The Impulso VLCi project will see the city adoption for new solutions in five different smart areas:
40
mobility, governance, environment, society and well-being. This includes 17 initiatives, some of
which are already operational, such as real-time monitoring of the occupancy of parking spaces
with reduced mobility (PRM), loading and unloading taxis, monitoring in real-time the filling of
containers, intelligent management of public lighting, deployment of environmental stations in the
EMT (Municipal Transport Company) bus fleet, deployment of noise sensors in problem areas, fast-
charging stations for electric vehicles with their respective occupancy sensors, regulated parking
management, among others. These initiatives will introduce new services for citizens and will enrich
the VLCi platform with new indicators and useful information for city decision-making.

The "Connecta VLCi" project, currently in technical specification phase, includes the deployment
of sensors and actuators to monitor and control 194 municipal buildings, and the development of
new services for citizens, such as:

• A dynamic guidance system for municipal museums.

• A platform for environmental awareness for the educational community.

• An App for the reservation of sports facilities.

It also considers the connection of the city platform with systems of other public-private entities
(ADIF, AENA etc) that allow the exchange of information of mutual interest.

The Valencia city council, to continue with its corporate strategy of digital transformation, established
the Smart City Office on 16 February 2018 under the Delegation of Digital Agenda and Electronic
Administration of the City Council.
