• Integration with other systems and applications such as systems for energy management
and equipment operation (e.g., sources, lighting, building management); traffic light control;
public transport; environmental stations; water management (irrigation, sewerage); garbage
collection; video surveillance; public and regulated parking; electric vehicle charging points;
citizen information systems (complaint systems, notification of incidents on public roads, urban
emergencies, social networks, and tourism); social networks; corporate ERP; municipal GIS; and
sensorization systems.

6.3.8.2.3 Communication between systems

The platform must allow communication with the different systems integrated into the city.

• Provide the necessary interfaces so that events from one system can trigger actions in other
systems.

• Use APIS and standardized protocols for communication between applications and other
platforms or management systems.
• Have the capacity to be extended to support other communication protocols like communications
between systems that allow the execution of complex functions such as traffic light regulation to
favour access to emergency services in the event of an accident, together with the notification
to organisms involved.

6.3.8.2.4 Safety

Safety is a basic element of the system since the Platform will store critical information for the
functioning of the city and the data of citizens protected by law.

The SSC Platform should implement tools or systems that allow the following tasks:

• Back up critical information.
• Guarantee non-repudiation in the safety net.

• Support data anonymization.

• Ensure data security and integrity.
• Support authentication and authorization.

• Control access to the Platform and all the elements that are accessed through it: sensors, Scadas,
control centres, databases and other applications that are accessed through it.

• Ensure confidentiality in communications with the Platform.
• Ensure confidentiality of data access so that each role can see only the data to which it has
access.

• Define and manage security policies.
