Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure’s Intergraph Computer-aided Dispatch (I/CAD) system, including its Mobile Responder app, were deployed by Pure Force and Rescue Corporation and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to improve safety and security during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit.
Amid international security concerns following recent terrorist attacks, security measures were heightened for the high-profile international economic forum that gathered the heads of government from the 21 member countries to discuss trade on November 18-19, 2015, in Manila, Philippines.
Using Hexagon’s industry-leading I/CAD in the command center, PNP – the main agency in command and in partnership with Pure Force – benefitted from one common operating picture and detailed information to monitor incidents and manage situations in real time. A total of about 1,000 police officers stationed around the Mall of Asia in Pasay City, the meeting venue for the APEC summit, were equipped with Mobile Responder – an extension of I/CAD’s incident management capabilities on mobile devices for first responders in the field. This allowed the officers to access real-time data and gain true situational awareness to deliver timely, quality response.
“We were confident in our ability to safeguard the APEC Summit because we are equipped with the I/CAD software solution and Mobile Responder app," said Jomerito "Jojo" Soliman, president of Pure Force. “We are proud that we could help our nation create a safer environment for the international delegates where the most stringent security standard was demanded in an event as significant as the APEC Summit.”
PNP had access to the Hexagon software thanks to Pure Force, a private initiative formed to support public safety and emergency response in Philippines. Pure Force is donating Hexagon’s mission-critical software to Philippines public safety agencies, including PNP. With the Hexagon solutions, multiple agencies, such as police, fire and rescue and ambulance, can deliver swift, coordinated response to incidents as mission-critical information is shared among them seamlessly.
The global leader in public safety and security solutions, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure (formerly Intergraph Security Government & Infrastructure) helps protect 1 in 12 people worldwide. By improving the quality, accuracy and availability of critical information, Hexagon’s integrated solutions increase public safety and security performance and productivity, while reducing the total cost of ownership for mission-critical IT investments.

Děkujeme všem našim zákazníkům, obchodním partnerům, přátelům a příznivcům za spolupráci v roce 2015.
Věříme, že i vy jste měli tak úspěšný rok, jako CleverMaps.
Do roku 2016 vám přejeme hodně zdraví, radosti, štěstí a úspěchů a těšíme se na další spolupráci.

Jednoznačnou první příčku obsadilo město Prešov. S velkým odstupem následuje Nitra a Michalovce. Bratislava obsadila až 24. místo z celkových 28 hodnocených měst.
Města mohou být tzv. datově “tupá” anebo inteligentní. Žebříček datové otevřenosti de facto porovnává úroveň inteligence jednotlivých měst z pohledu otevřenosti veřejně dostupných dat. Čím více je město datové otevřené a tím pádem inteligentnější, tím větší možnosti a příležitosti nabízí svým obyvatelům a podnikatelům. Například obyvatelé měst, které dalo veřejně k dispozici ve strojově čitelném formátu svá data o jízdních řádech městské dopravy, mohou dnes využívat velké množství mobilních aplikací pro jednoduché naplánování trasy. Města, která dají veřejně k dispozici aktuální data ze senzorů o dopravní situaci, mají vesměs online aplikace, které aktivně upozorňují řidiče na dopravní zácpy.
“Datová otevřenost je v našich zeměpisných šířkách stále velmi špatná. Čím dříve dojde k masivnímu otevření veřejných dat, tím dříve budou obyvatelé těchto měst benefitovat. Bude to pozitivní signál pro zaměstnanost, zvýšení investic a zlepšení kvality života,” říká Jan Sirotek, spoluzakladatel společnost CleverMaps.

CleverMaps ve spolupráci s Centrem dopravného výzkumu vyvinul unikátní metodiku jak otevřenost jednotlivých měst porovnávat a to i v mezinárodním měřítku. Na jaře letošního roku byl zveřejněn žebříček otevřenosti Českých měst a nyní vznikl obdobný žebříček i pro Slovensko.
Společnost CleverMaps je zároveň aktivním signatářem manifestu Náš stát, naše data. Jejím smyslem je poukázat na to, že český stát disponuje obrovským množstvím dat, která nikdo aktivně nevyužívá ve prospěch zlepšení života občanů. Více o manifestu je ZDE.
Již dnes je na Slovensku možné na základě zákona č. 211/2000 žádat o informace a data vytvářená státní správou či samosprávou. Koncept inteligentního města však usiluje o výraznější posun. Totiž, aby takové město umožnilo svým občanům, svobodně a bezplatně přistupovat k datům, která v něm vznikají, využívat je a budovat nad nimi vizualizace, analýzy nebo mapy.
Samosprávy nenakládají pouze s tabulkovými daty, jako jsou rozpočty nebo smlouvy, ale také s daty o prostoru; ať už jde o katastr nemovitostí, veřejnou zeleň nebo evidenci psů. Oba typy dat je možné uživatelům poskytnout v mnoha různých formátech. Cílem, je aby tato data byla poskytována ve formátech otevřených, strojově čitelných, ideálně přes tzv. rozhraní API.
Zároveň by měla být kvalitní veřejná data doplněna tzv. metadaty. Tedy informacemi o jejich vzniku, autorovi, aktuálnosti, licenčních podmínkách. Mnohé datové sady bez metadat prakticky ztrácejí svou hodnotu, neboť z nich lze jen obtížně odvodit, jaké informace vlastně obsahují.
Hlavní snahou žebříčku otevřenosti Slovenských měst bylo zhodnotit nejen fyzickou dostupnost dat, ale také kvalitu jejich poskytování, tzn. jejich popis či možnosti dalšího využití. K tomuto hodnocení jsme využili metodiku založenou na bodovém hodnocení sledovaných kvantitativních a kvalitativních charakteristik, které dokážou městská data popsat.
Předmětem průzkumu CleverMaps bylo 28 největších slovenských měst, která k poskytování dat přistupují jedním z těchto způsobů:
Všechna města poskytují alespoň některou z datových sad týkajících se rozpočtu, smluv, objednávek či faktur. Velmi často se mezi publikovanými sadami nacházejí informace o evidovaných psech lokalizované až na úroveň adresních bodů. Bohužel je však poskytují buď ve formátu PDF, nebo je formou tabulkových výpisů zobrazují přímo na webových stránkách, čímž znemožňují jakékoliv automatizované využití těchto dat. Světlou výjimkou je Prešov, který jako jediný provozuje OpenData katalog.
Jakýmsi standardem pro města využívající technologie třetí strany se stal POMOSAM - Portál modernej samosprávy společnosti CORA GEO. Jedná se o jednoduchou webovou aplikaci, která zobrazuje tabulková data. Zároveň obsahuje GIS modul, který však využívá pouze několik měst (např. Levice). Konkurenční aplikací je Digitálne mesto společnosti DATALAN, a.s., které využívají Nové Zámky nebo Spišská Nová Ves. Rozšířené jsou také aplikace určené k reportingu - Odkazprestarostu.sk a City Monitor (citymonitor.sk).
Množství publikovaných dat silně závisí na zvoleném řešení. Města, která dosud nepoužívají výše zmíněné aplikace, publikují menší množství dat. Prešov zůstává jediným městem, které poskytuje přístup k datům přes veřejně dostupné API, a umožňuje tak jejich strojové zpracování.
Zatímco tabulková data v různém množství publikují všechna města, prostorová data na svých mapových portálech zobrazuje jen dvanáct z nich. Některá města (Liptovský Mikuláš) nahrazují chybějící mapový portál interaktivní mapou Google Maps, která však neobsahuje žádné tematické vrstvy a neposkytuje občanům oproti portálu Google Maps žádnou přidanou hodnotu.
Města, která mapové portály provozují, na nich nejčastěji zobrazují uliční síť, katastr nemovitostí, případně územní plán. Portály většinou provozují na technologiích CORA GEO. Některá města používají řešení od T-MAPY. V závislosti na technologii pak ke zobrazení dat používají buď standardizované OGC služby, nebo proprietární řešení. Metadata ke zobrazeným datům nejsou k dispozici, pokud navíc portál nevyužívá OGC služby, je v podstatě nemožné se k metadatům, pokud existují, dostat. Žádné z měst nenabízí zdrojová data ke stažení.
Zásadní překážkou v přístupu k datům jsou v mnoha případech nepřehledné webové stránky, na nichž se uživatel lehce ztratí. Bannery ve spodní části stránky považujeme pro tyto účely za nevhodný způsob prezentace. Na druhou stranu většina měst používá rozdělení stránek na čtyři sekce - Město, Občan, Podnikatel, Návštěvník. Díky tomu si může uživatel rychleji osvojit práci se stránkami různých měst. Je potřeba vyzdvihnout, že snad všechna města na svých stránkách rovněž uvádějí, jakým způsobem mohou občané žádat o poskytnutí dat.
Veřejně dostupná tabulková data bohužel (s výjimkou Prešova) publikují ve formátech nevhodných ke strojovému zpracování, navíc bez možnosti stažení. Prostorová data jsou poskytována v rastrových formátech, které lze zobrazovat v jiných aplikacích, sofistikovanější využití však možné není. Data navíc nejsou doplněna metadaty. Stažení zdrojových dat nenabízí žádný mapový portál.
Naprosto tristní je překvapivě situace v Bratislavě. Na stránkách města se podařilo dohledat pouze několik datových sad, publikovaných ve formátu PDF, bez možnosti hledání či filtrace. Mapový portál město nahradilo interaktivním výřezem mapy ze serveru Google Maps.

The pace of deploying Europe’s own satellite navigation system continued to increase with today’s launch of the latest pair of Galileo satellites, doubling the number of satellites in space within nine months.
DiMAP je nově vyvinutá webová aplikace, která byla prvotně nasazená na Správě a údržbě silnic Pardubického kraje (dále SÚS PK), kde slouží pro majetkoprávní přehled silničních pozemků v okrese Pardubice.
Aplikace DiMAP porovnává vlastnictví SÚS PK (parcely dle katastru nemovitostí) a plochu silničního tělesa silnice vč. náspů, příkopů, alejí… (určených z měření mobilním mapovacím systém). Prolnutím těchto dvou ploch se určí části pozemků, které nejsou ve vlastnictví SÚS PK a musí je koupit (červená plocha v obrázku), nadbytečné pozemky či jejich části, které můžou prodat (modrá plocha), a pozemky, které jsou v pořádku (zelená plocha). Výstupem z majetkoprávní části je seznam parcel, které má Pardubický kraj jako zřizovatel SÚS PK vypořádat. Zjistili jsme, že SÚS PK má 75 % výměry silnic ve svém vlastnictví.

Na základě dat v aplikaci je možné vyhodnotit potřebnou výměru pozemků a následnou cenu za výkup, rozsah nových hranic a cenu za geometrické plány. Pomocí těchto a dalších informací si SÚS PK dovede lépe stanovit finanční plán pro budoucí majetkoprávní vypořádání.
Největším přínosem aplikace DiMAP je snadný přehled pozemků SÚS PK nejen s možností vidět co vlastní, ale i to, co by měli vlastnit. Aktuální majetkoprávní stav je možné prohlížet jak v online mapě, tak i v tabulkách, které lze navíc i exportovat do MS Excel.
Webové prostředí umožňuje snadné nasazování nových verzi pro všechny uživatele, automatická aktualizace dat katastru nemovitostí, dostupnost registrovaných uživatelů z kteréhokoli počítače připojeného na internet.
Využití aplikace DiMAP je univerzální a lze ji využít i v jiných odvětvích např. železnice, vodní toky, či inženýrské sítě a jejich vztah k uzavřenosti věcných břemen.
V letošním roce jsme nejenom sbírali plyšáky, ale rovněž jsme se zapojili do podpory dětí s autismem. V rámci akce “Staň se Ježíškem 3” Základní školy Štolcova v Brně, která se věnuje právě autistickým dětem, jsme pořídili několik dárků a ty jsme nadělili těmto dětem. V úterý 14.12.2015 jsme měli možnost se účastnit školní besídky, kde žáci vystoupili a dárky si rozbalili. Pro všechny to byl velký zážitek. Pokud byste se rádi něco dozvěděli o autismu či chtěli školu rovněž podpořit, informace najdete na www.proaut.cz

As a Practicing Road Engineer, Rask Is Able to Share Invaluable Firsthand Knowledge of Advanced Software for Civil Engineering and Transportation with Her Students, Providing a Particularly Engaging Learning Experience
EXTON, Pa., U.S.A. – Bentley Systems, Incorporated, a leading global provider of comprehensive software solutions for advancing infrastructure, today announced that External Associate Professor Marianne Rask of the Technical University of Denmark, Lyngby, is the recipient of its 2015 Educator of the Year Award. The award recognizes a member of the academic community who has an outstanding record of achievements and is committed to inspiring students to pursue careers in the infrastructure professions.
George Church, senior vice president, Bentley CONNECT LEARNservices, said, “External Associate Professor Rask, a seasoned road engineer, began teaching in order to share her knowledge of advanced software for civil engineering and transportation with future generations of engineers. Her passion for the industry she serves as an infrastructure professional is reflected in the infectious enthusiasm she exhibits in her classroom lectures and dialogues with students. At the Technical University, she teaches a number of road-related courses, in both Danish and English, as required, and is the course coordinator for the university’s Railway Design and Maintenance course. In her Geometric Road Design course, she features the use of MicroStation and InRoads, mentoring students with absolutely no CAD experience and getting them to the point – in just three weeks – where they can understand comprehensive road design systems and have a basic working knowledge of geometric highway design. She also mentors thesis students in the use of Bentley’s OpenRoads software for multi-discipline engineering projects, and looks forward to including OpenRoads in her course curriculum in the near future.
“External Associate Professor Rask’s students gain valuable experience with our software – the same used by civil engineering teams around the world. As a result, upon graduation, they typically are in high demand by Danish road design companies. Her advanced and engaging approach to teaching results in her classes generally being filled to capacity, and earned her a presentation slot during the Bentley global user conference in 2012.
“We thank Professor Rask for serving as an inspiration to students in the engineering disciplines and for her dedication to providing them with the practical skills they will need for successful careers in civil engineering and transportation. On behalf of my colleagues at Bentley, I congratulate her on being named 2015 Educator of the Year!”
In describing how her unexpected secondary career as a teacher began, Rask said, “I had been working for a long time as a road designer when I ran into one of my former professors at the Technical University of Denmark. I blamed him for teaching the students the wrong kind of software instead of the applications that we were actually using for road design. That conversation developed into my getting hired as a part-time external associate professor at the university, where I started teaching MicroStation and InRoads as well as geometric road design. I have updated the course every year, but I still make my students work hard – after all, they should be prepared for real life as a civil engineer. It makes me proud when I see some of my former students designing roads and railways.”
Commenting on her award, Rask said, “I thank Bentley for choosing me as its 2015 Educator of the Year, and for providing a range of useful civil engineering solutions for designing roads, bridges, and other transportation infrastructure, as well as for teaching future generations of engineers.”
Rask has taught in the department of transport at the Technical University of Denmark since 2005. Her professional experience includes positions of senior consultant and CAD coordinator at Carl Bro (Sweco) from 1993 to 2007 and road engineer and road safety auditor at Roskilde Municipality from 2007 to 2013. Rask was an early adopter of Bentley software, having served on the civil engineering steering committees and contributing to the development and direction of Bentley’s civil products. During the past year she has implemented the new Danish standard for the digital roadway into PowerCivil for Denmark. Rask has a master’s degree in civil engineering, building, and civil works.

Quebec’s solution features Intergraph Computer-Aided Dispatch (I/CAD), a suite of industry-leading incident management software, including Mobile for Public Safety and Intergraph Mobile Responder, which extend critical applications and information to field personnel on laptops, smartphones and tablets. It also includes Business Intelligence for Public Safety, which enables the agency to mine, monitor, analyze and report on massive amounts of public safety data, and EdgeFrontier, an integration platform for rapid, affordable interface development.
The city created an extensive and detailed system to evaluate competitive responses, and Hexagon was chosen for reasons including its adherence to APCO standards for computer-aided dispatch software and the experience, skills and quality of its implementation team. In order to maximize the opportunities created through the new Hexagon solution, the city will also overhaul its emergency services workflows to identify value-added activities to improve public safety.
“Hexagon’s solutions will help Quebec become more effective and efficient in the management of calls, events and resources,” said Jacques Tremblay, vice president, Canada, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure. “By delivering innovative and upgradeable software, we can help overcome the challenges of Quebec’s legacy, end-of-life system and provide the city with a platform for future growth of its 9-1-1 capabilities.”
The global leader in public safety and security, Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure (formerly Intergraph Security, Government & Infrastructure) helps protect 1 in 12 people worldwide. Hexagon’s public safety and security solutions improve the quality, accuracy and availability of critical information, increasing performance and productivity, while reducing the total cost of ownership for mission-critical IT investments.
The City of Quebec has selected an integrated suite of public safety software from Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure for its 9-1-1 call center, which supports police, fire and disaster relief. The dispatching, mobile and analytics solution will help improve multi-agency operations, enhance field personnel performance and enable Next Gen 9-1-1 capabilities.
Replacing a decades-old dispatch system, the Hexagon solution will expand the 9-1-1 call center’s capabilities through more effective and efficient dispatching of closest and best-available units, better management and scheduling of staff and improved resilience and secure access to operational information anytime, anywhere.
“We required a solution that would deliver more useful, timely and complete information -- available and accessible to all agents in real time,” said Jacques Lachance, City of Quebec 9-1-1 call center director. “Through innovative technologies and best practices, the Hexagon solution will help us serve the needs of the public and enable more flexible operations – including the ability to stand-up temporary public safety answering points during disasters and enable new forms of citizen communication to 9-1-1.”
