SolutionAI decision support for a city

AI Smart City Decision Assistant, Pattaya seen as one system.

A concept for an AI command and decision-support layer across the municipal hospital, city operations and the environment. It reads the city's data, spots what needs attention and drafts the next step for an official to approve.

The city

One city government, a bay, an island and two populations to serve.

Pattaya runs its own hospital, roads, drainage, waste collection, beaches and back office. Each service keeps its own records. The AI opportunity is to read across them, so officials see one picture and act earlier.

Special administrative city

Self-governing under the Pattaya City Administration Act B.E. 2542 (1999). Bangkok is the only other city in Thailand with this status.

Bay, beaches and an island

City limits run from Naklua through Pattaya Bay to Jomtien, and include Koh Larn offshore.

Residents and visitors

Hospital beds, bins and roads are planned for residents but also used by large numbers of visitors, and demand shifts with the season.

Rainy-season pressure

Heavy rain from roughly May to October brings flash flooding on low-lying roads and extra load on drainage crews.

General public information. Figures and baselines will come from Pattaya City departments during discovery.

What is the current issue?

Five focus areas, one shared problem: data that doesn't reach the decision.

The issues listed under each area are working hypotheses to test with the departments that own them, not findings.

Municipal hospital

  • Crowded outpatient departments: how urgent a case looks depends on who sees the patient first.
  • A large part of every visit goes to notes, codes and prescriptions instead of the patient.
  • Heart failure, COPD and diabetes patients go home and get worse unseen, and nurses cannot phone everyone.

AI opportunity. Red-flag checks at arrival, a consult note the doctor edits and signs, and AI follow-up of patients at home with alerts to the right person.

See the hospital copilot screen

City digital twin

  • Roads, drainage, assets, events and permits sit in separate departments and formats.
  • Flash flooding after heavy rain is handled when it happens rather than before.
  • Big events bring traffic congestion and crowd-safety risks, with little way to test “what if” in advance.

AI opportunity. One live map of the city with what-if scenarios for flooding, traffic congestion and crowd safety.

See the twin scenario

Stray dog management

  • Reports arrive by phone, social media and walk-in, with no shared register.
  • Hard to know which dogs are sterilised or vaccinated, or where bite risk is rising.
  • Catch, neuter, vaccinate and return (CNVR) teams plan their routes by hand.

AI opportunity. Photo reports matched to a dog registry, hotspot maps and planned CNVR rounds.

See the stray dog screen

Internal operations

  • Official letters and memos are drafted, routed and tracked by hand.
  • Citizen requests land in many channels, and nobody sees which ones are about to go overdue.
  • Monthly and annual reports are compiled by hand from many spreadsheets.

AI opportunity. A Thai-language document assistant, request triage and routing, and reports that draft themselves.

See the document assistant

Go Green

  • Waste volumes jump with visitor numbers while collection routes stay fixed.
  • Island logistics on Koh Larn add cost and complexity to every service.
  • Water quality, energy and carbon figures are checked periodically and reported by hand.

AI opportunity. Waste forecasts with re-planned routes, water-quality alerts and an AI-drafted monthly sustainability report.

See the Go Green screen

How can AI help?

AI-driven workflows that end with an official's decision.

Each workflow starts from something that already happens in the city: a report, a forecast, a memo. Models do the numbers, an AI agent joins the pieces and drafts the action, and a named official approves it.

From a photo to a closed case

A resident report becomes a matched, prioritised case and a planned CNVR visit.

  1. 1 Resident

    Photo report on LINE

    A resident sends a photo and location to the city account, in Thai or English.

  2. 2 AI model

    Vision match

    The model finds each dog, checks ear notches and collars, and matches it to the registry.

  3. 3 AI agent

    Merge and prioritise

    Duplicate reports are merged; bite history and nearby schools set the priority.

  4. 4 Officer

    Approve the visit

    The officer reviews the case card and approves a CNVR or vaccination visit.

  5. 5 Outcome

    Closed and counted

    The team gets its route, the resident gets updates, and coverage maps refresh.

Tools the AI agent calls

  • detect_dogs(photo)
  • match_registry(dog)
  • nearby_reports(300 m)
  • plan_cnvr_round(cases)

Illustrative function names for a pilot design.

Today

Calls and messages are logged by hand. Nobody can tell which dogs are already sterilised, so teams revisit the same dogs.

With AI

Every report is geotagged and matched. Teams go where unsterilised dogs and bite risk actually are.

The intelligence layer

One platform under all five use cases.

The use cases share one data layer and one set of AI services, so each new use case reuses what is already built. Data flows up; approvals and audit wrap every step.

  1. City data sources

    Existing systems, connected not replaced

  4. What people use

    Each role sees its own view

    • Command centre
    • Department workspaces
    • Field officer app
    • Citizen assistant on LINE
    • Executive briefing

What would the user see?

The city command centre.

The opening screen is a briefing, not an empty dashboard: what changed overnight, what is at risk and what to do next. Ask a question in Thai or English, and the answer comes back as tables, maps and drafted actions.

  • Click a suggested question
  • Toggle map layers or focus an area
  • Approve or edit an action
  • Hover the forecast

Built for a city government

Trust, data and what we still need to learn.

A public body will ask who decided, on what evidence and where the data lives. The design answers that from day one, and the list on the right is what we need from Pattaya City before a pilot.

The AI drafts, officials decide

Dispatching crews, spending money or messaging the public always waits for a named official's approval.

Every answer shows its sources

Numbers link back to the record, sensor or document they came from. Forecasts show their range, not just one figure.

PDPA by design

Personal data is minimised and access is role-based, in line with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562.

Full audit trail

Who asked what, which data was used, what the AI suggested and who approved it, all kept on record.

Thai first

Reads and drafts Thai official documents, and serves visitors in English, Russian, Chinese and more.

Hosted in Thailand

Runs on city servers or a Thai cloud. The AI model sits behind one adapter, so it can be swapped for an in-country model.

What we set up with Pattaya City first

The data and decisions that shape the pilot.

Data

  • ER arrivals, bed census and staff roster
  • Citizen request channels and current tracking tool
  • Dog registry, CNVR records and bite reports
  • Road, drainage and asset GIS layers
  • Waste routes, truck logs and tonnage
  • ThaiWater, GISTDA and data.go.th access terms

Decisions

  • Which department sponsors the pilot
  • Traffic, public safety and budget monitoring in scope
  • Systems we must integrate with
  • Hosting and security requirements
  • Procurement path and timeline
