This document outlines 6 steps for creating a smart and safe city: 1. Using a network of cameras and video analytics to monitor incidents and activities. 2. Connecting sensors and systems to improve operations and safety through sharing information. 3. Empowering field personnel through advanced communication with the control room. 4. Creating multi-stakeholder collaboration between departments. 5. Documenting, automating, and training standard operating procedures. 6. Establishing a centralized control room to handle incidents.

Being able to see
A network of cameras located at
critical locations enabling to get
immediate visual confirmation
on incidents, risks and progress
of activities - seeing in knowing.
Harnessing automatic detection
and machine vision video
analytics serves as a tool to handle
the overload of visual information
coming from hundreds of cameras
Connecting everything
(or many things)
Making systems and sensors communicate with each other
and with the control room, improving operations and safety
through smart sensing of the “real world”. Anything from how
full are the trash cans through parking lots, license plate
recognition and gunshot detection systems, all information
is collected, correlated and made actionable
Mobile empowered
field personnel
Field and control room become
connected through advanced
communication, making it clear what
is happening at any time and any
location. First hand reporting from
the field, simple resource availability
monitoring by the control room and
streamlining sharing of tasks gets
effective results
Sharing
Creating a multi stakeholder enabled operation,
involving all relevant departments – from crime and
terror response to garbage disposal and sewage
handling – making more with what you have
Clear procedures,
documented,
automated and
trained upon
Documented and proven SOPs
(standard operating procedures)
are key to a consistent and
proper response to incidents
and events, using technology to
make procedures automated and
communication and information
sharing effective takes operation
to the next level
