Sadeem Completed the First Stage of the DQGA Project for Smart City Solutions

In cooperation with the Diplomatic Quarter General Authority (DQGA), Sadeem completed the first phase of the installation of traffic monitoring systems in the main gates of Al Safarat District in Riyadh on 17 Nov, 2019.

The project aims to bring Sadeem’s innovative technology to the concerned areas in the Diplomatic Quarter to address air quality and traffic issues by deploying a complete wireless sensing system that covers a specific geographic area to enable the DQ achieve the highest standards of environment and infrastructure and obtain accurate real time data for efficient urban management.

On June 11th 2019, Sadeem team with the authorization of the DQGA team installed a demo Aura sensing unit (Aura 2.0) near the south gate of the DQ premises to monitor the air quality and dust accumulations, as well as traffic counts at the gates and some specific locations around the urban area of the DQ.

The information is streaming in the real time on a visualization platform that Sadeem provides for the DQGA featuring real time information, daily indicators, and customized reporting about flood, traffic, and air quality.

Sadeem’s sensors have been deployed in the main gate, the northern gate, and the southern gate. Today we obtained sufficient data that
help us in making decisions by knowing car counts and traffic density.
This is something that serves smart cities in the world to make use
of accurate data”.
