Last February 28 at the Pavilion of Spain at the Mobile World Congress 2017, the applications developed by IDOM under the Granada Human Smart City project were presented. This project is one of the initiatives of the National Plan of Intelligent Cities promoted by Red.es, one of the pioneering public entities in the promotion and implementation of the smartcity concept in our country.

The project aims to make universally accessible the Albaicín neighborhood for all people regardless of their physical condition, age or place of origin as well as the promotion and accessibility of cultural heritage and the promotion of smart and sustainable tourism, all with employment Innovative, integrated and efficient information technologies.

In order to achieve universal accessibility and improve mobility, a Mobile and Web Application has been developed that provides the calculation of the optimal route depending on the mobility profile of the user; Thanks to this, people with mobility difficulties (elderly or people in wheelchairs) or families that move pushing baby carts will be able to obtain information on the most suitable route in their walks through the historic neighborhood of the Albaicín, including the topographic profile of The route, information about accessibility such as stairs, slopes, types of pavement and the possibility of avoiding routes with stairs or sections of steep slope. In addition, users will be able to consult different geographic information such as bus stops, taxi, parking spaces of reduced mobility, etc. And tourist information such as routes and tourist attractions that improve the experience of visitors.

For the promotion and accessibility to cultural heritage using laser scanner devices have been raised 3D models of elements of tourist interest in the area of study. These models can be viewed in a 3D environment on different devices such as mobile phones, tablets and personal computers. In addition, one of these models, the façade of the Renaissance museum, has served as a base to generate a 3D model using the latest 3D printing techniques which allows blind people to know, through the touch, this unique monument.

With this project the city of Granada becomes a pioneer in the provision of services based on location oriented to facilitate an experience accessible to anyone visiting the city.
