geofences (an alarm sounds when a vehicle passes through a geographical area, which is useful
for things like garbage dump monitoring and fleet control), and displays on control panels.

Open data and services

The Montevideo API public portal provides a service API with platform information (including in
11
real time) to developers through a self-managed portal. This mechanism is used for the publication
of information for third parties such as the estimated time of arrival (ETA) at the bus stop of public
transport units, which is used by the ComoIr application of the IdeM, as well as by applications from
external companies. The same mechanism is used for interconnection with other platforms such
as Moovit, Waze, the National Port Administration and the Institute of Meteorology.

Data analysis applications

The Big Data tools associated with the smart city platform, along with the ability to integrate different
sources and verticals have made it possible to work with data from the Metropolitan Transport
Systems STM (electronic ticket sales), including the real-time positions of buses and the systems
associated with the Mobility Management Centre or corporate systems of the Montevideo City
Council (city sewer and sanitation system, Unique Claims System and the GRP). By applying data
analysis techniques, different applications have been developed:

• Algorithm to deduce the destination bus stop from users of the public transport system, based
on upcoming trips and historical card information.
• Origin/destination matrix with visualizations according to neighbourhoods, lines, schedules or
time periods.

• Service levels of the fleet, compliance with schedules, routes and times of passage by stops.
• Line-occupancy levels, occupancy prediction, and application as an aid to control during the
COVID-19 pandemic.

• Model of bus stop occupancy levels.
• Analysis of travel times.

• Analysis of use by type of user served to establish frequent user policies.

• Traffic, accident and speed applications.
• Applications on the cleaning and waste collection system of the city, location of the garbage
containers and lifting control.

• Analysis of consumers of city sewer and sanitation systems.

• Real-time analysis of alarms and indications of data network equipment (logs) for prediction of
failures.
