The Calvià City Council has activated a system that provides information on the influx at six beaches in the municipality, such as Peguera, Palmanova, Magaluf, and Santa Ponça. The data, updated every ten minutes, can be consulted on the municipal website. An initiative so that bathers and residents can know the state of the coast before leaving home.
DTI Technology to Measure Bather Density 🏖️
The monitoring is supported by the Calvià Smart Tourist Destination (DTI) Project, which uses sensors and data analysis to calculate occupancy in real time. Every ten minutes, the system updates the information on the city council's website, allowing users to plan their visit and avoid crowds. A tool that seeks to improve coastal management and the tourist experience, based on technology applied to the urban and coastal environment.
The towel no longer marks territory, an algorithm does it 🤖
Now, instead of fighting for a patch of sand at nine in the morning, we can check from our mobile if the beach is packed. That said, the system won't warn you if the neighbor with the giant umbrella splashes you or if the beach bar has raised the price of beer. But hey, at least you'll know if it's time to get up early or stay at the hotel pool.
