关于客户
Tweed Shire is located in the far north of the New South Wales coast, just shy of the Queensland border. Covering more than one thousand square kilometers, it’s an area of outstanding natural beauty and an appealing sub-tropical climate. The outdoor life holds sway, tourism and hospitality are two of the region’s biggest employers, and it has one of the fastest-growing populations in New South Wales. The local council has been proactive in addressing the needs of its community, which includes a constant stream of visitors and new arrivals. The council has worked hard to create a portfolio of innovative e-services to provide information about local services and events, catering to both tourists and new householders.
挑战
One effect of the region’s constant stream of visitors and new arrivals is that information about local services and events is in high demand. Tourists want to know whether beaches are open and safe. New householders want information about development approvals, garbage collections, and library hours. To meet this need, over the past two years the local council has worked hard to create a portfolio of innovative e-services. Among the first areas it addressed were the Council’s property information and planning, development, and building processes. In one project, a tracking service was added to the Council website enabling applicants to monitor development approval progress online. In another, the Council integrated its external GIS, document management, and planning systems so that landowners can view online all documentation related to their applications or search for information such as land codes that may affect their property.
解决方案
Having established a portfolio of e-services, the Council next began to consider how it could bring mobility to some of its most frequently accessed information. Development data was high on the list along with information typically sought by people on the move such as surf conditions, sports ground closures, and opening hours and contact details for council facilities. The Council engaged OneBlink, an Australian company specializing in mobile technologies, to develop and host blinkAnswers, a service offering web-based information about the council, displayed on smartphones and free to the community. Additionally, Blink created a BounceBack facility for users with traditional mobile devices, allowing them to text dedicated keywords to receive return SMS’ on local surf conditions, road closures, and more. The solution was thoroughly tested by Blink and trialed by Council staff before being marketed to the broader community. The Council demonstrated blinkAnswers at various community events, ensuring that thousands of community members heard about the new service. The Council is now investing in signs at sports fields and prominent community venues and engaging with mobile phone resellers to promote the solution.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Case Study
Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
Case Study
China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
Case Study
Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
