Want to know what street the Parade is on at the moment?  
Want to know what time popular games or that concert you want to attend start?  
You are arriving at Tomar and want to know which of the 20 car parks is free to park your car and enjoy the Fest?
All this and much more will be possible in the 2015 Edition of the Festa dos Tabuleiros via your mobile phone.
The application is called "Smarter Fest" and was developed by students of the post-graduation in Business Intelligence of the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar, in partnership with SoftINSA, an IBM-owned firm, and the municipality of Tomar. Together, they decided to find an innovative technological solution in response to the huge influx of visitors during the Festa dos Tabuleiros, which this year takes place from 4 to 13 July.
The result is a trademark registered by the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar that will allow the combination of tradition and innovation in this festivity. In technological terms, the product is supported by IBM Intelligent Operations Center (IOC) and IBM Bluemix platforms.
The app for visitors is available for iOS and Android, in Apple Store and Google Play, respectively, and allows to view the schedule of events, the location and car park occupancy and location of the Parade in real-time.
In addition to the features for visitors, the "Smarter Fest" also has an important operational feature for the security and civil protection authorities.  PSP, GNR, Fire Department and Civil Protection will be able to upload and receive, on a common platform, records of all typical occurrences of the Fest such as traffic jams, incidents or accidents and car-park overcrowding, to help managing the traffic, among other relevant information.  


All this information will be useful, not only for monitoring and decision-making during this year's Festa dos Tabuleiros, but also for operational planning and management of future events in Tomar.
