Sao Paulo 30 out (EFE) .- “The debate over intelligent use of integrated technologies with urban mobility to define intelligent cities in the world is also the challenge of Brazilian cities, that to achieve this level need as well as infrastructure and investment, more creativity, change of habit and transport systems facilitators of everyday life, “said Efe, the engineer Raul Colcher.
” Urban mobility is one of the most important vectors, especially in large cities, as the displacement of people and charges is a very serious problem in Brazil, “he said.
According to the senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the world’s largest professional association for the advancement of technology, people take about 1h30 average daily shift, “an assault on quality of life.”
Currently, the average time to shift in nine metropolitan areas in Brazil is 82 minutes, which, converted to hours of work, would represent approximately R $ 300 billion / year, or 7.3% of the GDP, according to the Institute Akatu.
To Colcher an alternative to optimize the functioning of a city, for example, is to integrate information and communication technologies as Big Data, virtual servers, cloud computing to reduce people handling needs in the urban environment.
Thinking about these daily problems, especially involving transport systems, is the entity and Colcher debated for these challenges at Futurecom, which ended on Thursday in Sao Paulo.
According to Colcher, information and communication technologies, integrated applications and systems are ways to improve “security, performance in shifts and reduce investment massive. “
For him, the bike path is a global alternative, but need to have an integrated program to promote the action and the cultural habit of using bicycles on short and medium distances, which can be supported with use applications for rental of means of transport.
“Cities need to become more friendly with accurate information about public transport, for example, in addition to priority be pedestrian,” he said.
According to the engineer, information technology solutions are relevant, but alone do not solve the problem and that in every city there are regional needs that will serve to adapt and create their own solutions.
“A smart city is one that contributes to the well being of citizens and to use technology resources to promote this environment, good urban mobility, sustainability, resources, feel good about living in the city,” he reiterated Efe.
The connectivity and access to online network in urban areas are “essential elements” to provide traffic information, and connect the user with basic control centers for urban management, according Colcher.
Tools that can help in the issue mobility are associated with the phenomenon of the internet of things – when the most common objects can be connected to the internet and being aid of tools on a daily basis -., which represents a transformation of traditional user experiences-citizen
Colcher highlights the use of georeferenced urban traffic real-time visualization to facilitate the person’s decision to go, change path, and become “more efficient planning and infrastructure asset management, services, security . public, real estate and urban planning in general “
The engineer also cited apps like Waze, by which users collaborate and use real-time information on traffic; signaling equipment at bus stops or stations, and / or apps to inform the waiting time until the next vehicle in addition to intelligent systems for the collection of passages.
He adds that there is need of intelligent cities be adapted for people with physical needs to encourage the use of comfortably transport systems.
According to Colcher, the challenge is great, but the IT solutions can also provide opportunities for reduction expenditure of energy and environmental impacts generated by the emission of pollutants and fuel, which helps improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of these “cities of the future.”
