A beach management system integrated to the Smart City platform was implemented in the city of Santander. The system can manage the status and capacity of urban beaches and the sea with the help of assistants and educators, ensuring the safety of beach users.
The objective was to make the beaches safe and minimize the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic by ensuring social distancing on the beaches.
Combining novel and innovative solutions for the control of gauging and human resources present on the beaches, the solution was:
16 beach accesses were set up with the following: demarcation of areas of stay and walk; entry and exit itineraries through a bidirectional corridor with fixed beaconing; dynamic beaconing every day for the areas of walk along the shore; and vertical signage and horizontal signaling.
People counting devices were installed at the regulated accesses. They are equipped with 3D vision technology sensors that calculate in real time the number of people entering and exiting through each access. Periodically, this information is sent to the Smart City platform through the use of 3G/4G communication routers. Devices and digital cardboard are powered 24 hours a day with the use of solar panels.
All the information and all the urban beaches are managed through the Santander Smart City Platform, which dynamically calculates the maximum capacity and integrates information in real time. This information consists of: characteristics of the beaches; lifeguard and lifeguard services (flags, jellyfish);…
