Achieved digital transformation of urban ecosystem

Engineered a comprehensive smart city solution enabling real-time data management, alerts, and information processing for city administration.

Project Overview and Objective:In line with India’s Smart City Mission, this city was selected as an Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) city to overhaul its infrastructure and improve the quality of life for its citizens. The objective focused on digitizing the urban ecosystem by leveraging advanced technologies, with a focus on interoperability and centralized management of data systems.

Challenges: Integration of multiple smart technologies, data management and scalability, legacy systems and infrastructure limitations were some of the challenges faced.

Our Solution: A smart ICT plan was visualized for the city, with embedded systems, smart devices and sensors, offering real-time data management, alerts, and information processing for the city administration. Best practices were deployed, thereby putting the city at par with the some of the best smart cities internationally. The following solutions were deployed:

        • An Integrated Command and Control (ICCC) Contact and emergency response centre for citizens, built on state-of-the-art Orchestra technology, providing an unparalleled security model enforced at the data level with full traceability of runtime changes.
        • In-premises centralised data centre and disaster recovery in remote geographical locations
        • Smart surveillance with face recognition software and sensors
        • Smart waste management in terms of waste collection tracking, bin sensors etc.
        • Smart environment by monitoring air quality parameters for further analysis
        • Variable Message display boards
        • Automatic Number PlateRecognitionSystem (ANPR)and E-challan
        • Dedicated Fiber network across City

Key Outcomes and Benefits: Improved public safety, traffic flow optimization and holistic urban management. Some of the key outcomes are as below, 

        • Fast Resolution of Crime Cases: The AI system implemented accelerated the investigative process, allowing authorities to resolve crimes more efficiently.
        • Rapid Response to Critical Events: By monitoring events like crowd gatherings or accidents, the system enabled swift deployment of medical services and law enforcement when needed.
        • Ongoing Monitoring of Public Events: Continuous surveillance during rallies or large gatherings ensured public safety and helped manage any potential issues.
        • Quick Identification of Suspicious Individuals: Facial recognition technology allowed for prompt identification and tracking of suspicious persons, enhancing overall security.
        • ANPR (Automated Number Plate Recognition) system enhanced public safety and facilitated proactive law enforcement.
        • Theft and Suspicious Activity Monitoring: The system can track vehicle movements and generate alerts for theft, suspicious behaviour, or blacklisted vehicles, enabling authorities to take immediate action.
        • Traffic Violation Enforcement: Vehicles frequently driving the wrong way or not adhering to lane regulations could be penalized, promoting safer driving habits and compliance with traffic laws.
        • VLA IOT based environment sensors and VMD display board enhanced community awareness and safety by providing vital environmental information.
        • Constant Weather Monitoring: Smart environmental sensors provided real-time data on weather conditions, allowing for accurate and timely weather forecasts
        • Public Alerts on Air Quality: Information on critical parameters like dust levels and Air Quality Index (AQI) is displayed on Variable Message Display (VMD) boards, advising the public on health precautions during adverse conditions.
