The deployment behind a city command centre: traffic cameras, sensors and services feeding a data platform and video wall.
Deployment diagrams are part of Pro. Anyone can view this one; generating and editing it needs Pro.

Integrated command and control centre deployment: traffic cameras with edge AI (ANPR, red-light violation), environment sensors, smart streetlights and GPS on city buses connect over the city fibre network to an on-premise data centre. A Kubernetes cluster runs ingest services, a Kafka event bus, video management and analytics, and a PostgreSQL/PostGIS data platform. The command centre video wall and department dashboards consume the data; open data APIs publish selected datasets.

How an adaptive traffic system uses cameras and sensors to time signals, spot congestion and catch violations.
How a city approves building plans online with automated checks: submission, auto-scrutiny against bye-laws, department NOCs and sanction.
A map of the main areas city planners work on and the data and systems behind each one.
How a smart parking system guides a driver to a free space: sensors, a parking app, reservation, entry by number plate and automatic payment.
How a city optimises garbage collection: bin fill-level sensors, truck GPS, route planning and citizen complaints.
