What product or which service does your startup provide?

City Analytics provides a privacy-first crowd management decision-support package that allows you to scrape open data (e.g. NDOV, NDW, Twitter) and your proprietary sensor data (e.g. smart cameras, Bluetooth/Wi-Fi sensors, GPS traces) featuring crowd movements. This allows users to analyze data streams together and visualize the results in one user-friendly dashboard environment. The City Analytics Monitoring Platform is hardware-independent, cloud-based, GDPR-proof, and customizable to your needs. As a result, you always have the most up-to-date information pertaining to the crowds movements at your fingertips and historic analyses allow you to evaluate your operation and designs objectively.

Who are the products or services intended for?
The City Analytics Crowd Monitoring package is designed for public or private parties that need to manage crowd movements. Whether these crowds arise in shopping streets, touristic venues, transport hubs, or event locations, this package allows you to smoothly evaluate the crowds’ movements and make informed decisions. The package has been designed in collaboration with event managers, police officers and traffic engineers and the interfaces are shaped to their needs and wishes. Consequently, special investigating officers (BOAs), urban planners and crowd managers alike can use this package to their advantage with very little additional training.

Which problem does your startup solve exactly?
Most contemporary solutions for data-driven crowd management decision-support are specifically designed for one client and one type of crowd sensing equipment. The specialist solutions often result in high development and deployment costs, incur large vendor lock-in effects, and often require crowd managers to manually collect their insights from multiple parallel data platforms. Our solution differs in two ways. Firstly, the City Analytics Monitoring Platform is hardware-independent – you determine the sensor operators and (legacy) sensor types you work with. Secondly, the platform integrates all analyses results of all sensors in one web-based environment that can be accessed from everywhere.
