Improve decision-making capabilities, enables efficiency gains through more intelligent scheduling and routing, provides improved accuracy of essential records and boosts resiliency of key assets.

Public safety’s focus on location and on being able to act decisively in time-sensitive situations makes GIS critically important.

Using the smart devices deployed across various transportation modes, smart cities use analytics to provide their transportation managers with a complete operating picture.

Requiring open standards in the procurement of public safety systems and equipment, cities increase the choices available to them and decrease costs because open standards mean products can be mixed and matched from different vendors

Have access to a central GIS

City rely on comprehensive device management programs that improve security and resiliency, deliver cost savings and enforce compliance with city data management, security and privacy policies.

Use the best and most widely adopted standards possible so they have easier access to data from other agencies. They also help promote the use of standards nationally and internationally so that more and more data from across the world can be efficiently shared.

Standards exist already for the recording, storing, transmission and use of data

Smart cities adhere to data standards that ensure all of the data they collect – not just by public safety instrumentation and personnel, but across their responsibilities and departments – is handled the same way.
