Urbanist
Research project with the City of Osnabrück that aims to motivate citizens to adopt more sustainable mobility behavior through a gamified mobile application and environment-aware routing.
Understanding the Problem
The project addressed the challenge of enabling measurable and sustainable mobility decisions in everyday urban travel. While awareness of environmental impact exists, users lacked reliable, real-time guidance that translated complex environmental, traffic, and mobility data into actionable routing choices. The client needed to integrate heterogeneous sensor and mobility data sources into a privacy-aware platform capable of evaluating routes based on environmental impact and operational conditions, while remaining usable and trustworthy for daily adoption within a real city environment.
The Solution
As a project partner, we designed, built, operated, and continuously evolved a platform that connects OpenStreetMap/GIS-based routing with real-time urban sensor data and model-driven environmental evaluation (e.g., CO₂, particulate matter). During the project we migrated the complete system landscape from AWS to an on-prem Kubernetes environment, ensuring long-term operability and independence from cloud-specific services.
The Value We Delivered
Building a Data Platform With Sensors or GIS?
Let’s operationalize real-time data and models with a stable platform—ingestion, validation, observability, and long-term operability.
