挑战
In May 2010, Logan City Council's Information Services (IS) team and its City Standards branch began working together to solve a common problem: how to provide a mobile data collection capability so that Council inspectors could spend more productive time in the field rather than being back in the office attending to paperwork. Previous attempts had failed due to poor technology performance, cumbersome laptops, poor battery life, and lack of reliable disconnected-mode operation. This time, IS was determined to try something different by reviewing and documenting the business processes involved in inspections before approaching vendors with two key requirements: the solution must work with any mobile device, anywhere, any time, and it must make it easier to conduct business with and within the Council.
关于客户
Logan City Council is home to more than 280,000 people from over 185 different cultures. It is a youthful, vibrant community where around 50% of the residents are aged 30 or younger. The residential areas range from older, leafy suburbs to urban housing developments, new residential estates to established acreages. Ideally situated between Brisbane, Ipswich, and the Gold Coast, Logan provides easy access to some of South East Queensland’s premier business and recreational destinations. The city boasts a lively restaurant and café scene and offers employment opportunities in the region’s thriving light industries.
解决方案
After assessing responses and viewing demonstrations, Logan City Council selected a Blink Mobility Platform solution from OneBlink, along with implementation and support services from mobility specialist, RYPE. The securely hosted OneBlink service enables the rapid creation and deployment of customized electronic forms that can be completed and uploaded to Council systems using various commonly available tablets, phones, and laptops. The solution also provides the capability to build and deploy many different applications from one management platform, allowing the Council to extend the service across the entire organization. To avoid past problems, RYPE and Logan City Council IS staff spent considerable time determining the scope and exact requirements of the solution. They spoke to inspectors and other users to identify who needed what information, when, and in what format. A simple business process was designed to take the critical inspection data recorded in BlinkForms using mobile devices and upload it onto the appropriate Council system, ensuring a complete record of the inspection would be saved in the enterprise document management system.

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.
