transport , utility and logistics services . Security plays a big part in this project . The authority ’ s model includes CCTV cameras , GPS information and other feeds that can be built up into a complete picture .
This allows them to operate what-if scenarios and isolate gaps in services or security provision . Incorporating building services , aircraft movements , foot traffic and much more , helps planners see the whole system and work towards improving its security and overall efficiency .
The same system when it is applied to a city deploys the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform to unify silos of information and bring departments into harmony . Integrating a city ’ s information means efficiencies can be introduced because people are aware of each other ’ s work and can organise departments and security based on current information and needs .
The software does this with workflow monitoring . Unifying and co-ordinating systems around a 3D digital model encourages fresh ideas sparked by collaboration and the new vision that the model provides .
People can more fully understand the impact of their decisions and , by
‘ Many cities use 3D digital simulations to run and optimise security scenarios . Events ranging from a city centre dirty bomb to live maps of potentially vulnerable areas ’
