Four pillars for the smart city
Zero-emission waste collection vehicles
Development of electric commercial vehicles for urban waste collection, integrated into the IoV ecosystem for optimised fleet management.
Intelligent waste management
IoT sensors and AI algorithms for real-time container monitoring and collection route optimisation, reducing costs and emissions.
Driving style optimisation
Driving behaviour evaluation and recommendation systems to improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions and increase road safety.
Predictive infrastructure maintenance
Computer vision and AI for continuous monitoring of urban infrastructure, with proactive prediction of degradation and anomalies before they become critical problems.
A layered framework for security and scalability
Edge Computing Layer
Local data processing close to the source, for minimal latency and real-time response.
Security & Privacy Layer
Blockchain and encryption to ensure integrity and confidentiality of IoV ecosystem data.
Cloud Layer
Aggregation, storage and advanced data analysis at urban scale.
Application Layer
Smart city services accessible by operators, citizens and administrations.
