| Summary: | Cities are facing some of the major challenges of our time: global warming, pollution, waste management, energy efficiency. The
territory of the Metropolis of Lyon, France, which brings together 59 municipalities, for a total of 1.3 million inhabitants, has
launched a smart city policy aimed, among other things, at finding solutions for these issues. The data platform set up in 2013 is one
of the cornerstones of this policy. In this context, the Metropolis of Lyon is deploying solutions that will enable, through the
collection of new data, to implement monitoring and action tools in several fields.<br><br>
As part of a European innovation project called "bIoTope", focused on the development of new services based on the Internet of
Things, a multidisciplinary team is implementing a system to mitigate the effects of global warming in the city. Thanks to various
connected objects allowing a true monitoring of the trees, and by using different data sources, an automatic and intelligent irrigation
system is developed. In the field of waste management, several hundred containers in which the inhabitants throw away their used
glass for recycling will soon be equipped with fill rate sensors. The main objective is to have this network of sensors interact easily
with the container collection trucks. Expected results are an optimization of the collection, thus less fuel consumed, less noise, less
traffic jam. The Metropolis of Lyon also participates in the "Smarter Together" project, focused on the development of intelligent
duplicable solutions for cities, in the field of energy. A digital tool for analysing consumption and energy production at the level of a
neighbourhood is currently being developed. This requires both interfaces with multiple partners, the development of a data model
reflecting the reality of the terrain, from the sensors to the buildings, and the implementation of a visualization tool. |
