3. The northern Spanish city of Santander has
become the testing ground for "smart cities"
around the world. Smart Santander is a smart city experiment aimed at improving the quality
of life, reducing energy consumption and engaging its citizens in civic duties. The city
implemented wireless sensor networks and embedded 10,000 sensors on its streets and
municipal vehicles to monitor garbage collections, crime air quality and manage street
lighting for better energy efficiency. The Santander Smart City platform allows to integrate
all the information of the different municipal services and thousands of sensors deployed by
the city. The latter devices collect multiple data: from air quality, noise or temperature to
which parking lots are free or occupied on different streets or when it is necessary to water
a particular park or garden. For example, buses have sensors at the top that allow to know
the level of pollution in different areas of the city. They have also been installed on street
lamps and walls inside small white boxes in order to measure noise, temperature or
brightness. Multiple devices installed on the ground monitor how many cars are parked in
certain streets while different information panels indicate the free places in a given area to
park the car. Even paper containers and containers have volumetric measurement sensors
that indicate how full they are. This information is especially valuable when planning
collection routes, which may vary according to needs. As garbage trucks are also intelligent,
it is possible to monitor their travel and activity.
