挑战
The City of Brampton, Canada's second-fastest-growing city, faced a challenge in managing its assets due to rapid population growth. The Public Service Accounting Board (PSAB) issued a Tangible Capital Assets (TCA) request for accurate reporting of all City assets, which was difficult due to the information being maintained in more than a dozen different asset management applications. The city's IT department had to support the information management needs of multiple projects among many departments, leading to a disparate set of applications and data sources, making it difficult to easily exchange information. They had no overarching integration strategy, no cohesive master data management (MDM) solution, and no trained staff available to remedy the situation.
关于客户
The City of Brampton is the third-largest city in the Greater Toronto Area and Canada’s second-fastest-growing city, with the population leaping from 150,000 to 600,000 over two decades. It is home to more than 8,000 businesses concentrated in the manufacturing, retail, and wholesale sectors. The city's IT department supports the information management needs of multiple projects among many departments, including fire and emergency services, law enforcement, transit, parks and recreation, economic development, courts, and animal services.
解决方案
The City of Brampton worked with Information Builders to establish a flexible software integration environment that combines data from many different applications to create a consistent and accurate source of master data. The new IT environment is based on iWay Service Manager, iWay Master Data Center (MDC), and iWay Data Quality Center (DQC). The iWay environment enables a single view into all the IT activities surrounding a property while creating a consistent set of “golden” records. Each system captures its own information, and then iWay Service Manager moves it to a centralized repository, created with iWay Master Data Center. Unified and validated master data is instantly available to a wide range of internal systems. A copy of all master data records is published to an MDM hub, where data is cleansed and reconciled. iWay monitors the influx of data and delivers it into a central master repository while correcting data quality issues among the City’s information systems.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
