Safety and environmental challenges in Massy

Like many local authorities, the city of Massy (Essonne, France) faces complex challenges related to urban security and environmental management.

Every day, authorities have to deal with a growing volume of data from video protection cameras, environmental sensors and reporting tools. As a result, decision-making becomes more difficult, especially in a context of limited financial and human resources.


Traffic, safety and sustainability: daily priorities

Key challenges include

  • Efficiently monitoring road traffic

  • Preventing public safety incidents

  • Managing environmental resources sustainably

These issues are crucial to guaranteeing residents' safety, preserving their quality of life and meeting their growing expectations.


CORE, an innovative solution to transform the city

To meet these challenges, Massy has chosen to integrate the CORE platform, developed by XXII. This computer vision technology uses artificial intelligence to analyze in real time the traffic flows captured by the city's cameras.

The aim? To deliver relevant, instantly usable information to guide field teams in their actions.


Greater responsiveness, less time wasted

One of the main benefits of CORE is the reduction in processing times. No need to spend hours searching for information: the platform automatically retrieves useful data, enabling rapid intervention in the event of an anomaly.

A real revolution for operators and local decision-makers.


Use case: monitoring and preventing traffic offences

In Massy, one of the most concrete use cases is the automated detection of traffic offences:

  • Prohibited parking

  • One-way traffic

  • Running red lights

Thanks to CORE, the city can monitor these behaviors in real time and take targeted action. The data collected can also be used to better understand high-risk areas, adjust traffic lights or reinforce signage if necessary.


Intelligent, economical street lighting

Another key application is theoptimization of street lighting. By analyzing street traffic, CORE identifies areas where lighting can be reduced or intensified according to the number of people passing through.

This intelligent control makes it possible to:

  • Reduce energy consumption

  • Adapt lighting intensity to actual use

  • Enhance safety without unnecessary over-lighting

An economic and ecological gain.


Proactive waste management

The CORE platform also enables Massy to better manage its urban waste:

  • Detection of illegal dumping

  • Optimization of collection rounds

  • Monitoring of high-accumulation areas

Thanks to computer vision, the city can anticipate needs, adapt its resources and improve the cleanliness of public spaces, while reducing logistics costs.


Towards an ever more intelligent city

The integration of CORE represents a key step in Massy's digital transformation. The city now plans to extend the platform to other uses:

  • Intelligent management of traffic lights

  • Optimization of the public transport network

  • Anticipation of population flows

By listening to the needs of its residents, Massy is gradually building a smoother, safer and more sustainable city.


In conclusion

Thanks to the CORE platform, Massy shows how computer vision can provide concrete solutions to modern urban challenges.

Safety, energy efficiency, cleanliness and responsiveness are just some of the benefits that can already be measured, paving the way for intelligent, humane management of tomorrow's cities.
