Smart City Expo world Congress (SCEWC) is the most relevant international event for cities. In this year’s edition held in November in the city of Barcelona, Pledger had the pleasure of participating to show visitors how its new edge computing paradigm can be applied to a real use case in an urban scenario.

The presentation made from the Barcelona City Council stand under the title “Improving the safety of vulnerable road users under Pledger's next-generation edge computing architecture” had the guidance of Francesco D’Andria (ATOS), August Betzler and Bruno Cordero (i2CAT) and Jordi Ortuño (IMI BCN).

The attendees had the opportunity to discover Pledger’s vision and architecture, before learning more about the three real use cases. The second part of the presentation was focused on showing the use case that will be developed in Barcelona during next year, it will be based on the demonstration of Pledger infrastructure capabilities to provide a reliable solution to the potential collisions that may exist in the city under certain circumstances between vulnerable road users.
