Haverhill, MA purchases Canavisia smart benches for a pilot of connected furniture at bus stops
Haverhill and the Merrimack Valley Regional Transit Authority (MVRTA) are using a $50,000 state grant for the project. Canavisia benches in front of the city's housing authority buildings provide free Wi-Fi to commuters. Each bench has a solar panel in its backrest that powers device chargers and climate sensors. Local officials will evaluate pilot data in determining if features like digital video boards and electric bike charging should be included in future purchases.
