Safe Cities & Urban communities

Empowering smart, secure and resilient urban territories

Protecting cities is harder than ever due to the complexity of urban design, digital transformation, new threats and citizens’ new expectations. We work towards building Smart Safe Cities Operations Centres, coordinating with city authorities, law enforcement, first responder agencies and various services operators, to ensure public safety and secure critical city infrastructure and assets. These range from telecoms to public utilities, transport networks, government facilities and much more.

The current threat landscape in cities is diverse; civil unrest, natural disasters, major traffic/utility- based accidents and terrorist activities are all present dangers. These must be countered alongside efforts to anticipate emerging threats including state-sponsored sabotage and cybercrime. Any threat that isn’t countered not only puts lives at risk, it also erodes public confidence and undermines institutions’ reputations.

All relevant stakeholders involved in citywide security need to collaborate to develop enhanced communications and coordination. Cities are made up of complex, interwoven systems involving a widening range of functions, held by a growing range of public institutions and private brands. The aim must be to solve more than technical issues; stakeholders need to overcome strategic vulnerabilities at the organisational level.

USE CASE

In crisis situations, the three critical Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are; the ability to make the right decision, the speed of reaction, and the capacity to communicate and coordinate your response.

Open data correlation platforms using machine learning, combined with real-time shared situational awareness, create actionable intelligence which enhances and synchronises collaboration between all civic authorities.

OODA allows all levels of command to share situational awareness instantly. Dedicated application modules are deployed on video walls, touchscreen tables, desktops, tablets or mobile phones.

Any modern public organisation must have the capacity to monitor and control missions, while interacting intuitively and in real time with its agents deployed in the field.
