Citizen and Road Safety Applications in a Smart City for monitoring and geolocation with prototyping at the National Engineering University

Project: Research

Project Details

Description

Citizen and road safety is one of the fundamental pillars of the city of the future or smart city. But like many other issues involved in Smart Cities, there is a lack of regulation and especially smart applications that benefit the well-being of the people who inhabit said city. For this, several aspects will be taken into account: Monitoring of people in safe environments, assuming a great direct impact on the development of tourist areas since tourists are guided and monitored at all times by safe routes. In addition, it would make it possible to turn on and off the public lighting knowing that there are or not people in the vicinity. Re-routing of people with disabilities and direct interaction with the smart application, that is, people with disabilities in terms of mobility will be guided by those safe and accessible routes. In the event that there is an accessibility problem, the person can interact with the application, report an incident and a new safe and accessible route would be recalculated. Prevention on issues of gender violence. Two people would be monitored and security criteria established for the generation of pertinent alarms. Detection of mass movement patterns, allowing the authorities to reinforce certain areas from the point of citizen security when there are large numbers of people in said area. Privacy of monitored persons
