The Department of Modernization of the Administration, Urban Quality and Participation, directed by José Guillén, is installing 15 sensors in two ficus of the Floridablanca garden in order to monitor the status of all specimens located in this green area in real time and guarantee so security, as it was already done in the ficus of Santo Domingo.
This is intended to increase the safety controls of these trees by constantly monitoring the environmental conditions of humidity of the environment of the tree, that is, temperature and humidity, leaf moisture and soil moisture.
In addition to this, a continuous measure of the thickness of several branches will be taken, in different orientations.
This permanent data collection will allow to have enough data to determine a history to be able to predict stress situations of the tree and minimize the risks, with the consequent increase of the safety levels of the same, thanks to Big Data technologies and intelligence algorithms predictive artificial we will be able to monitor the constants of the tree and have enough data so that the municipal specialists can determine the actions to be taken in each moment and minimize the risks of fall of branches that maximize the levels of security.
The technology that will be used to take the constants and monitor the data of the tree is a state-of-the-art technology of Smart Cities (Internet of Things or Internet of Things) in which a device of low energy consumption will store the constants of the tree every minute, and send them to a system in the cloud where all the data will be stored.
These data will be sent through a wireless system of low consumption and can be monitored through the fixed or mobile devices of the technicians of the City of Murcia.
In addition, this device will be able to interact with auxiliary elements of the tree as their irrigation, providing us with information about how much water has been watered and even operate the irrigation itself at specific times or spraying systems to cool it and reduce ambient temperature or increase the relative humidity of the environment.
The system has the possibility of integrating alerts and warnings so that the specialists of the Town Hall are perfectly informed of the state of the environment surrounding the trees and that have an obvious influence on them, with the consequent increase in tree safety levels and its environment.
This monitoring system is one more element of the MiMurcia solutions as an information and sensorisation integration platform for the different services of the City of Murcia.
This will enable, through the smart city platform and CEUS, both citizens and city council technicians to have continuous information on the state of the city and its resources, such as its most emblematic ornamental trees.
MiMurcia will bring the state of its resources closer to the citizen and will allow the situation in Murcia to be pressed at all times.
The devices are designed to be powered by solar energy and also have a last generation design that allows them to have a minimum energy consumption, and a minimal impact on the environment.
It must be remembered that pruning work was carried out in these two Floridablanca units last November, thanks to which two specialized climbers analyzed the ficus macrophylla from the Floridablanca garden branch by branch.
This revision was made through the use of octopus trucks that allow to easily check the status of the specimen, although in the case of trees where access to it is impossible through other means, the climbing system is used.
