AIR QUALITY IN THE CITY
Equipment for measuring air quality in certified tourist destinations for Indicative Measurementsaccording to European Air Quality Directive 2008/50/EC, and maps of dispersion of air quality.
The equipment measures very precisely the main gases and particles that affect the air quality of cities: NO2, O3, SO2, CO, PM2.5, PM10, temperature, pressure and relative humidity. The information is sent to a management platform, where the levels can be consulted. The data can also be integrated into city platforms or tourism CRM and can be displayed on information panels for tourists.
With the data from the air quality meters, the topography of the city, the weather data and the behaviour of traffic, a high- resolution, real-time dispersion map of air quality is created, with a precision of 5 metres and 1 hour. With this model it is possible to know how each pollutant is dispersed throughout the city, how it will change in future or identify how much traffic influences total pollution.
Applications or use cases:
Knowledge of outdoor air quality in real time for:
Tourist use
Sports
Citizen use
Map with dispersion of each pollutant throughout the city.
Air quality forecast for several days ahead.
Influence of traffic on total air quality.

WANDO EXPERIENCES
Wando is a tourism intermediation platform for destination leisure experiences which aims to ensure that all the information generated on the platform, combined with that which can be obtained from other public and private sources, can add value to this knowledge through data analysis processes. It is also a tourist-oriented marketing platform, promoting multimedia communication.
The digital commercialisation of experiences means that destinations have access to extremely valuable information, covering topics such as consumer patterns, the geolocations of these experiences, and when experiences are, or will be, taking place. This information can be viewed through business dashboards, used with artificial intelligence to create virtual assistants or systems that provide recommendations, with machine learning for systems that predict demand based on season or pricing, or with blockchain, applying smart contracts to hiring processes or the charging/payment of commissions. The only way to highlight these technologies is from the perspective of an integrator between supply and demand. It offers marketing, purchase management and enjoyment of experiences through individualised QRs, so that you can identify where the purchases come from.
Wando stands as an intermediation system with a completely technological vision of the marketing process of experiences for:
Destinations/Tourist Boards: channelling promotional actions to complete the tourist's customer journey (discovery- buy-enjoy).
Hotels: integrating the platform on its website to market experiences in the hotel or the nearby area.
Experience companies: a platform to centralise the commercial offer of experiences.

COUNTING PEOPLE ON BUSES USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Mobility is one of the main concerns of cities striving to become smarter and more sustainable. Traffic congestion, pollution and providing a safe environment from COVID-19 raise serious concerns, especially in large cities.
The solution offers:
Traveller safety: Real-time search for weapons among travellers with image capture and immediate warning.
Detection of vehicles, animals or people using the cameras already installed.
Ability to derive insights and value from bus, infrastructure and operations data. It means automatically collecting and transmitting vehicle data, providing the operator with an up- to-date view of the fleet.
Social distancing: This solution faces the challenge of collecting insights from the cameras already available throughout the city using artificial intelligence, for more intelligent management and communication between the local government and citizens.
Compiling insights through cameras is a challenge that requires the generation of algorithms and the training of specialised artificial intelligence models. In one of their success stories, while respecting anonymity, they monitor the number of people inside the buses to inform of the bus capacity at the next stop.
Another use case is to report the detection of groups of people in public places according to legal regulations.
As a result of the implementation, the city will have real-time information and predictions of the proposed indicators.
The information will be visible through the information display system integrated with other data sources and accessible through open data portals.
The ultimate goal of mobility in smart cities is safety and quality of life. These benefits translate into a city with less wasted time and more resources to invest in productive initiatives, both at the municipal and individual citizen levels.

TOURISM GEOPORTAL AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION MANAGEMENT PLATFORM
GvSIG Online, municipal platform for geographic information management. Tourist geoportals and much more.
All the studies show that more than 80% of the information handled by a municipality has a geographical component. The municipal reality is manifested in the territory. Therefore, tools for geographic information management will result in optimised management in any municipality.
gvSIG Online is the ideal solution for territory management, a solution that can be applied to practically all the areas of local government: tourism, town planning, environment, etc.
The platform makes it possible to easily catalogue, locate and share information through web map viewers (called geoportals), both internally (restricted access information) and with citizens. Thanks to its licence to use it has no limitations, so you can generate as many geoportals as you would like. It is implemented in organisations around the world, from city councils to supranational entities.
This solution, technically called Spatial Data Infrastructure (IDE), is also a basic infrastructure for the implementation of a Smart City, and can be integrated with other municipal systems or platforms, such as the file manager.
Also, it facilitates compliance with the European Directive INSPIRE and LISIGE, its transposition into Spanish legislation; both pieces of legislation refer to access to public geographic information.
The solution includes gvSIG Mapps, an app for geopositioned data collection in the field, which works online and offline, fully integrated with the Spatial Data Infrastructure.
