  "account": "The Town Hall of Pilar de la Horadada has allocated €214,301.45 in 2026 to enhance its video-surveillance and traffic-management system, incorporating artificial intelligence capabilities for analyzing mobility data. The project received €150,000 from the Generalitat Valenciana via its Territorios Innovadores 2026 program. This expansion raises the municipality's total security and monitoring devices to 95, which now includes 66 CCTV cameras, 23 Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) readers, and six people-counting systems.\n\nIn this year's installation phase, the council added 11 ANPR readers, six pedestrian monitoring devices, and four new surveillance cameras. Additionally, a new monitoring room for critical situations has been established, system-storage capacity has been increased, and AI software has been introduced to process images and generate automated reports on urban traffic and movement patterns.\n\nMayor José María Pérez Sánchez stated that the investment aims to bolster public safety and traffic management, enabling the council to respond more swiftly to emergencies and incidents affecting the town. The technology is expected to optimize the use of public resources, with the new control room serving as a central hub for monitoring incidents and coordinating responses.",
