Predictive urban intelligence for
smart cities,
built on AWS SageMaker.
A smart city authority needed to move beyond reactive city management by using AI-powered forecasting across urban infrastructure. Aeologic deployed an AWS SageMaker analytics platform integrated with existing IoT, GIS, and municipal systems, enabling administrators to predict infrastructure demand, optimize public resources, and improve citizen services through real-time machine learning insights.
In short
Aeologic implemented an AWS SageMaker predictive analytics platform for smart city operations, connecting IoT, GIS, municipal, and infrastructure data into one intelligent analytics layer. The solution enabled predictive demand forecasting, anomaly detection, operational analytics, resource planning, and AI-powered recommendations across 250+ connected government and infrastructure assets.
- Client Smart City Authority
- Problem Disconnected city systems with limited predictive visibility
- Solution AWS SageMaker forecasting + IoT/GIS integration + AI analytics
- Scale 250+ smart city and government assets connected
Smart city operations lacked real-time visibility and relied on disconnected manual processes.
The municipality managed transportation, utilities, public infrastructure, and environmental services across multiple departments using disconnected applications and manual reporting. City planners lacked predictive insights, making it difficult to anticipate infrastructure demand, optimize maintenance schedules, allocate resources efficiently, and respond proactively to changing urban conditions. The growing volume of operational data also made it difficult to establish a consistent, centralized view across public services.
