We positively shape the future of
cities and regions by leveraging
urban data
Our Mission
Create the technical and
organisational basis for simple and
effective data use
Reality
Coming together in a Community,

Creating synergies
Independent data infrastructure
à Freedom of choice for
municipalities and platform syngeries
• Expensive, single solutions in silos
• No synergies between cities
• Cheaper solutions
• Solutions that scale
• Municipal flexibility of design

8. Management of Sharing-Mobility providers
City of Cologne
Sensors at sharing-
vehicles
Real-time data from
NextBike
Until now, cities have had few possibilities to coordinate sharing offers from different providers - and
that is why they should be centrally recorded in Cologne. We are therefore presenting the locations
of e-trolleys and e-bikes of the Cologne public transport company (KVB) and Next Bike in a
dashboard. It visualises which vehicles have been parked unused for a long time and where there is
greater demand due to events, at public transport stops or other points of interest.
Data Sources
Impact
Event information Geodata (PoI, PT)
Benefits for citizens
E-scooters and sharing bikes no longer block pavements - and are
there where citizens need them: whether at a concert, a football
match, a tourist attraction or for the last mile after using public
transport.
Challenge & Solution
Possibility to adapt rules dynamically to situations
Reduction of unnecessary vehicles and corresponding costs
Optimised coordination of sharing vehicles
Increasing the efficiency and attractiveness of public transport
