The Valencian Energy Sector Association (Avaesen), in collaboration with the Valencian Regional Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Commerce, and Tourism, has developed the 2024 Guide to Innovative Solutions. This publication includes some of Pavapark’s solutions: the intelligent environmental quality management system, the smart pedestrian crossing, and the electric vehicle charging point management platform.
Avaesen’s 2024 Innovative Solutions Guide aims to highlight best practices and case studies that are transforming municipalities in the Valencian Community into smart, connected, and sustainable environments. It is aimed at urban planners, public officials, and urban developers, as well as the public, and is intended to serve as inspiration.
It is part of the Smart City Index, a project carried out in collaboration with the Ministry of Innovation, Industry, Commerce, and Tourism through the General Directorate of Innovation.
Pavapark solutions for smart and sustainable cities
Through collaboration with companies, the guide showcases a series of innovative solutions offered by Think SmartCity in key areas. The first section, dedicated to the green and sustainable transition, features Pavapark’s intelligent environmental quality management system, which measures and monitors air quality and noise pollution parameters, as well as generating alerts if the thresholds configured in the management platform are exceeded.
This system, which has already been installed in the city of Onda (Castellón), allows for future modifications and expansions, facilitating the integration of different types of sensors that have been previously installed or whose implementation is planned as part of other projects.
Smart pedestrian crossing and charging point management
The guide also includes the Pavapark smart pedestrian crossing, already in operation in Cullera (Valencia) and Calpe (Alicante). It illuminates the start and end of the zebra crossing using white LED panels on the pavement or beacons, as well as vertical signage, to warn drivers when it detects a pedestrian intending to cross. It also incorporates red LEDs to make it more visible during hours of greater natural light.
It also allows for modifications and extensions to facilitate integration with citizen platforms and thus provide the system with statistics, route analysis, and the number of activations for traffic control or conflict points.
Another Pavapark solution featured in the guide is the BEEPARK WEB platform, implemented in Cullera. This centralized, comprehensive system facilitates the processing and control of the city’s electric mobility services and infrastructure, user transactions, and estimates the cost of energy supplied by each charging point, in addition to managing assigned roles and activities.
The dashboard offers clearly and easily interpretable performance indicators, and statistics are presented graphically and visually. This solution thus contributes to making informed decisions and setting alerts.
Regarding technical maintenance operation services, they are adaptable to the needs of each manager, both in terms of the total number of charging points and the number of users, vehicles, and processes, with quality indicators.
