Urban & Smart City Data Platform
Cities and urban operators process sensor streams, traffic systems, environmental monitors, and cross-departmental process data from dozens of heterogeneous sources — IoT devices, municipal databases, proprietary vendor systems, and third-party feeds. Our Urban Data Platform integrates these into a single modular data hub that operates independently of any specific vendor, creates no new dependencies, and prevents data silos through strict schema modelling.
Built on Eclipse sensiNact (IoT broker), Eclipse Daanse (OLAP/BI layer), and our Model Atlas, the platform handles bitemporal versioning and privacy-by-design from the foundation. It scales from edge-level sensor processing to city-wide analytical reporting.
Key capabilities
- Protocol-agnostic IoT integration — LoRa, MQTT, NGSI, CoAP, HTTP, WebSocket, and many more; new protocols can be added at runtime without service interruption
- No-code sensor dashboard — plug-and-play device onboarding and configurable visualisation
- Bitemporal data versioning and privacy-by-design — built in from the ground up, not added as an afterthought
- Open data support — DCAT registries for data spaces and municipal data sharing; interoperability aligned to DIN SPEC 91377
- Modular extensibility — dashboards, document services, and additional data connectors can be added without restructuring the core
Typical use cases
- Environmental sensor networks (air quality, soil moisture, temperature)
- Smart traffic monitoring, signal system integration, and real-time conflict detection
- Cross-departmental urban data integration and open data portals
- Smart city data spaces with federated access control
In practice
Data In Motion’s urban data technology runs in production in Jena and several other cities. Live demos — including a no-code environmental sensor dashboard and a real-time traffic conflict detection system — are available on the Development overview page.
