City of Albuquerque Smart Communities Pino Yards Proving Grounds
An arial view of multiple buildings, parking lots with lighting, and streets is shown.
Pino Yards provides the City of Albuquerque's Department of Technology and Innovation an opportunity to put various smart technologies, both hardware and software, to a real-world test.
The location is a working, living environment with a varied urban framework covering a large area. Outside contractors and collaborators can perform tests and demonstrations of various hardware and software.
Smart Lighting can be controlled remotely to adjust brightness and intensity. We have updated with new WIFI and Sensors.
Cameras provide data on pedestrian and vehicle patterns and interactions at crosswalks, and parking lot data, e.g. available spots and security alerts.
An areal view of Pino Yards is shown with a trailer, solar, and wifi icon that says Smart Spot Park by trees, Smart light/smart camera and Crosswalk icons say (Pointed at parking lot). Another Smart light/SmartCamera icon by a parking lot says (Pointed at Crosswalk). A solar icon, emergency light icon, and bus stop icon are shown in a row by buildings near the street.
Environmental camera has a multi-input sensor that gathers environmental conditions, e.g. air quality and temperature.
Smart devices placed at key arroyo overlook spots automatically detect the height and flow of water and then alert the public.
A storm icon is shown by a drainage ditch, and environmental sensor/camera icons are shown nearby.
Various icons for cameras, storms, sensors, wifi, solar, crosswalks, bus stops, and emergency lighting are shown in various places around Pino Yards.
The Smart City initiative is all about combining smart hardware and software into smart solutions. The goal is not just to produce data, but to improve safety, communication, and mobility.
By adding Smart City technology to key points in Albuquerque, we can use trash cans, bus stops, or crosswalks to identify ongoing issues or opportunities in an automated and intelligent way.
Our Proving Grounds at Pino Yards allows us to take the Smart City initiative from concept to application, allowing us the opportunity to put various smart technologies, both hardware and software, to a real-world test.
