statistical analysis geospatial datasets geospatial databases data analysis urban planning land use data collection solar energy systems installation analytics big data analytics- To develop a methodology for determining optimal infrastructure locations by fusing various data types and sources, including road infrastructure, urban extension, population data, and habitation locations, climate data, and more.
- To create a flexible, sector-agnostic approach that can be applied across industries such as infrastructure development, solar energy, and urban planning.
Sprint 1: Data Collection and Integration (Urban Planning Focus)
- Task 1: Collect geospatial datasets relevant to urban planning (e.g., road networks, urban boundaries, population distribution).
- Task 2: Integrate these datasets into a single platform for further analysis.
- Deliverable: A unified geospatial dataset prepared for urban planning analysis.
Sprint 2: Location Optimization Model
- Task 1: Develop an optimization model using geospatial data to identify potential areas for urban development.
- Task 2: Test the model in a selected urban region, adjusting parameters based on urban planning criteria (e.g., proximity to infrastructure, population density).
- Deliverable: A location optimization model tailored to urban planning.
Sprint 3: Case Study Application
- Task 1: Apply the model to identify optimal project locations for urban development within the selected region.
- Task 2: Validate the model by comparing it with existing urban planning strategies.
- Deliverable: A case study report demonstrating the model’s effectiveness in identifying optimal urban development sites.
Final Report and Presentation
- Deliverable 1: A deployed functional MVP of the platform
- Deliverable 2: A final report and presentation showcasing the geospatial data fusion methodology, optimization model results, and recommendations for urban planning authorities.
