Government value proposition for smart city use cases Business Challenges Solutions powered by ALE • Inefficient process to alert citizens when an emergency occurs during a large public venue. • Alert citizens quickest exit from the venue by using wayfinding and analytics. • Enhance safety for families or groups when attending crowded events. • Increase city revenue when citizens are attending public events. • Use geofencing to send alerts when dependents go astray from your location. • Targeted discounts and advertising are enabled by geonotifications to drive additional revenue.
Example of smart city mobile app Providing real time venue information for citizens. 1 - Citizens enter a public venue such as a museum. They launch the Smart City application. Their location is identified on the map. 17 5 - After visiting the exhibit, citizens can record their experience on the venue social media platform, so it can be shared with other visitors. 2 - Citizens share their signup ID with other members of their group, so the group can keep track of each others location. 6 - Need to find a restroom, gift shop or restaurant? Click on POI (Point of Interest) to get directions. 3 - A specific GEO tag is assigned to infants and elderly members of the group. This provides geofencing alerts to group members if someone tagged exceeds an allowable perimeter. 7 - In case of an emergency, citizens/visitors will be alerted and the quickest path to an exit will be highlighted on their map. 4 - The app will display the different exhibits on a map. An exhibit of interest can be selected, located and the associated wait times are displayed, as well as exhibit information. 8 - Venue security administrators can use the tracker to locate and mobilize security staff quickly and ensure all visitors are evacuated.

The analytics module in the LBS Cloud Manager Overview Dashboard Omni. Access Stellar LBS Cloud Manager There are 4 predefined dashboards: • Overview • Users • Visits • Zones 27
Analytics Users Dashboard Users dashboard • OS distribution • OS versions distribution • Days between visits • Average days between visits • Number of visits per user • Average number of visits • Returning visitors Note: In order to offer user privacy the LBS system implements a rotating pool of user IDs. Each user is assigned a user ID for a limited period of time, configurable in hours. After that period the user IDs are put back into a pool of IDs which become available for other users. Metrics related to customer loyalty depends on the expiration of user IDs (which is configurable depending on the privacy regulations of each business/country; default is 24 hours; use -1 to disable ID rotation). The affected metrics are Days between visits, Average days between visits, Number of visits per user, Average number of visits, Returning visitors. 28
