City of Rimini

Thanks to funding from the PNRR, the City of Rimini has embarked on an ambitious path toward digital transformation and ecological transition. The goal is to develop an integrated vision of the territory, where scientific data collection becomes a tool for urban planning and resilience to manage the impact of environmental change.

In this context of innovation, the municipal administration needed to monitor the city’s well-being in real time, laying the groundwork for the future development of the Citiverse model.

To manage the complexity of a Smart City, Rimini did not need a simple data repository, but rather an ecosystem capable of standardizing and making sense of diverse information. The WiseTown technology was chosen precisely because of its ability to act as an “intelligent aggregator.”

The WiseTown platform was chosen for its flexibility in centralizing and interpreting both historical data streams and real-time IoT streams, while also interfacing with the cartographic and mobile road mapping data developed by partner Gemmlab. In this way, the municipality was able to implement a unified architecture for environmental and mobility management, organized into three strategic dashboards:

• WA2NNA-BEST Index: a composite indicator that measures and compares the municipality’s environmental performance by evaluating six key areas (air, water, waste, noise, energy-climate, and biodiversity) on a scale of 1 to 30, allowing technicians and policymakers to instantly grasp the overall level of sustainability.
• Environmental Indicators Dashboard: a module that aggregates the municipality’s quantitative data across the six thematic areas (water consumption and network leaks, waste management, green spaces and ecology, noise exposure, emissions, renewable energy, and sustainable mobility).
• Environmental and Traffic Sensors Dashboard: a control center for internal use only that processes data from IoT sensors throughout the territory.

The implementation of WiseTown technology has brought the City of Rimini both immediate and long-term strategic benefits:

• Centralization of urban data: The administration has begun to address the fragmentation of information by integrating environmental data, traffic flows, and 3D mapping into a single platform for strictly internal use, pending full validation of the IoT data.
• Informed and predictive decision-making: thanks to the wealth of data collected and the power of the Citiverse (currently set up solely for internal use by the public administration, with assets extracted from the digital twin created by Gemmlab).
• Resilience and scientific monitoring: the availability of validated and consistent measurements allows the public administration to verify the effectiveness of the green policies adopted and to respond dynamically to environmental challenges.
