The German city of Stuttgart is working with Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division and Fujitsu Limited to promote sustainability and improve quality of life for its 600,000 residents, according to a statement from the platform Datacentre Solutions. The two technology companies will deliver a digital twin analysis platform to use data from the city’s urban digital twin project. The platform is based on Hexagon’s M.App Enterprise and Xalt/Integration and Fujitsu’s cloud infrastructure.
The solution will provide a common operating picture for monitoring Internet of Things (IoT) sensor values across the city, such as water quality, flood levels and parking space occupancy, writes the statement. Using these insights, Stuttgart’s Civil Engineering Office can optimize operations and make better future decisions.
Jens Schumacher, head IT, Stuttgart Civil Engineering Office, said in the statement: “Stuttgart’s Urban Digital Twin project will provide our office with a vast amount of mobility and environmental data, and the IoT analysis platform from Hexagon and Fujitsu will give us the ability to use that data to make smarter decisions for the good of our city.”
“Stuttgart is an exemplary model of how cities can solve today’s most pressing urban challenges, such as sustainability, safety and mobility, through the use of real-time data analysis,” added Maximillian Weber, senior vice president EMEA for Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division.
