Rio Operations Center - A Real-Time Command System in a Smarter City
IBM helped Rio de Janeiro integrate predictive analytics, real-time data, and weather modeling technology to establish a state-of-the-art city operations center. Developed out of a need for improved emergency management and weather prediction, the operations center now acts as the nervous system of the entire city - managing traffic congestion; keeping a close eye on crime response and prevention; predicting brownouts in the power grid; coordinating large-scale events to ensure the safety of the public. Integrating over 30 agencies and services across the city, the Rio operations center empowers the government and its citizens to be prepared for whatever nature may throw their way.
