Project description
New technology helps keep close watch over cities
Urban video surveillance is a tool used by law enforcement and city officials to increase the sense of security in public spaces. The use of video surveillance has evolved significantly since banks and shops started to use a CCTV system back in the 1970s. Pressing ahead with innovation, the EU-funded UDE project will introduce real-time diagnosis of public spaces by taking data captured from existing live urban cameras. In addition to increasing security (detecting urban terrorism and suspicious behaviour), this innovation is also tailored for smart cities to boost profitability of stores and real estate assets, as well as retail shops (helping them to measure the impact of window displays and ads or digital screens).
Objective
Urban Data Eye brings to the market UDE, a paramount innovation for real time diagnosis of public spaces taking data captured from existing live urban cameras. UDE solves the main needs for three important market segments: 1) Smart Cities, where there exist a loss of profitability in many shops and real estate assets caused by saturation of public spaces, lack of use or insecurity; 2) Commerce, lacking precise urban data to help in the location of stores or measure the impact of window displays, urban ads or digital screens; 3) Security (detect urban terrorism, suspicious behaviour and insecure spots). To cope with these needs we have developed three product lines: Urban Public Eye (up to 30% effectiveness in urban decision-making and 1.5% reduction in GHG), Urban Business Eye (+50% gain in marketing campaigns) and Urban Security Eye (predict over-crowding and dangerous situations). Success cases developed at the Callao Square in Madrid and Market Square in Pittsburgh prove the current TRL6 stage. During the Feasibility Study we will perform a technical, commercial and financial feasibility assessment, so as to define the requirements to enhance the predictive models and the cloud analytics functionality, and make a platform scalability study for each market segment. Regulation, distribution channels and IPR issues will also be addressed, along with detailed economic projections and analysis of funding requirements. Regarding benefits to society, accurate urban diagnosis will be fundamental in achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. To cope with this challenge, UDE addresses Goal 11, by making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe and sustainable.
