Smart Burgas is the digital brain of the city. It collects data from the various smart devices and systems operating in the urban environment. Smart Burgas is an integrated monitoring platform which helps the city by contributing to transparency, facilitates control, has a positive impact on the organization of services and significantly improves the quality of life of the citizens. With the help of the innovative urban platform residents and guests of the city can now easily observe what is happening around them.
In the last 8 years the Municipality of Burgas has been actively implementing an approach for smart technological growth within the framework of the city development policies. Many projects have been implemented to mark the efforts of Burgas to pioneer the implementation of integrated smart systems for managing urban aspects such as mobility (bicycle, pedestrian, traffic control, parking control, public transport), waste management (separate collection and recycling), environmental monitoring (air pollution, water level) and the risks of adverse events, video-monitoring in urban areas, public sites and transport sites, in favor of improving the quality of life of citizens and their active involvement in planning for the future of the city. Based on projects already completed, the challenge now is to upgrade individual systems and strive to multiply their benefits by integrating data into a common, intelligent urban platform, in which and through which city data can be shared, analyzed and visualized.
The city of Burgas already operates a large number of sensors and smart devices communicating within a well-developed infrastructure. Gaining experience in using existing systems and realizing the need to increase our efforts to spend more intelligently on city resources by using high-tech systems and innovative practices, we did the next step – integration of different urban systems into a single urban platform, through which experts and citizens will be able to share and use integrated city data.
The city platform allows you to watch real-time video streaming from city video recording cameras. The dashboard synthesizes data on road conditions, city traffic, streets being repaired, parking spaces, sports spots, beach weather, air pollution and water levels. You can get informed about how and where you can dispose of municipal waste for recycling. Investors are offered information about the vacant terrains in the industrial zones, as well as statistics about the companies operating in Burgas with location and number of employees. In the platform you will find information about Burgas mobile device applications and the city cultural and historical landmarks. In the surveys and polls module residents can give their heavy assessment for urban planning and development.
The platform offers a powerful tool supporting the implementation of smart city development. It provides new opportunities for collecting, processing and analyzing data on various aspects of urban development. Data can be used, depending on access levels, by:
