Riyadh: Public parks and recreation areas serve as essential retreats for citizens, offering spaces for relaxation, exercise, and play. However, maintaining these areas involves significant effort and investment, often overlooked by the public. To address these challenges, SAS Institute, in collaboration with its Internet of Things (IoT) partners, introduces an AI-powered solution to enhance the management of public parks.
Governments and municipalities face difficulties in continuously monitoring public areas due to high costs and limited resources, particularly in remote and low-density regions. With the help of data analytics and AI, authorities can predict which parks are likely to encounter issues such as littering, inappropriate behavior, or facility damage. This predictive capability allows for better allocation of time and resources to manage these areas effectively.
SAS Viya’s advanced technology, integrated with the IoT ecosystem, offers a revolutionary approach to park management. Key features of the solution include: Computer Vision Analysis through CCTV cameras and drones to monitor parks, Real-Time Data Visualization and Alerting for government and municipal staff and Business Intelligence Tools for generating comprehensive reports and dashboards to manage work orders and customer relationship management (CRM).
By combining camera and geospatial data, the system enables timely interventions and efficient deployment of maintenance teams. It also identifies amenities or facilities that require repair or replacement.
The AI-driven approach empowers municipal teams to make informed decisions, proactively mitigating risks and improving operational efficiency. This leads to optimized resource allocation and reduced management costs. Additionally, communities benefit from timely alerts and up-to-date information, allowing authorities to respond swiftly to potential threats, such as flooding, thereby safeguarding public spaces and minimizing risks to life and property.
SAS Viya’s solution, developed as part of the SAS D[n]A Factory in the Middle East, has demonstrated success in enhancing public space management globally. By leveraging real-time data and predictive analytics, the system helps municipalities maintain clean, safe, and enjoyable parks for all citizens.
