Thüga is the largest cooperative network of municipal energy and water service providers in Germany and is made up of more than 100 municipal utilities. Sustainability plays a major role at Thüga, and with it new mobility concepts such as car sharing.
For the profitability and hence the long-term operation of a car sharing system, a high utilization of the vehicles is essential. Therefore, providers must ask themselves the following questions when selecting a location:
Reliable answers to these questions make carsharing networks much more efficient and profitable, for municipal utilities and for society. And these questions are best answered with location intelligence.
Based on data from five carsharing providers in the Thüga network, Thüga Innovation Management wants to find out whether there are specific criteria for good locations with high vehicle utilization.
To do this, they wanted to compare the usage data of the individual vehicles with the geospatial data of their locations.
So where do you get the geospatial data from? These are extremely multilayered and complex. Gathering the data would have taken an enormous amount of time, which would have been disproportionate to the result, especially in view of the uncertainty as to whether there were any correlations at all. So what to do? Geospin!
They decided to use our Geospin portal to shorten the analysis and to directly access the data.
"The Geospin Portal has enabled us to identify a great amount of additional information regarding our sites, download data and use it for our own analysis. "
