to enterprise performance standards. Supporting all of this, SanDisk also markets a wide variety of accessories and peripherals, including card readers, docks, phone adapters, and wire chargers. Some basic numbers will show the scale of SanDisk's operations. The company has more than 10,000 employees working in over 30 countries around the world and protects its intellectual properties with more than 11,000 patents in various global jurisdictions. The company has a $6.8 billion market cap, and its revenues are trending upward. In its fiscal year 2024, which ended on June 28 last year, SanDisk generated $6.66 billion at the top line; for the 12 months ending on March 28 of this year, the company's revenue was up to $7.21 billion. In its last quarterly report, for fiscal 3Q25, SanDisk reported $1.7 billion at the top line, beating the forecast by $73.1 million. Looking at earnings, we find that the company had a non-GAAP EPS for the quarter of 30 cents, 9 cents per share ahead of the forecast. This stock caught the attention of BofA's Wamsi Mohan, who kicks off his coverage with a bullish stance. The 5-star analyst writes, 'Given the near-term supply-demand balance (1Q saw supply curtailment), the pricing environment for NAND is increasingly positive over the next few quarters. Although the industry remains relatively fragmented (6+ players), we view the longer-term outlook favorable with some potential for consolidation over time. With aspirations to drive better pricing in a capex heavy, historically low returns industry, Sandisk plans to pave a path for more disciplined pricing. Longer term, if pricing trends improve structurally for the industry, there could be much higher valuation re-rating potential but we are wary of normalization of such trends especially given pricing competition in China… We see upside to Sandisk operating margin driven by better mix, demand growth and cost control, with long-term target being 20%.' Mohan puts a Buy rating on the shares, complementing that with a $61 price target that points toward a 29% upside on the one-year horizon. (To watch Mohan's track record, click here) The 7 recent analyst reviews on SNDK shares split to 3 Buys and 4 Holds for a Moderate Buy consensus rating. The stock is currently trading for $47.34, and its $62 average price target implies an upside of 31% for the year ahead.
