The idea of the Smart City, which was once a purely futuristic concept, was used in the genre of science fiction, is now being successfully implemented in cities around the world. And some countries seek to go beyond the decisions at the cities level and plan a passage to a full-fledged The Smart Country concept, suggesting that governments will be able to carry out sustainable planning, development methods and steps that can benefit both urban and rural areas on the basis of the obtained data, giving the “smart village” the same meaning as the “smart city” .
One of these countries is Azerbaijan, whose leader Ilham Aliyev is building partnerships to create intellectual solutions of digital infrastructure necessary for success. One of the most important parts of the digital foundation of the Smart Country concept is accurate geospatial data.
EKM Global Consulting GmbH, headed by director Elshan Musaev (currently Musaev operates in the company as an expert consultant for 3D mobile cartography and technology Smart City/Smart Grid – ed.), was the first to collect these data through Mobile 3D cartography using Leica Pegasus: Two Ultimate.
Working with the National Energy operator, Azerishyg OJSC, EKM Global used the collected data to create a digital double of the mains throughout the country, which made it possible to classify and catalog all assets, carry out development planning and accelerate the provision of services.
However, Musaev went beyond a separate project and focused on creating a -oriented database for Azerbaijan and other countries.
