Our Client
Baku Smart City monitored the urban air quality and environmental health by installing Oizom Polludrone – Online Pollution Monitoring System. In addition to Air Quality monitoring, the Polludrone also monitored the city’s urban weather conditions like temperature and humidity. The real-time data was integrated through CISCO’S platform and data was provided to the city authorities for necessary actions.
The Challenge
With over 2 million population, Baku city is brimming with urbanization and the number of vehicles on roads. Managing traffic and the consequent emission, along with the urban environment has been the most challenging tasks for the city. The city authorities aim to provide a safer and smarter city to their residents. Therefore, installing solutions demanded to have an extrusive system that does not interfere with the city’s safety and still addresses a wide range of city issues and security measures. The authorities wanted a one-solution-fits-all model to heed their smart city concerns, whether it is an everyday routine monitoring or preparing for any city-wide emergency. Eventually, what Baku city needed is a robust solution to tackle their environmental, traffic management, network connectivity, and safety measures, all at once.
The Solution
The city initiated its mission to bridge the gaps with a project named ‘Smart City. The project aimed to focus on Smart lightning, Smart parking, Environmental monitoring, Face Recognition, Plate Recognition, Public Wi-Fi, etc. An agreement between the Ministry of Transport, Communications, and High Technologies AR with CISCO to execute the plan. CISCO, which has partnered with Oizom, is committed to providing IoT systems for the development of smart cities. Oizom deployed its IoT-enabled device Polludrone which is capable of monitoring around 27 environmental parameters. The implementation of the prototype in the Baku International Bus Station to address was for various factors. Such as environmental pollution, traffic management, connectivity to people, along smart lighting to the station. Polludrone measures environmental parameters in real-time. It sends the data directly to the data visualization platform for authorities to analyze the situation.
The Result
The on-time assessment of the ambient environment using Polludrone helped authorities in making quick decisions to minimize environmental pollution resulting due to vehicular emissions. This, in turn, gave a way to develop a smooth traffic management system to control and reduce the number of vehicles and pollution. Read more case studies on pollution.
