• Creation of a harmonized physical and cyber-security solution for smart cities engaging all involved stakeholders (public transport, Law Enforcement Agencies, energy sector, civil security, and public operators). The project engages 5 cities (Trikala, Valencia, Bilbao, Buzau, Pilsen) with a combined population of 1.5 million people and solution will be demonstrated in large scale pilots in 3 of those cities.
• Leverage multiple heterogeneous data sources from legacy sensors, novel sensing elements, and crowd sourcing from social media as input to the data fusion engine of the digital twins. The S4AllCities System of Systems, consisting of 14 tools and 3 digital twins, forms a novel transferable and replicable tool for the protection of citizens by preventing risks.
• Engage the wider public and simultaneously conform tools with societal values, comply with laws and directives, while not affecting citizens’ lives or changing the cities’ open character. The combination of novel technologies along with the active engagement of citizens will provide a new approach for enhancing the security of public spaces.
