About The Customer
SANDAG is an association of 18 local governments in the two California counties in the U.S. that border Mexico. SANDAG acts as a decision-making forum for the area’s governments and is led by a board of directors composed of mayors, council members, and county supervisors. Advisory members include the U.S. Department of Defense. A division of SANDAG, ARJIS acts as a clearinghouse for criminal incidents and records among 81 agencies. ARJIS is responsible for major public safety initiatives and serves as the region’s information hub for officer notification and information sharing as well as the exchange, validation, and real-time uploading of public safety data.
The Challenge
The Automated Regional Justice Information System (ARJIS) mainframe is relied upon by over 11,000 law enforcement officers, adjudicators, investigators, and analysts at 81 agencies. However, the public safety committee of the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) wanted ARJIS to improve how information was integrated, shared, and re-purposed. The mainframe-based system was costly and hard-coded, making it difficult to adapt to the dynamic needs of law enforcement. The challenge was to move off the mainframe to a service-oriented, process-centric Web-based solution that could increase information accuracy, timeliness, and availability at less cost.
The Solution
ARJIS selected Software AG’s webMethods platform to move off the mainframe to a service-oriented, process-centric Web-based solution. The solution re-used existing logic, helping to preserve SANDAG’s IT investments. Modern interfaces, instead of green screens, make ARJIS solutions easier to use. Every piece of data flows through webMethods Integration Server, which is configured to connect several different interfaces and all of the data-entry applications. The Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) can integrate virtually any system across ARJIS. Any type of information— from fingerprints to videos—can be shared easily. The ESB will scale easily to handle any volume of data. Redundant data entry points are eliminated, which improves data quality and integrity. Development with webMethods Integration Server is faster using out-of-the-box tools. Services and processes are built without coding or custom development.

Case Study
Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.

Case Study
Smart Street Light Network (Copenhagen)
Key stakeholders are taking a comprehensive approach to rethinking smart city innovation. City leaders have collaborated through partnerships involving government, research institutions and solution providers. The Copenhagen Solutions Lab is one of the leading organizations at the forefront of this movement. By bringing together manufacturers with municipal buyers, the Copenhagen Solutions Lab has catalyzed the development and deployment of next-generation smart city innovations. Copenhagen is leveraging this unique approach to accelerate the implementation of smart city solutions. One of the primary focus areas is LED street lighting.
Case Study
Buoy Status Monitoring with LoRa
The Netherlands are well-known for their inland waterways, canals, sluices and of course port activities. The Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure indicates that there are thousands of buoys and fixed items in and near water environments that would profit from IoT monitoring. One of the problems with buoys for example, is that they get hit by ships and the anchor cable breaks. Without connectivity, it takes quite some time to find out that something has happened with that buoy. Not to mention the costs of renting a boat to go to the buoy to fix it. Another important issue, is that there is no real-time monitoring of the buoys at this moment. Only by physically visiting the object on the water, one gains insight in its status.
Case Study
China Mobile Smart Parking
Smart Parking, powered by NB-IoT technology, is making it easier for drivers to find free parking spots. Cities can better manage their parking assets and maximize the revenue available to them as a result. Drivers searching for parking create congestion and pollution by circling and hunting for available parking. Smart Parking services are able to significantly ease these problems by guiding a driver directly to a parking space.
Case Study
Barcelona Case Study
Barcelona’s heavy traffic and its associated high levels of pollution were the primary factors that motivated some companies and universities to work on strategies for improving traffic in the city centre. Bitcarrier is one of the technologies involved in the In4Mo Project, whose main objective is to develop the applications that form the core of smart mobility, one of the fundamental pillars of the smart city concept.
