Modern cities are becoming ever more intricate and chaotic, growing in size faster than the rate at which city management systems can be developed to effectively manage them.
We find ever more frequently that living in a city is like a weight, trying the hardest to survive the traffic, the chaos in public offices, the lack of parking and the running costs of homes and offices.
Once again, we are witnessing a dramatic transformation of the very concept of living and managing the city: thanks to ever smaller and economic sensors, you can in fact increase the number of eyes, noses and ears in living and working spaces.
The amount of data that we can find is rather large: road and highway conditions, energy consumption, building state, incident and event statistics, flow of people in certain spaces.
Needless to say, without a brain all of this data simply represents wasted storage space.
DATABOOM can become a valuable ally in the fight against waste and in the overall improvement of city life.
By cross-checking, monitoring and analysing data, it is in fact possible to study the systems' behaviour and city processes, pinpointing problems and gaps and working in real if not predictive time.
In this way, it will be possible in the cities of a not so distant future, to eliminate waste in energy management, optimise transport and provide assistance to people more rapidly, thus transforming the city from gray building blocks to ecosystems able to continuously improve, look after and manage themselves.
Having more and more eyes focused on each corner in the city and able to see and transmit information is certainly not enough to make a city smarter. What is really necessary is a system able to build upon this large amount of statistics and data. DATABOOM allows you to do all this and much more, given that one of the things that does best is to cross-check and display data. It can however do much more. Unfortunately, it cannot prepare your coffee.
The transport and mobility problem is always crucial for any city, no matter where it is. Ensuring that traffic follows a normal course, minimizing the probability of encountering traffic jams and hold ups is the dream of every transport engineer. Once again, DATABOOM is here to help: thanks to its advanced viewing and analysis methods it allows anyone to track streets, highways, crossings and intersections in real time. We have come a long way, huh?
Unfortunately, when it comes to large consumption we tend to underestimate the waste problem, which in fact has a very important impact. By carefully monitoring all distribution and manufacturing processes, it is possible to eliminate much of the waste resulting from the careless handling of raw materials. DATABOOM and IoT generally provide a valuable assistance in the fight against waste. But what if everyone turned the tap off when brushing their teeth.....
The building blocks of a city are the buildings themselves and in a smart city even the buildings should be smart. Thinking of new management systems to manage the use of services offered to people within the home and work areas is a task in which IoT can help a lot. DATABOOM is able to provide a complete system for managing building automation, be it for climate control, input/output control, surveillance, connectivity and even entertainment. DATABOOM is also fun. We are obviously joking.
