04 JuneThe City Council will control the capacity of the beach with an artificial intelligence system to avoid congestion
The system sectorizes the beaches into multiple virtual areas to ensure control; in this way the evolution of employment can be predicted. In addition, on weekends, vigilantes will monitor the areas to ensure everyone’s safety.
For second year, the beaches of Calella will have a capacity control to ensure safety and allow users to enjoy a good experience. The beach area will be divided into about 15 signposted sectors that meet employment monitoring criteria; a follow-up that will be done through technological means.
The City Council has re-contracted the services of the company DatActions to implement the DasEyes application, whose function is to sectorize the beaches in multiple virtual areas in order to detect the number of people in each sector. There will also be a webcam that will allow you to have a zenithal image. All this data will be treated, as last year, completely anonymously and scrupulously respecting the data protection law.
On weekends, when there is more confluence and traffic on the beach, municipal agents will be provided with tools to monitor capacity; these agents will patrol to make sure there are no problems and ensure order in the areas. In addition, to make it easier for them, Artificial Intelligence methods make it possible to predict when the beaches will be filled. Depending on the data, the agents will open and close the different sections to the public in such a way that there will always be a safe capacity in all areas.
