• MONITOR OF TOURISM SUSTAINABILITY IN DESTINATIONS
  Goals and benefits: To help destination managers work together with the private sector to offer a sustainable tourism experience. Identify areas for improvement in the perception of tourists, who are increasingly responsible and sustainable, during the decision-making, visit and prescription phases. Improve the image and reputation of the different tourism services, and in turn the destination as a whole. Incorporate the perspective of local population in the sustainability strategy of the tourist activity of their destinations. Content: OFERTA module: characterisation of the tourist offerings in terms of sustainability (certifications available, communication in online channels, etc.) DEMANDA module: indicators of visitor perception and indicators of concentration of tourist activity (flows, periods, markets, products, etc.). RESIDENTE module: incorporation of the opinions of local population on tourist activity, with the systematised consultation of opinions, complaints, etc. Methodology: mixed methodology of integration of indicators potentially already available from different data sources used by the destination itself with the generation of new ad-hoc indicators for the project. Data viewer for the progress tracking of the main indicators and the actions carried out by the destination for their continuous improvement. Support in actions to convey results to the sector.
• FASTPRK: GUIDED PARKING SYSTEM FOR TOURIST BUSES (PARK & RIDE)
  This solution guides bus drivers directly to parking areas with free spaces, equipping each parking space with wireless sensors. Benefits: By guiding drivers directly to free spaces, buses don't need to circulate unnecessarily and this avoids the potential disruptions generated. The resulting reduction in traffic flow lowers pollution. The reduction in traffic, disruptions and pollution enhances the well-being of users, citizens and residents. The system includes: U-Spot wireless space-by-space parking sensors or U-Spot Visio camera detection software, to check free spaces in real time. Dynamic signage panels that are informative, high quality and adapted to urban environments to report how many free spaces are available. Web and mobile applications for managing the devices and the analysis of space usage. API for integrating the system with any third-party system. How does it work? Drivers head for a free space, guided by the information they can see on the information panel. They park the bus. The U-Spot sensor or U-Spot Visio camera software detects that the vehicle has arrived and sends this information to the data collection platform, which updates the panels with the new number of spaces available. When the bus leaves the process takes place in reverse, and the platform sends the data indicating one more space available. The manager can supervise all the system information via U-Admin platform.
• FASTPRK: MANAGEMENT OF PARKING SPACES AND AREAS RESERVED FOR LOADING AND UNLOADING OPERATIONS
  Loading and unloading areas play a key role in urban mobility. In most cities, they are the areas where most parking violations occur. The misuse of these places means that lorries and vans have to double park, which has a very negative impact on cities. This solution allows the surveillance services to be remotely alerted to unauthorised use of these parking spaces or to a worker exceeding their time limit, thanks to the Smart Parking. The system includes: U-Spot sensors installed in each place and that detect when a vehicle is present, or not. Parktime app to which authorised users have access and which they can use to check for free parking spaces in their vicinity and to report their use. ParkCtrl app for supervisors, giving them fast and easy control. U-Admin web platform for configuring, monitoring and consulting all the system’s activity: places, usage rules, accounts of users, driver fleets and supervisors. Urbiotica's monitoring solution for reserved loading and unloading places is to identify the users parked in each place and generate alerts when fraudulent use is detected. It allows for a dramatic reduction in violations and increased rotation of vehicles in the places, with a positive impact on availability. This increased availability is transmitted to authorised users via Parktime, increasing the possibilities and speed in finding a loading and unloading space. In addition, the real time visualisation of alerts allows the optimisation of control and resources assigned to this operation, permitting the prioritisation of areas with more violations. When users feel they are being monitored, they tend to comply with the regulations. It has a clear educational effect that is key to achieving more sustainable mobility.
• FASTPRK: MANAGEMENT OF PARKING SPACES RESERVED FOR CHARGING ELECTRIC VEHICLES
  Electric vehicles play a key role in sustainable mobility as opposed to combustion engines, so it is becoming increasingly common to find parking spaces reserved exclusively for charging electric vehicles. These spaces play a key role for the majority of these users due to the lack of other charging options nearby. This solution enables users to be guided directly to free places and remotely alerts the surveillance services when an infringement occurs and an unauthorised user parks there. Benefits: The identification and control of users parked in each space helps to reduce violations in these places. The control of authorised users reduces fraudulent use of the spaces and offers more parking opportunities to those who really need them. Authorised users have information on where to find available parking spaces, giving them a better experience when travelling. The real-time visualisation of alerts allows the optimisation of control operations, permitting the prioritisation of areas with more violations. The system includes: U-Spot M2M parking sensors installed in each parking space. App for authorised users through which they must state their use. It also provides information on the availability of free spaces. Control app managed by the supervisors. U-Admin web platform for improving the system. API for integrating into any third-party system. How does it work? The user parks in a space reserved for electric vehicles. The U-Spot M2M sensor detects their arrival. The user confirms that they have parked in a specific space via the app, indicating the space number. If the user does not send this notification or they exceed the maximum time limit, an alert will be sent to the supervisor. When the car is moved from the space or if the session is managed by the supervisor, the alert disappears and the space remains monitored. The manager can configure and monitor all the activity via U-Admin.
• GEOLOCATING TOURISTS
  The tourist geolocation platform finds which geographical areas are most likely to respond to capture campaigns, based on the extraction of data about tourists' interests and analysing the homogeneity of the locations. Phase 1: extracting tourists' interests based on Big Data, opinion surveys, active listening on social networks and any other source of information. Phase 2: analysing the homogeneity of the location through statistical comparisons and formulae. Phase 3: constructing a classification model (machine learning, AI) for geographical location and capture through logarithms. Tyrceo helps destinations attract more tourists.

• FLOW ANALYSIS – SEEKETING PHYGITAL ANALYTICS
  Small plug-and-play devices (called Seeketing nodes) that connect to any power source/plug and allow the analysis of people area by area, thanks to the mass and anonymous (legal) detection of mobile phones. Seeketing nodes are the only patented technology that can offer massive data (85-90% of mobile detections), precise data (areas from 3 to 15,000 square metres, both indoors and outdoors) and data according to the GPRD. Thanks to the analysis system, data on citizens, tourists and day- trippers is available in any type of municipality (large and small) or territory, with data on flows (with origin and destination between areas), repetition of visits, areas of interest, volume of visitors, new and recurring, etc., all done anonymously and legally. Seeketing nodes far exceed the detection capacity of other systems that do not offer massive or precise data, such as ibeacon Bluetooth and data from mobile applications, Wi-Fi router or Wi-Fi tracking, operator data, or cameras that can only count steps and not people (the same person walking past 10 times is analysed as 10 tourists). Another great technical breakthrough is to use technologies to compile and have knowledge of physical and digital behaviour applied to tourist destinations, as up until now it was considered impossible to know that the person who is now walking past a beach was searching on the municipality's tourist information website yesterday, or to know if the person who yesterday received a promotional email is today walking through one of the municipality's shopping areas. The system responds to the requirements for smart destinations in different sections; people counting, flow analysis, knowledge of tourists, counting of day-trippers, etc. This solution can work integrated with the Phygital Proximity Marketing and Capacity solution.
• VIRTUAL REALITY WALKS
  Through the use of 3D reconstructions, the company can create fully interactive virtual environments which tourists can walk through and interact with. This solution can be used on smartphones and tablets. Its aim is to virtually reconstruct a hyper-realistic space exactly as it was during another era. For example, streets or buildings that used to be located in spots that are now squares or open spaces can be reconstructed. Users who access this technological solution can take a stroll and see what the area looked like in the past. It allows them to take a trip back in time using their mobile, experiencing it for themselves. As they aren't cut off from reality through the use of VR immersive glasses (rather, the VR is on their smartphone or tablet), users can compare the present and past, heightening the experience.
• IMMERSIVE VR
  Sebka Technology offers a technological tool to municipalities that want to turn their history or heritage into a tourist experience through virtual reality. Traditional fishing, the history of mining, or future space travel can all be turned into tourist experiences. Thanks to the construction of a 3D virtual environment, any past or imaginable scenario can be recreated. By putting on a pair of VR glasses, the tourist enters an immersive experience which transports them in time and space. For example, a coastal village may wish to show how the sea has influenced their way of life for millennia. They can recreate a 2nd century CE Roman boat returning from a fishing trip in 3D, showing what the coastline looked like at the time and the buildings and temples it featured. These experiences take tourists to the heart of the action thanks to immersive VR.
