TOURISM INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM FOR SMART DESTINATIONS
Next-generation Smart City LED lighting
With good LED lighting and illumination as the starting point, SpaNET is introducing a new generation of LED lighting. These have been developed based on their vision for the future, so lighting will become even more of a smart centre. Thanks to modular construction and open architecture, their Smart City LED lights are prepared for future developments.
Smart Platform
By combining lighting and connectivity, the public lighting smart network can be controlled, monitored and managed remotely. The smart platform will automatically configure the street lighting network, after which each LED light will be immediately visible in the application (or via their back-office platform). Its brokerage layer can be fully linked with all other TALQ version 2.2.0 compliant CMS systems without the need for additional development. Existing or new LED lights from other manufacturers can be integrated into the network and the intelligent platform by using a NEMA wireless module or the MIRA lighting control module (LCM).
Smart Sensors
Its Smart City LED lights are modular (plug and play) and contain one of a series of sensors that allow for example the position, movement, ambient light and energy consumption to be measured. But it is possible to do much more. For example, Smart City LED lights can be enhanced with a humidity meter, motion sensor, sound sensor, particle sensor, Wi-Fi, small cells for 5G technology and much more. They don't involve lock-ins and are made according to the requirements of each specific location in a city or municipality, adapting to visitors' specific needs during their stays, and to needs relating to quality of life for local residents.

PARK4DIS PEOPLE
Park4Dis aims to solve a problem that affects more than 1 million people with reduced mobility and more than 15 million in Europe, from various aspects and with a 360º vision. Currently, it provides information about more than 300 cities in 10 countries, totalling more than 45,000 spaces for people with reduced mobility.
One of its main goals is to help reduced mobility users with Park4Dis People, a free, interurban and cross-sectional platform that shows an accessible summary of the location of reduced mobility spaces and – a unique solution in Europe – local regulations on other permitted parking. Reduced mobility users do not have to worry about downloading, if it exists, an app for each destination; and councils (or tourist destinations) that join the platform become a "Park4Dis city", forming part of the paradigm shift from Smart City to Smart Human City promoted from the Park4Dis project.
Park4Dis People
Shows the location of the reduced mobility spaces closest to the destination.
Allows guidance to the selected destination.
Shows the regulations on other parking spaces allowed in the city (e.g. loading/unloading, blue zone, resident zone, etc.), specifying the maximum parking time and/or the fee that should be paid.
Shows information on free/occupied reduced mobility spaces.
Allows reporting of incidents affecting a reduced mobility space, in the form of a phone call to the local police or a text (e.g. offenders parked in reduced mobility spaces without a card, reduced mobility spaces not accessible, signs in poor condition, etc.).
Add/validate collaboratively reduced mobility spaces that are new or not available in the app, with photographs of the signage.
Reserve a reduced mobility space for a certain time.

INVENTRIP
Global digital tourism platform (web, app and API) developed by Sismotur to manage, disseminate and distribute tourism data, introduced in 75 destinations in Spain and Portugal, that collaborate to share best practices and the joint development of its development.
To have access to quality data, it is necessary to add the work of each destination manager. To do this, Inventrip has a technology that allows hierarchical data networks to be established with different levels of integration (thematic, administrative, etc.). Inventrip already has 40,000 resources for its level of integration on the Iberian Peninsula.
Inventrip allows you to manage the main IoT digital connectors (Dynamic QR, NFC chips, Beacon and Geofence) in the cloud to send digital information to tourists’ mobiles at all times and based on their location, particularly through smart signage.
Inventrip can share the entire destination, a thematic route or a resource, all through URLs. It also features booking engines to sell tourist activities and URLs with high-resolution digital tourism viewpoints and virtual tours. The Inventrip service is also integrated into touch terminals and allows the management, visualisation and downloading of trail KMLs.
To promote the interoperability of platforms and the distribution of tourism data, a common language is needed. In tourism this translates into compliance with the UNE 178503 Semantic Standard of Smart Tourism Destinations. Sismotur participated in its drafting and the preparation of the Best Practice manual, as well as in its updating for the management of Covid-19.
The Inventrip platform now allows the management of data according to the aforementioned standard and its efficient distribution with the API Inventrip.

TOWN APP
Application so that citizens can communicate with the council, learn about all the services and procedures, submit requests and access all municipal information.
Residents can find out the news or events; have the entire catalogue of services offered by the council with one click; or subscribe to notifications. You will be able to answer questions such as, What is the nearest open pharmacy? or Where can I find a bin for used oil?
This solution establishes a two-way communication channel between residents and the council. Citizens can communicate digitally and remotely and avoid unnecessary trips and calls. They receive guided assistance for requests and procedures that must be carried out. It is a very simple process that residents can carry out in a few simple clicks. Also, they can access all the requests they have made and find their status, and receive push notifications.
This assistant is implemented with access to a complete back office as a heldesk, from where you can manage and automate all interactions with citizens. For example, requests can be assigned automatically, or predefined responses can be programmed according to the type of request for a more agile response.
You can offer a more efficient resident service, by simplifying the processes. To make it more agile and eliminate many unnecessary tasks: saving time and money.
The solution focuses a lot on the user experience and adapting to the needs of the municipality and its citizens. And it is one more piece that integrates with the rest of your solutions, leveraging existing APIs or developing integrations.
In summary, the goal is to have an effective and remote citizen service, to bring municipal services to citizens through technology.

MASSIVE PROXIMITY MARKETING WITHOUT AN APP: SEEKETING PHYGITAL INTERACTION AND GAMIFICATION
Proximity Phygital Marking allows a text message/WhatsApp/email channel to be opened, sending proximity messages to millions of residents and tourists who register without the need to install an app, although they can also integrate it with the use of push messages in apps, websites or screens in the municipality. Messages are sent when the user is in each area of interest (each street, beach, monument, building, etc.), and it increases efficiency and totally reduces the disruption.
It also automatically analyses how the communication campaigns carried out by the destination impact, and provides the tools to communicate automatically and in each area, with each user according to their profile, tastes, habits or interests, knowing the areas where they move or where they are now, sending any type of information, automatic alerts, communication, surveys or offers that best suit the client's needs.
This is why this system generates results that a standard CRM with WhatsApp chatbot or sending SMS/Email/push app cannot perform.
This system is also compatible with the app push notifications (mobile application). Users are not required to enable Bluetooth to use iBeacon, and it reaches almost all users since it is compatible with and without app.
The system is compatible with other Seeketing Phygital solutions integrating physical and online person-to-person channels, which enables automatic messaging according to the type of user (locals, tourists, same-day visitors and many other profiles) according to the areas they have visited, the time, the frequency of visits to each area or where they come from, their nationality, gender, age, even depending on what the user has consulted on the client's websites and apps, or on the response generated after receiving each message.

VISUALFY PLACES
System that, through devices installed in the building, is capable of recognising relevant sounds from the environment (e.g. a fire alarm, a beep for a health service or a citizen service office, warnings of closing doors or services or personalised notifications) and translate them into visual and sensory alerts on any device, both common to the space (smart lighting that is installed in the building) and personal (mobile, smartwatch or smartband). For building workers, they usually recommend smart bracelets so that the notification arrives directly regardless of where they are in the building.
The importance of privacy in AI should be stressed. The system works locally, to fully guarantee that no audio can leave the building, nor be heard by anyone. Sounds rather than voices are recognised. Once the sound has been recognised, the system itself is responsible for eliminating it so that no one has access to it. It has the approval of the Spanish data protection agency (AEGPD) and is included in the GVA's Guide to success stories of ethical use of AI in the tourism sector.
By installing magnetic loops, they improve communication with hearing aid and cochlear implant users; and through a voice recognition functionality in the app, they eliminate communication barriers created by the use of masks that make it impossible to read lips. Any user will be able to read in real time the information that the health works want to convey. The smartphone's microphone captures the staff's voice and transcribes it on the user's screen. In compliance with the GDPR and to protect all building workers, users cannot save these conversations. It is available in Spanish, Catalan, Basque, Galician and English and will soon be available in any language.
