Maintenance of green areas and lighting
Trees and street lamps come from open data and are linked to interventions: whoever works in the field sees what has been done and what is missing.
The territory becomes a data layer.
Maps, open data and import flows come together in a multi-tenant GIS designed for public bodies: each administration sees and governs only its own data. Flows of people are read only in aggregate form.
Territory: maps and flows for public bodies.
A multi-tenant GIS for administrations and utility companies: cartography, open data and sensor data in a single queryable layer.
Streets, buildings and networks in separate layers: each organization sees and governs only its own data.
Trees, lighting and other open datasets are imported and linked to the map.
A virtual gate counts how many people pass and in which direction, without tracking anyone.
From past counts, the platform estimates what will happen in the coming hours.
Why it matters.
Municipalities, utilities and regional agencies hold a lot of data, such as land registry, networks, roads, green areas and presence, but scattered across archives that do not talk to each other. Putting it on the same map lets you answer concrete questions: where to intervene, how much traffic there is, what will happen.
Nebula keeps each organization's data separate and makes it queryable from a single interface. People flows are read only in aggregated form: counts per gate and per time slot, never individual paths.
How it works, layer by layer.
From source to dashboard, in five layers.
- Sources
- Cartography, open data, sensors and technical-office files come in through scheduled imports.
- Integration
- ETL flows clean the data, align the reference systems and link it to the same objects on the map.
- Layers
- Roads, buildings, networks and green areas are separate layers, which each organization activates and governs on its own.
- Analysis
- Aggregated counts, heat maps and forecasts on time series answer operational questions.
- Access
- Dashboards in the browser, export in open formats and web services for those who want to reuse the data.
The territory as a service.
Nebula's GIS is multi-tenant: maps, open datasets and sensors live together in a single layer, and each administration governs it independently.
- GIS for public bodies
- Cartography in separate layers: each organization sees and governs only its own data.
- Open data
- Import and linking of open datasets to the map.
- Data integration
- ETL flows from external sources, into a single queryable layer.
- Flows and presence
- Aggregated counts: how many people, in which direction, at what time.
- Forecasts
- Estimates on time series, to plan attendance and services.
Use cases.
Presence in a historic centre
Virtual gates count passage by hour and direction, in aggregated form, to plan services and events.
Utility networks
Water mains, lighting or district heating become layers of the same map, with fault history and forecasts.
Data, integrations and standards.
We work with standard geographic formats and with open data portals. Data is modelled on PostGIS, exposed through web services and can be linked to the organization's information systems.
Privacy, security and compliance.
- Aggregation
- People flows are counted per gate and per time slot: no identities or individual paths are recorded.
- Separation per organization
- Each administration has a dedicated database schema and sees only its own data, even when using the same platform.
- Open licences
- Imported open data keeps its original licence and source, shown next to the layer.
How to start.
- 01
Analysis and scope
We take stock of the available data, the sources and the questions the organization wants to answer.
- 02
Pilot on a real case
We load a few layers, for example green areas and lighting, and verify quality and freshness.
- 03
Extension
We add networks, sensors and flows, and connect the dashboards to the offices that use them.
- 04
Operation and support
Scheduled imports, quality checks and support for operators.
Words worth knowing.
- GIS
- Geographic information system: collects, links and displays data tied to a position on the map.
- Open data
- Public data released under a licence that allows reuse.
- ETL
- Extract, transform, load: the flow that brings data from a source into the system, cleaning it along the way.
- Virtual gate
- A line on a map or image that counts how many people cross it and in which direction, without recognizing them.
Frequently asked questions.
Can we use the data the organization already has?
Yes: we import existing geographic files and tables, align them and link them to the map without replacing the systems in use.
Is citizens' data safe?
Flows are aggregated and each organization sees only its own data. Personal information, when needed, is handled in compliance with the GDPR and limited to the stated purpose.
Do we need a proprietary GIS?
No: we use open-source components and open formats, so data stays portable and there is no dependence on a single supplier.
