Flobecq, Belgium, is taking significant strides toward becoming a model smart city, and Omniflow is proud to be a key partner in this transformation. In collaboration with Proximus, a leading telecommunications company, we are excited to announce a new phase of sustainable innovation in Flobecq, building on our earlier installation of smart urban lighting and security systems.
What’s New in Flobecq?
Our recent efforts focus on integrating smart technology to make the city safer, more efficient, and eco-friendly. Here’s a look at our latest contributions:
1. Smart Poles for Crosswalks, Parking, and Security
Omniflow has installed new smart poles throughout Flobecq that enhance pedestrian safety with intelligent crosswalk systems. These poles adapt in real time, brightening lights and signaling drivers as pedestrians approach. The poles also feature smart parking capabilities, which ease traffic flow and reduce congestion, while also enhancing security with monitoring systems that provide real-time data to keep the community safe.
Smart parking: Real-time monitoring and management of parking spaces with local data processing for reduced data consumption and privacy protection. It reduces congestion, improves air quality, and ensures equitable parking access.
Traffic flow management: Monitoring the movement of vehicles and pedestrians delivers data to ensure a smooth and safe traffic flow.
Smart crosswalks: Enhancing pedestrian safety through intelligent crosswalk management with motion sensors and visual alerts to drivers.
2. Omnibench: Sustainable Urban Furniture
Flobecq’s residents and visitors can now enjoy the benefits of our Omnibenchs—urban furniture powered by solar panels. These benches allow people to charge their phones and electronic devices using wireless chargers or USB ports powered by renewable energy. This innovation adds convenience and underscores the city's commitment to sustainability, reducing reliance on traditional energy sources.
3. Traffic Monitoring and Smart City Insights
A network of Omniflow’s smart poles is now actively monitoring traffic access in and out of Flobecq’s city center. This data is invaluable for improving traffic management, reducing congestion, and making the urban environment more responsive to real-time needs.
A Collaborative Effort for Smarter Cities
This project is a true partnership. By working alongside Proximus, we combine their connectivity and digital solutions expertise with our cutting-edge smart urban infrastructure. Together, we’re driving Flobecq’s journey to becoming a smarter, safer, and more sustainable city.
Join us in revolutionizing urban mobility, one smart luminaire at a time.
