Geodashboards support informed decision making by visualizing complex geodata from the Digital Twin Munich.

Geodashboards are an interactive tool for visualizing complex geodata in an understandable way. As a common component of business intelligence, dashboards are used to support decision-making. By integrating and displaying data from different sources in a standardized interface, geodashboards enable a comprehensive, spatial analysis of a specific topic from different perspectives. They offer in-depth insights and facilitate the understanding of spatial relationships, which is particularly valuable in projects such as the Digital Twin Munich. One example is the dashboard for the planning and the use of charging stations for electric vehicles, which provides a visual representation of data from a variety of sources, including "e-clearing.net." Another example is the "TreeSense" dashboard, which employs sensors to provide real-time insights into the condition of trees. These dashboards utilize the city map of Munich and a variety of diagrams to integrate geographical and technical data with sensor measurements, providing a clear presentation that enables informed decision-making.

Contribution to the digitalization of municipal transport systems

The flexibility and customizability of dashboards allow planners to access relevant information and make informed decisions. Moreover, they improve the collaboration between different departments and organizations by providing a common basis for decision making. The e-charging station dashboard demonstrates how dashboards can contribute to effective and efficient planning in public spaces. In this case, the goal is to promote e-mobility infrastructure and support sustainable mobility in the city of Munich.

Contribution to air pollution control / clean air in the City of Munich

The use of dashboards such as "TreeSense" is an important contribution to air pollution control and the establishment of clean air in the cityof Munich. Trees play a pivotal role in enhancing air quality in urban areas by acting as natural filters, absorbing pollutants, and producing oxygen. Through targeted maintenance and preservation of tree populations, cities like Munich can improve the air quality and therefore protect the health of their residents.  Additionally, the project on the planning and the use of charging stations for electric vehicles demonstrates how dashboards can promote the use of electric vehicles and support sustainable mobility in urban areas.  

Perspective of the action

An appropriate infrastructure for data storage, processing, and presentation was established for the transfer of sensor data, ensuring long-term support for the Digital Twin Munich and other related projects. The implementation of standardized processes for data preparation and integration (ETL processes) enables the rapid and flexible connection of new data sources and their display on geodashboards.
