He added: Our intention was not that in this conference the FAVA organization is only supposed to perform, but that all the managers of smart cities in the country are supposed to come and express their opinions and ideas.

The CEO of Fawa of Tehran Municipality said: We will have a series of new innovations in the area of ​​Tehran’s system, and a series of new services will be added to this system so that things can be implemented more intelligently. Farjoud clarified: For example, today you can buy a metro ticket from the Tehran Man system and pass through the metro gates without the need to print a ticket and just with the provided two-dimensional barcode.

He continued: Another innovation of the My Tehran system is the issue of registering urban problems, which no longer requires contacting the 137 system, and you can register problems by simply logging into the My Tehran system and even add photos, videos, and locations. .

In response to a question about innovative areas and their activity status, Farjoud continued: In Tehran, we have several plans for the development of innovation, one of which is the issue of innovative areas. He added: One of these areas is located in District 6 of Tehran because there are many universities in this area and innovative areas can be created on their outskirts.

CEO of Fawa of Tehran Municipality said: Of course, it is not enough only for this area, and we have plans in areas 2, 4 and 14, and efforts are being made to spread the areas throughout the city. Farjoud noted: We have had good cooperation with other organizations in the field of information exchange, and even today we have a good relationship with the Scientific Vice President and the Ministry of Communications.

Farjoud said: This multifaceted issue cannot be resolved with just one program and one plan. For example, in the field of traffic in Tehran, we should turn to urban zoning and many other tasks. He clarified: Today, we have uploaded the city traffic map in my Tehran system in real time, so that people know which route is better to use before leaving with their car.

The CEO of Fawa of Tehran Municipality continued: Another issue that should be paid attention to in the discussion of traffic and smart city is that we should take a step in the direction of reducing the amount of people’s trips. Farjoud added: “Traffic can be solved with a smart city, but on the condition that we step in the direction of reducing people’s traffic.” It means that people don’t need to travel in the city to do personal work and can solve their problems from home or work.

Regarding what measures have been taken so that there would be no problem with the use of city applications when the internet is down, he said: “We have had the applications of Tehran municipality active during all these days when the global internet was down, and from now on they will be active in these times as well.” Was.

The CEO of Tehran Municipality’s Information Technology Organization, regarding the amount of budget for this conference, said: “There is no specific cost for this conference, and efforts have been made to organize this conference with the cooperation of the private sector, so as not to put a large financial burden on Municipality should not be imposed.

Farjoud continued: We do not intend to create a parallel work with 137 by creating some services in the system of Tehran Man, but our intention is to make accesses and solving problems easy. He added: In the field of transparency system, we also accept some of its problems, but that system is more of a dashboard to present a series of data.

Fawa CEO of Tehran Municipality, especially when it comes to Tehran being smart and you say that work should be done based on data analysis, while today this work is not done and we have seen today that even the municipal information about the correct implementation of the new traffic plan and its impact It is not up-to-date on air pollution, what is your plan for this issue? He said: It is true that traffic and pollution are related, but they are two independent issues.

Farjoud clarified: The groups that are working in Fawa must provide the data that is needed for the analysis, and whether all these data are sufficient or not, the traffic transportation vice-chancellor must give an opinion. He continued: Before 2017, you only had three modes: when to enter and when to leave, and how much is in the plan, while today, the way to calculate traffic tolls is calculated for more than 8 models.
