Purpose
A public information concept for municipalities and service operators. Tags can open locally relevant information that editors update, including heat-awareness guidance and directions to designated cooling locations.
All applications
Cities
Smart Cities
Local information points that connect public places with updated guidance.
Predictive AI
Prediction from this application's own analytics
Like every Cloud on Tap application, Smart Cities includes AI prediction based on the analytics it holds in the cloud. Those analytics draw on the records submitted through its authorised workflows, under the same role-based access as the rest of the record.
Predictions support people's judgement. They do not replace review, professional advice or the configured workflow.
