Use cases

What is a use case

In The Hague, various use cases take place, including the Living Lab Scheveningen. A use case is a test in the field of digitization and innovation. These use cases are carried out by the Expertise Center for Digital Innovation & Smart City of the municipality of The Hague, aiming to learn and innovate together for a smart and sustainable future for The Hague and South Holland.

Registratiesysteem Scheveningse Haven

With the Scheveningen Harbor Registration System (RSH), an innovative system is developed to detect, recognize, and register vessels entering and leaving. This uses an intelligent video management analysis system powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Crowd Safety Manager

The Crowd Safety Manager is a 3D map that provides insight into how busy it is in Scheveningen by cleverly combining various anonymous data sources. The map shows traffic data, such as traffic counts, public transport data and the occupation of parking garages. Anonymous location data of visitors is also shown.

Energy Justice

Can a sustainable transition to clean energy be made that also benefits low-income households? With a fair plan without fixed subsidies, where the right to energy, local management, and a fair share of the benefits are central?

Dynamisch informatiebord

How can beach visitors be informed quickly, clearly, and simply about risks on the beach and in the sea, so they stay more alert, stay safe, and accidents or dangerous situations are avoided as much as possible?

Edumersive – Interactieve Augmented Reality App

Through an Augmented Reality (AR) app, various activities within the Living Lab Scheveningen are made visible in a playful and interactive way, and users of the application are actively made to think about the opportunities and limits of digitization in the city.

Smart Beach Grid

Local sustainable energy production is growing rapidly and driving the energy transition forward. At the same time, the one-way electricity grid is becoming overloaded, making new connections difficult. This hinders further sustainability efforts. Smart energy management is needed to make better use of the grid.

Smart Waste Bin

Waste management in large cities has long been a major challenge. This use case explores how smart self-compacting bins can make waste management more efficient and sustainable, helping to reduce litter, prevent overflowing bins, and ultimately create a cleaner boulevard.

The Wave

The Wave is a smart light pole printed from beach sand that can respond to athletes with hundreds of lights. This digital solution encourages people to exercise and provides appropriate lighting that offers a sense of safety, making it valuable for a city.

Druktemetingen

Scheveningen, bekend als de drukste badplaats van Nederland, wordt elk jaar bezocht door een groot aantal toeristen en dagjesmensen. Gezien deze aanhoudende drukte, is het van cruciaal belang voor de gemeente om effectieve methoden te ontwikkelen en in te zetten voor het privacy vriendelijke beheer van mensenmassa’s.

Circulaire Zonnepanelen voor het Slimme Energienet

Duurzame energie wordt steeds belangrijker. Sommige zonnepanelen bevatten nog schadelijke stoffen. Nieuwe proeven tonen aan dat het ook anders kan, met herbruikbare en schone materialen. Maar hoe maken we zulke oplossingen straks voor iedereen bereikbaar?

Drone Detection

The municipality, together with the police, has started a drone detection trial to understand the drones flying over The Hague. The system picks up the radio signals used to control the drones, showing where they are flying. The identity of the drone operator is not visible.

Government Sensor Communication Guidelines

Steeds meer sensoren verzamelen data in de openbare ruimte. Maar hoe zorgen we ervoor dat inwoners precies weten wat er wordt gemeten en waarom? De gemeente Den Haag werkte mee aan een landelijke richtlijn om hier duidelijkheid over te geven.

Bezoekerstellingen bij tentoonstellingen in het Stadhuis

The municipality, together with the Atrium City Hall Foundation, is exploring how to measure the number of visitors in a privacy-friendly way and within the Atrium's house rules. They also aim to find out which parts of the exhibition are most viewed and how visitors rate the exhibition(s).
