A GIS-powered analytics platform that maps mobility flows, enabling more innovative transportation planning, route optimization, and sustainable urban design.
In the modern city, mobility is the circulating bloodstream of urban life. Commuters, goods, shared vehicles and transit systems traverse networks that grow ever more complex by the day. With increasing pressure on infrastructure, evolving regulations, and the rise of multimodal transport, municipalities and transportation authorities must navigate data-rich but fragmented realities: ride-share logs, transit smart-card data, bike-share usage, traffic sensors, and pedestrian flows. In such an environment, simply collecting data is not enough — what matters is turning it into actionable insight.
At Deep Kernel Labs we hold firm to the principle: Data + AI = Value, and in the context of urban mobility this means transforming mobility flows into structured intelligence, enabling smarter infrastructure and sustainable urban design.
Urban transportation planning today faces two intertwined challenges. On one hand, mobility flows are increasingly dynamic and multimodal — private vehicles, buses, bikes, walking, scooters, logistics fleets — each generating its own data footprint. On the other hand, the data landscape is deeply fragmented: trip records may be incomplete, modes may not interoperate, temporal and spatial granularity vary, and demand patterns shift with social, environmental and economic variables. Traditional planning tools struggle to reconcile such diversity and complexity. The result: uncertain forecasts, inefficient routing, under-utilised infrastructure and sustainability targets that slip out of reach. The real challenge is not only to aggregate data, but to orchestrate it — creating a unified analytical foundation capable of modelling and optimizing mobility across modes, time, and geography.
Deep Kernel Labs’ approach begins with a data-centric design: building a GIS-powered analytical framework that incorporates data engineering, AI modelling, and scenario simulation. We start by ingesting heterogeneous mobility data — transit smart-card logs, ride-hail trips, bike-share data, traffic sensors, spatial networks, demographic indicators — into a unified geospatial data model. Each data source is normalized, tagged, and incorporated under consistent spatiotemporal schemas, ensuring traceability and interoperability.
Once this foundation is in place, we layer advanced analytics: predictive models forecast demand flows by time-of-day, mode, and location; anomaly detection highlights unanticipated shifts in usage; simulation modules enable “what-if” scenario analysis of infrastructure changes, policy interventions or mode shifts. This approach reframes the problem: not as static planning based on last year’s data, but as continuous intelligence that supports decision-making in a mobile, evolving city.
The Smart Data for Urban Mobility platform operates as a central intelligence hub for cities and mobility operators. It visualises real mobility flows on maps and dashboards, forecasts demand and usage across modes, supports interactive scenario modelling and enables planners to evaluate design options before committing infrastructure investment. Imagine a map populated with live flows of bikes, buses and scooters, heat-maps of origin-destination demand, curves of predictive uptake for new mobility services, and simulation sliders for policy levers such as pricing, lane-allocation or mode-shift incentives.
Support tools enable routing optimization, capacity planning and sustainable transportation strategy. The platform’s GIS core allows layering of urban infrastructure, population density, land-use data and mobility flows — giving planners insight into the interplay between city design and mobility demand. The architecture is modular and scalable: it can integrate new data sources (e.g., connected-vehicle telemetry, IoT sensors), link to existing urban planning systems and operate across regions or cities. In this way, Smart Data for Urban Mobility shifts mobility planning from post-hoc reporting to proactive modelling and adaptive strategy.
From fragmented data to seamless flows: Smart Data for Urban Mobility transforms scattered mobility signals into coherent, actionable intelligence for cities and operators.
From reactive planning to proactive simulation: Predictive and scenario-based analytics enable mobility stakeholders to anticipate demand changes and design for the future rather than simply respond.
From data to urban value: By embodying the principle Data + AI = Value, the platform turns complex urban mobility systems into strategic assets — supporting smarter, more sustainable and resilient cities.
From data to model, from model to decision: modernizing how power systems are simulated and planned.
