4.3.3 Las Condes, MR (Metropolitan Region), Santiago de Chile

In the first stage, Las Condes contemplated the replacement of 22,000 lights, each with a motion
sensor, out of the 42,000 that exist in the commune. More than 2,000 additional sensors with a
multiplicity of functions that connect to the luminaires were also installed. The sensors also measure
congestion by detecting the number of vehicles on the road and the speed at which they are
moving. Added to this are another 400 sensors that measured air quality, 300 that control automatic
irrigation based on climatic data, and 300 more sensors that measure noise levels in certain sectors
of the commune. All this data is online for the community.

The Open Smart City programme considered the following innovations, among others:

• Collect information from the city, citizens and companies, complying with pertinent privacy
requirements.
• Distribute the information so that it can be processed by those responsible for different
municipal services, such as waste management, environmental safety, mobility parking, traffic
and public transport, emergency management and public order, and smart meters for water,
gas, electricity.

• Analyse the information according to the defined criteria.
• Make decisions by returning the refined information to the systems in charge of executing the
different actions.

• Exposing data and capabilities to developers to facilitate the creation of an ecosystem of
applications on the platform, which creates additional value for the citizen.

Figure 22 presents a proposal for an Open Smart City Enabling Infrastructure from the Smart Public
Lighting Network to be applied in Chile showing an architecture corresponding to the information
and communication technology realm of an Open and Sustainable Smart City, emphasizing the
Smart Public Lighting Network (RAPI). The proposed architecture consists of the following layers:
Intelligent Public Lighting Network (RAPI), layer of sensors and connected devices, interconnectivity
layer, layer of Integrated Operation and Control Centres as well as an application layer and
communication interfaces.

The technology to implement a technological architecture of an Open Smart City must be modular
and expandable with widely adopted open standards, which can be combined with other platforms
and connected with the population through user-friendly applications. Municipalities and cities can
benefit from an Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity infrastructure that enables the development
of smart solutions in a ubiquitous way.
