Next-Generation Smart Solutions For Smart Cities
Next-Generation Smart Solutions For Smart Cities
With over 60% world population expected to live in cities by 2050, cities are digitally transforming to improve the quality of life for its residents. Municipalities and local government bodies are using Internet of Things (IoT) systems and devices to turn their physical workspaces into digital and virtual entities. These digital workplaces can then be controlled and monitored from an IoT integrated platform. Data from these connected devices can be used to create more optimized and predictive operations.
Datamatics’ next-generation integrated solutions for Smart Cities use sensors, connected devices, and embedded systems with wired and wireless (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and 4G/LTE) technologies to provide a more collaborative, flexible, and connected ecosystem. The integrated smart city solutions, such as smart parking, smart ticketing, smart toll collection, smart charging, smart home, etc., enable you to remotely operate devices and access services anytime anywhere. Datamatics’ smart city solutions enable clients to improve quality of lives and their productivity by manifolds. The company enables you to capitalize on IoT solutions as well as achieve an edge by gradually migrating to the Internet of Everything (IoE) paradigm for smart cities.
Get access to an easy-to-use, interoperable fare medium that is cost-effective and secure. Datamatics has expertise spanning various ticketing systems, including magnetic paper tickets, contactless smart tokens, QR code tickets, and NFC tickets. These smart ticketing systems use closed-loop smartcards as well as open-loop EMV bank cards. These systems reduce fraudulent ticketing practices and operational costs. The smart ticketing solutions enable citizens to seamlessly access multi-modal transit.
Collect tolls electronically through an integrated platform consisting of technologies such as RFID tags, RFID readers, geo-location, automatic number plate recognition, and mobile apps. The combination of RFID tag-based vehicle identification with automatic number plate recognition allows the toll operator to introduce open road smart toll collection (decongestion charging) and helps transport authorities reduce congestion at the toll plazas and on the roads.
Use IoT technology in smart parking systems to tell commuters the number of vacant spots that may be available in a parking lot. Use intelligent sensors, connected devices, GPS, smart phones, and other integrated embedded technologies in smart parking to provide commuters with real-time parking data, such as space availability, local parking laws, parking times, etc. Use real-time data to apply dynamic pricing based on space availability and maximize revenues and profits.
Smart charging systems are designed to provide convenience and ease of use to commuters looking for easy payment options in return for using mobility services. With the help of sensors, front-end devices, device terminal management, central systems, and backend systems, Datamatics’ smart charging systems ensure accurate pricing and prevent fraudulent cashing. The system ensures safe and secure payments while charging a smart vehicle or a smart device or engaging a mobility service.
Get easy and secure access, and remotely manage all devices and accessories connected with smart home automation frameworks and platforms. Datamatics has proven expertise in developing iOS mobile apps that are fully compatible with the Apple HomeKit and other home automation frameworks enabling multiple accessories to work in tandem. The apps strictly comply with the respective API guidelines.
A smart city is a city that leverages futuristic technology solutions, such as Internet of Things (IoT), sensors, devices, low power wide area network (LPWAN), wireless, cellular technologies, etc., to empower the city’s infrastructure. A smart city improves the efficiency and convenience of the citizens as well as the service providers through a systematically leveraged IoT experience and highly available connectivity networks. The primary goal of a smart city project is to improve the quality of life of its citizens.
Some important smart city projects are traffic monitoring and decongestion, garbage clearance, city water reservoir monitoring, electricity and gas supply monitoring and management, and air quality and particulate matter measurement.
Smart cities make use of sensors and IoT devices to measure the key parameters of a smart city project, raise alerts on reaching pre-defined thresholds and auto-trigger corrective and preventive actions, raise visual code red alarms through different channels on reaching dangerous levels that can impact the quality of life of the citizens.
Smart parking is one of the many smart city projects that allow commuters to easily navigate to vacant spots in a parking area, in real-time. It also allows the administration to implement dynamic pricing on the basis of a demand & supply model.
Datamatics is a Digital Technologies, Operations, and Experiences company that enables enterprises to go Deep in Digital to boost their productivity, customer experience and competitive advantage.
