Current Situation
Cities have multiple platforms for various functions, but little that offers a citywide view into operations, or one that brings together data from disparate sources, especially from sensors and other devices, for analysis and subsequent recommendations for actions across multiple departments.
Goals and Objectives
A Smart City platform seeks to optimize operations, improve urban life, and increase citizen engagement through secure real-time data intelligence, intra-agency collaboration, and new service offers.
Technology Deployed
Sensors, edge devices, data analytics and visualization software, networks, cloud computing, collaboration tools, and business process rules
Use Case Summary
A Smart City platform interconnects the physical and digital world across one or more domains, connecting new and legacy applications, and edge data collection devices (sensors, video cameras) that exist on city assets providing a holistic view of the city’s infrastructure for improved management and control.
