“These modern cities, capable of implementing
infrastructures (of water, electricity, gases,
transport, etc.) communicating and sustainable
to improve citizens’ comfort while developing in
the environmental protection.”
MANILA LRMC PROJECT
Phar has been actively involved in the developement and implementation of smart cities around the globe.
In Manila, 20 stations have been completely renovated under the supervision of PHAR and LRMC Station Improvement Teams. A major overhaul project that concerns the lighting and electrical conduits. The stations have also undergone a structural redesign while ”roof rehabilitation” and paintings together with new walkways, escalator and elevators will provide greater convenience to passengers.
Improvements have been made in term of Design, Safety and Digitalization, while new softwares and wifi capability been introduced in the stations.
The Vision : Makati-Manila
Make Makati the standard for other smart cities to follow
Start with the foundation of any smart city – connectivity through wireless infrastructure and real-time
communication channels via digital screens (one-way) and the Makati Portal and Kiosks (two-way)
Once the base infrastructure is installed, smart city initiatives can be developed by AC Infra and the public
using open data feeds of real-time city data.These may include parking solutions, intelligent street
lighting, sensors that measure pollution, other green initiatives, waste disposal, autonomous vehicles, media
and entertainment, healthcare, energy saving, location based services that help retailers / malls etc.
INTERACTIVE
(1) A Portal that Wi-Fi users see when logging
in to the Makati system. This can be used to
display useful information, updates, news and
partner messages
(2) Kiosks in pedestrian areas
with screen displays that also
have VOIP calls, usb charging
and SOS features.
INFRASTRUCTURE
(1) Fibre cable laid to provide the
underlying connectivity for the smart
city
(2) Connected Lampposts installed
with Wi-Fi Access Points, sensors and
CCTV built in
(3) LED advertising displays to enable
both city wide and localised
messaging, as well as advertising
DATA & INNOVATION
The Open Data Alliance to allow developers to build applications and tools utilising real-time city data:
• Safety (CCTV, Public Alert Systems)
• Traffic
• Pollution
• Retail
• Parking
SMART PARKING
Parking lots will be equipped with an app for parking
attendants that allows one way communication regarding availability of parking.
Parking availability (in real time) will be displayed on the
digital screens enabling less circling of cars (waiting for
parking), eliminating guesswork and helping to reduce
congestion.
PROJECT UNDERWAY
LAMP POSTS fitted with wireless access
points + LED digital screens while new ones will have CCTV, real time hazard
warning, Wi-Fi access points, small cell sites.
DIGITAL SCREENS to be used for
• Advertising
• Parking
• Traffic and congestion updates
• Weather updates
• Maps, Local events
INTERNET KIOSKS with high speed connectivity will be mounted on
pavements capable of :
• Mobile phone charging
• Interactive map display and messaging
Wi-Fi to be used by residents / office going crowds in Makati
