Customer: Municipality of Neapolis

Duration: September 2007 – May 2008

The purpose of the project is the development of a GIS-based platform which will provide an information management tool for the Municipality of Neapoli, an operational decision making support tool and a mechanism to manage and route the municipal fleet and waste collection vehicles (WCV). The developed platform will provide the possibility to:
– Monitor in real time and manage the municipal fleet and waste collection vehicles – Route the fleet of waste collection vehicles – Monitor and manage the waste collection procedure – Manage traffic events and data in real time – Manage municipal assets and infrastructure – Handle requests submitted electronically by the citizens – Manage the geographical background and static data
The platform is based on the collection of the complete list of static data which form the municipal assets – eg traffic network -, the installation of GPS/GPRS modules on both the municipal vehicles and WCVs in order to provide real time information regarding vehicle’s position and its status, as well as an application to handle requests submitted by the citizens.
The collected information is organized and stored in a geographical database, while the applications that will be developed to support the Municipality of Neapoli will contribute to Municipality’s strategic plans by:  Providing an enhanced mechanism for routing of waste collection vehicles based on actual needs, taking into account possible special cases  Enabling the correct planning of maintenance activities (through active information collected directly from the field)  Providing an advanced mechanism for handling municipal procedures and thus offering improved services to Neapoli’s citizens
