Digital security at the Lederhof: Winner of the Smart City Ulm ideas competition

Ulm: Digital innovation improves security in the city

The city of Ulm recently completed the "Attractive Lederhof" ideas competition as part of its smart city strategy. The winner of the competition was the digital companion, which was developed by CitySensen and Bebucket. This innovative solution will help increase security in Ulm and to abolish anxiety.

The digital companion is based on artificial intelligence and is supported by cameras on site to record people and monitor their environment. In the case of anomalies, the AI immediately triggers an alarm. Users can access the digital companion via an app that is scanned with a QR code at the entrance of the leather courtyard. In addition, there is an SOS button in the app for an emergency.

The implementation of this project is part of the innovation engine of the city of Ulm, which aims to win regional minds and start-ups for the development of smart city solutions. With a budget of 100,000 euros, which is made available as part of the Smart Cities model project by the Federal Ministry of Living, Urban Development and Building

The Mayor of Ulm, Martin Ansbacher, emphasizes the importance of digital companion for the security of the city. It describes the intelligent combination of digital and analog solutions as crucial for the visible and noticeable increase in security in places such as the leather courtyard.

The introduction of the digital companion marks an important step in Ulm's endeavor to become a safer and more networked city. Through the use of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, a contribution to creating a safe and pleasant environment is made for all citizens. The initiative clearly shows how innovation and technology can improve the quality of life in cities. - nag
