Smart cities - WINGS ICT Solutions

WINGS developed the STARLIT platform | Smart city extension (cloud baSed ioT smARt LIving platform) with the following goals in mind:

To support smart cities authorities with visualization of real time and historical data;
To offer smart cities authorities derived knowledge and valuable insights/predictions that will allow their smarter and more efficient management (e.g., in terms of traffic management, emergency management, resources management, etc.);
To provide the means that will allow citizens awareness on city ongoing and/or upcoming issues (e.g., traffic adjustments, future city status, etc.) and events; and
To support citizens (esp. elderly/impaired persons) in their outdoor activities.

Regarding use cases, the initial focus has been placed on the following:

To identify risks and hazards, based on air quality in combination with person’s health status;

To provide notifications when an individual moves towards/enters into a high risk zone/hazardous area; and
To provide personalised navigation instructions and public transportation help considering user preferences and health/well-being status.

City sensors (e.g., pollution, pollen, traffic), weather APIs and environmental measurements, such as humidity, temperature
Smart watches/wearable devices for deriving user data
Communications technologies, such as HTTP, REST and MQTT
Data management algorithms, focused on improving the quality of the data
Data analysis and prediction algorithms
