CIDADES INTELIGENTES, TECNOLOGIAS E APLICABILIDADE NA CIDADE DE CATALÃO - GOIÁS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the concept of smart cities and how their technologies can improve the quality of life of Catalan citizens. As a result, surveys were carried out of technologies from Singapore and Amsterdam, two cities recognized for their integrated intelligent solutions in several urban areas. This research demonstrates how Singapore stands out for investment in technological infrastructure and its implementation of solutions, such as the Green Link Determining (GLIDE) system, through intelligent control of traffic lights. Already Amsterdam, with its approach that brings together technology, sustainability and citizen participation data, as demonstrated by Amsterdam Rainproof, which aims to bring solutions to management rainwater through citizen participation. Based on this comparative analysis of the data and in the context found in Catalão, investment in technologies is necessary to improve urban mobility, considering the growing number of vehicles and the limitations of public transport system. Among other solutions studied, the GLIDE system proved to be the most suitable for the reality of Catalão, by offering an intelligent control system for traffic lights called “Smart Traffic Lights” that aim to optimize traffic flow as it also improves urban mobility. Finally, it is understood that the use of technologies like the GLIDE system, other projects like “Catalão Segura” can transform reality Catalão city into an even more intelligent city, with a higher quality of life for its citizens and improving their economic development.
