Smart devices for smart parks

Smart devices are increasingly occupying our attention. If you run, you get an excellent running partner in the form of a watch that measures all the necessary indicators for your health and readiness. If it is sweltering outside and you know that the apartment will be hot when you return from travel or work, you simply, using a smart device, turn on the air conditioning from your app to work before your return. Things are getting more straightforward, faster, safer, and more thoughtful. Smart devices are not enough to make the city smart, nor is the park. It takes good thought to bring together all the components for a smart society to function.

Terms such as smart city, Smart Park, IoT, and smart devices are terms that, improve the work of the community. The point of their use is in the use of natural energy sources and the association of devices – human will and knowledge – and institutions.
Every smart city comprises smart parks, smart households, and organizations. All smart homes and companies are based on work:
– Devices (IoT),

– A platform that assigns functions (phone, interactive kiosk, tablet, computer),

– Internet,

– Applications.

Our devices are already working closely with the smart system. Although we haven’t called them smart solutions, interactive devices certainly are.  They are the base, the place where the data is placed, and the place where the function is assigned.
Below you will find:

• In which places are the Hola interactive kiosks already used for the smart community;

• What does the term smart park mean?

• What do we solve with smart parks?

• How do smart parks work?

• Our ideas for smart parks.

Interactive devices as smart solutions

Interactive devices are a means of communication between smart units.
The city administration can use interactive devices to collect data on people’s needs, requirements, and frequency by placing them on the bus station, airport, or square. In big cities and countries building smart communities, there are also legal regulations on data protection. This means that no one follows anyone, but the need to improve traffic in a specific part of the city is monitored, the need for introducing bus stops is monitored, and air pollution is measured, which further leads to planting and environmental protection. These are just some examples of good data usage, and the benefits are many.

In a smart city, everything is done to improve the quality of people’s lives in that community, about their more effortless movement through traffic and bureaucracy. A smart city is a city that cares, plans for the long term, and acts thoughtfully.

Our interactive devices are used in Gjakova and Peja to measure air pollution, and relevant measurement data are broadcast on them. In that way, the citizens’ awareness of air quality is raised, and the question of what kind of air they breathe is always answered.

The interactive device has also found its application in Arandjelovac, which is a step towards good city urbanization. It is a parking application broadcast on our interactive display, essential for residents and traffic participants. The application shows free parking spaces.

A smart park is a good step in “rejuvenating” urban areas.

As a good indicator of whether a city can function following smart devices, there would be parks that can be equipped with all smart components. Based on the use and utilization of devices in the smart park, we can assess how a smart city would benefit the entire community. Also, based on the use of the device, we understand what needs to be changed (improved).

Elements of a park like this

Two essential elements necessary for a smart park are interactive devices and a solar bench with all the definitions of a smart device.
The solar bench has:

• Phone and laptop chargers,

• Free WiFi

• Bookmarks through which the user downloads content. In this way, we use bench displays to educate young people about renewable energy sources,

• Sensors – by using them, the bench owner gets information about the use of the bench, park, and marketing elements near it.

Optional elements and benefits of the bench would be:
• Advertising billboards as well as scooter chargers.

• Bench ergonomics is a design solution that makes the bench different from others in its appearance in that it can be adapted to a person’s mood for work and enjoyment.

What do smart parks solve for us?

As we said at the beginning of the text, smart parks solve the quality of life of people, fellow citizens, visitors, and tourists.
The community in which we have decided to live is becoming overcrowded. Currently, the trend is to populate cities and create megacities. In Serbia, there is a trend of migration to cities. There is still no metropolis. However, there are abandoned villages.
To preserve the human need to spend time in nature and to inspire young people to spend more and more time in nature, it is necessary to improve the parks. Parks need to be made flexible for the modern man and new generations. It is vital to be outdoors, to lead a healthy life, but at the same time, to be connected with work or to be “online, connected.” Being in nature to modern man does not mean closing the door to obligations. Reconcile these two.

Smart parks and smart devices can be used in all spheres of life.

Their well-being has already been proven in:

  1. administration
  2. health
  3. education
  4. traffic
  5. construction
  6.  and many other spheres of human action.

Smart devices are technical solutions that are, in fact, a means by which higher goals of the community are achieved, such as – the goals of sustainability of economic development and social and environmental development of the community.

Planning is the basis of an excellent Smart City or Park.

Preliminary planning on the consumption of renewable energy sources, recycling, measurements, and placement of data, is primary and should be detailed. In such a planned system, smart devices are the best tool with long-term benefits for the community.

The database, which in this example is the Smart Park, from its network devices connected with institutions – does the following:

–          Collects data;

–          Analyzes and forwards data;

–          Networking information;

–          Use them to improve the quality of life.

If the city uses the data of the Smart Park, then the city at the moment has the proper insight and statistics of the set parameters. The city’s goal is to improve some or all of its services. It does so precisely based on information recorded by smart systems.

Hola Systems is undoubtedly evolving in the direction of smart technologies because it believes that cities are gradually experiencing such a transformation.
Every city in Serbia already has some of the most innovative solutions for better functioning in its parks or squares. Our idea is to develop a Smart Park that will mean innovation in the city’s urban plan and satisfaction to the user when using the resources the park offers. The smart park unites all smart devices and connects the green area, renewable energy sources, and human providence.
