Abstract:
Nowadays, new technologies assist the capture and analysis of data for all kinds of organizations. A good
example of this trend are the seaports that generate data regarding the management of marine traffic and other
elements, as well as environmental conditions given by meteorological sensors and buoys. However, this
enormous amount of data, also known as “Big Data”, is useless without a proper system to visualize and
organize them. Governments are fully aware of this and promote the creation of visualization and control
systems that are useful to port authorities. In the line of management systems based on GIS, the SmartPort
project has been developed. SmartPort offers a rich-internet application that allows the user to visualize and
manage the different sources of information of a port environment. The “Big Data” management is based on
the FI-WARE tools and architecture, as well as “The Internet of Things” solutions for the data acquisition. At
the same time, the Glob3 Mobile SDK
for the development of map apps will support the 3D visualization of
the port’s scenery and its data sources.
