The Smart Gafsa project will be operational by the end of 2017, said Friday Abdelbari Ben Yakouta, university teacher at the Faculty of Sciences of Gafsa and president of the local association for scientific research. In a statement given to the correspondent of Jawhara FM on the sidelines of the launch of the work of the IEEE international conference devoted to the Internet of Things (IoT), the academic gave more details on the project under study since the month of May. The Smart Gafsa project is developed by the association of scientific research, in collaboration with the governorate of Gafsa and the local authorities and will take the form of a pilot avenue, he said. Smart bins capable of sorting through garbage will be installed, for example. The smart city project in Gafsa will also see the installation of cameras and will include parking lots, crossroads and giant connected screens.
