SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIES
Make cities inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable
Today, cities represent 3 % of the planet's surface and concentrate more than 50 % of the population. A figure that will rise to 70 % by 2050. In addition, cities generate more than 80 % of the world's gross domestic product (GDP).
In addition to facilitating access to essential services for life - such as energy and water - ACCIONA contributes to making cities places of productive well-being in which to live, favouring people's socio-economic development.
Since 2019, ACCIONA has been providing waste collection, street cleaning and cleanroom management services for the municipality of Paracuellos del Jarama in Madrid.
Aligned with its commitment to sustainability and the reduction of the environmental impact of all its activities, ACCIONA remains faithful to its commitment to the Paracuellos City Council by ensuring that the new machinery acquired by the company to provide these services operates using alternative fuels: compressed natural gas (CNG) or electricity.

Technology and innovation
Fleet management system
The fleet management system keeps an inventory of urban elements and all human and mechanical resources related to the service, enabling adequate planning and general organisation. This allows us to perfectly control all activities carried out in the municipality and helps to provide the correct justification to the responsible administration.
In addition, this system makes it possible to automate the creation of reports and graphs, and to send them to the managers defined by the organisation.
At the Control Centre, the information received is presented to the user through a Geographic Information System (GIS) and together with a series of reports, enables comparison of the studies and facilitates real-time decision-making.
Monitoring the vehicles used to provide these services is one of the major challenges that ACCIONA and its technology partner have responded to, thanks to the Global Location System (GLS). This acquires data from the different systems and sends it to the incident management platform for further development.
Moreover, it should be noted that, thanks to data modelling and the use of ICT solutions in the provision of these services, it is also possible to provide additional services such as the payment-per-generation systems (PxG).
