Visual City Traffic Analysis System at the Smart Urban Management and Supervision Center
Operated by a smart analytic technology
Visiting the Smart Urban Management and Supervision Center - the first general operation center in the country, we can understand how convenient all applications of the center bring to the citizens - the subjects of the project. According to Ms. Trinh Quang Nhat Binh, Deputy Head of Communication division, the center has three main functions which are (including) supervision, operation and synthesis.
This center is superior in the way that it supports provincial leaders to manage both daily and unexpected tasks. On professional aspects, the chairman and vice chairmen of the provincial People's Committee directly manage all related sectors to departments, branches and localities. At the same time, they are able to direct such sudden incidents as flood prevention, dams regulating in rainy seasons, etc.
When the chairman, or vice-chairman of the provincial People's Committee chairs a meeting, statistics on whatsoever field they need will be synthetized and displayed on a monitor connected to the center in less than a minute. In addition, the center also receives feedbacks and assessment on quality of public administrative services and decision-making in the delivery of public administrative services; receives and answers tourists’ questions, supports and advises them about problems they may encounter while visiting the province.
Expert staff analyzes collected data to distribute to processing points according to their functions and tasks
The center also helps the departments to manage their sectors through synthesizing data, images and clips, and distribute them to the processing points in accordance with their functions and tasks. For example, the traffic police direct the traffic, fines violators, and supervise security, safety and order at the central and major areas. The Transportation sector will have accurate data to be able to properly adjust light signals, expand intersections, be aware of common points of traffic jam, and manage public transport and parking lots...
