How many e-charging stations does a city need?

Parking spaces and areas play a central role in the strategic planning of the e-charging infrastructure. After all, when a vehicle is being charged, it is parked somewhere - and not necessarily in a public parking area, but mostly in one of the more than 13 million private garages in this country.

Location Intelligence today

At the Esri Conference 2021, everything revolves around the topic of Location Intelligence. Location intelligence is the extension of business intelligence to include the spatial dimension. Location Intelligence not only makes it possible to understand what the customer is doing and why. Above all, Location Intelligence makes it possible to understand where (potential) customers are located, where high potential and high sales opportunities are to be expected, or where optimal poster locations can be used for marketing and sales campaigns that are appropriate for the target group. These are just a few aspects of a wide range of services and applications.

Alternative drive types on the upswing

The sales figures for passenger cars fluctuate. Only one thing is certain: something is happening in terms of drive systems. Sales of cars with alternative drive systems (battery, plug-in, fuel cell, gas, hydrogen) are gradually gaining momentum.

Even though sales of electric cars have more than doubled compared to the same period last year, there is still a long way to go to "complete electromobility".

Back to School: Education data package

So last week it happened again: Students in Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg are also back at school. Traditionally, they are usually the last to return from summer vacation in the southern states. In the far north, as in Schleswig-Holstein, they have already been over since the beginning of August, as if cold north winds were already driving people away from the dunes and beaches again. There, however, the fall vacations are already coming up at the beginning of October. The new start at schools is known as the "Back to School Season," especially in the USA. The sales opportunities are enormous. Accordingly, large-scale marketing campaigns are being designed. The trend has long since spilled over to us.

The survival of urban centers after Corona

This summer, the city centers and pedestrian zones are filling up again. The positive figures seem to be slowly improving further over the summer months. Pedestrian frequencies are important metrics in the real estate industry, especially for retail. Either a specific number of passers-by at a Street segment per unit of time is given or a location quality/quality class is shown, which results from the number of passers-by and possibly other factors.

Consumer and market research in the supermarket

In Cologne-Braunsfeld - in the west of the megacity - there is a new supermarket. Not for everyone, but at least for up to 3,000 customers who apply in advance and are selected. The store is called Go2market and it is a test market for consumer and market research for the introduction of new products. Using a lot of technology - including artificial intelligence, of course - the analytics are as sophisticated as today's online stores. If it were a normal supermarket, how would the environment be described?
