Dijon metropole has launched smart city project OnDijon which remotely manages the urban equipment of all Dijon’s 23 municipalities from a connected control centre.
Through the project service vehicles are geolocated to enable urban equipment to be better managed. This includes waste removal, street cleaning, urban traffic regulation (including traffic lights, street lighting, CCTV or road services), surveillance of public areas, and so on.
The centre also helps to organises inhabitants’ mobility by coordinating means of transport and travel across the area. It will process around 630 daily calls received at the telephone portal dedicated to citizens’ requests.
The project aims to achieve 65 per cent energy saving in 12 years.
The project’s total cost is €105 million, of which €53 million is investment by public sources: Dijon metropole, the city of Dijon, the Bourgogne Franche-Comté Region and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The project funding will include the renovation of over 34, 000 100 per cent LED lighting units, 113 traffic lights, 180 buses fitted with bus priority systems, 205 geolocated vehicles and 130 equipped with radios communication sets, over 140 km of fibre optic cables installed, the renewal of 26 retractable access points and 269 CCTV cameras.
