A leading smart city authority needed a customized geospatial platform to improve urban planning, infrastructure monitoring, and public service coordination. Aeologic developed a custom QGIS solution that integrated city infrastructure, IoT sensor data, and operational workflows into a unified GIS platform, enabling real-time spatial intelligence, efficient resource management, and data-driven urban development. QGIS is widely used to build customizable geospatial applications for smart city and infrastructure management.
The authority operated 140 signalized intersections across three states with legacy inductive-loop sensors and siloed camera feeds. Traffic engineers adjusted signal timing manually based on historical patterns, and incident response relied on phone reports from field staff — often 12–18 minutes after an incident began.
Rather than replace existing sensor hardware, Aeologic layered a Sense → Decide → Act pipeline on top of it: normalizing feeds from inductive loops and traffic cameras, training SageMaker forecasting models on 14 months of historical flow data, and pushing predicted congestion windows back to the signal controllers as adaptive timing recommendations.
A GIS-based operations map gives traffic engineers a single live view of every intersection, with automatic anomaly flags and one-click rerouting suggestions during incidents.
"We went from finding out about congestion after the fact to seeing it forming twenty minutes before it happens. That's the difference between managing traffic and predicting it."
