Tried and tested solutions for municipalities – ready to use straight away

Understanding and purposefully developing cities

Which parts of my city are most vulnerable during heatwaves? How do our municipal CO₂ emissions look? Are schools and care services within easy reach for all citizens?

Many municipal challenges already have ready-made solutions in CIVORA - developed and tried in practice with municipalities such as Troisdorf, Augsburg and the KielRegion - ready for immediate reuse by your municipality.

Use Cases and Specialist Applications in CIVORA

Not every municipality needs to reinvent the wheel
Image

Use Cases

Use cases provide data-driven answers to specific municipal questions – and in CIVORA, they are ready-made and available for immediate reuse. This means for you:
  • No development process from scratch – ready to use straight away
  • Saves considerable time, budget and staff resources
  • Tried and tested in practice – developed together with municipalities
Image

Specialist Applications

Specialist applications are ready-made software solutions for municipal administrative tasks – with their own interface, business logic and simulations for decision support. This means for you:
  • Developed for statutory municipal tasks – ready and immediately deployable
  • DKSR continuously maintains calculation bases, methodologies and legal requirements – your administration does not need to make adjustments
  • No in-house development effort, no standards monitoring – we take care of that

For many municipal challenges, solutions already exist – fully developed, tried and tested, and directly reusable in CIVORA. See for yourself.

Energy

Energy and emissions monitoring

Use Case

Where are the heat islands in your municipality? Which population groups are most vulnerable to heat? How long does it take those groups to reach a cool space from the hottest areas in your city? Or more broadly: What risk factors must you address in your heat action plan - and how? We help you compile, visualise, analyse and evaluate the data you need to answer these questions with confidence.

Image

Energy-Community-Tool

Specialist application
How do multiple buildings share solar energy they generate together - and what does each member earn in return? The Energy Community Tool calculates the financial viability of different configurations, showing precisely what savings each member can expect. The result: faster planning for energy communities, simpler onboarding of new members, and fair distribution models that everyone can follow transparently.
Image

Digital Energy Adviser

Specialist application

How do you support citizens with energy-efficient retrofitting without adding to your advisory burden? The Digital Energy Adviser calculates personalised scenarios using official 3D geodata and AI-powered window detection from photos. Citizens get specific recommendations - including real costs and savings potential. The result: a lower barrier to retrofitting, less pressure on your advisory services, and an option for citizens to voluntarily contribute their data to municipal heat planning.

Climate

Heat Risk Filter

Use Case
Where are vulnerable groups most affected by heat - and how far is the nearest cool space? The Heat Risk Filter combines satellite-based heat hotspots, social data and accessibility analyses to show urban planners and climate adaptation managers where adaptation measures such as new green spaces, drinking fountains or cooling centres are most urgently needed.
Image

Climate Dashboard

Use Case
How has the local climate changed - and what does that mean for health, agriculture and infrastructure? The Climate Dashboard consolidates climate-relevant data from a wide variety of sources into a comprehensive situational overview - flexibly expandable to meet local needs. This creates a solid foundation for climate adaptation and mitigation measures, reporting obligations, and the awareness-raising and engagement of citizens.
Image

Understanding heat waves

Use Case

How exceptional are the heat events in your region - and how do they fit into the global picture? The Heat Monitor analyses heat events from locations across the world and makes local events comparable in a global context. This creates a well-founded understanding of how severely your municipality is affected by climate change.

Image

Heat Resilience Planner

Use Case

Which heat protection measures are most effective – and where? The Heat Resilience Planner provides data-driven recommendations from your municipality's catalogue of measures, weighted by heat risk index, local conditions, costs and cooling effects. This allows you to deploy investments precisely where the need is greatest and the impact is highest – data-driven rather than gut instinct.

Mobility

Image

Parking Monitoring

Use Case
When and where are parking spaces occupied? And where are drivers coming from? Sensor data and Floating Car Data reveal parking behaviour and parking search traffic - enabling you to optimise parking guidance systems and plan new parking strategies based on solid evidence.
Image

Black Ice Alert

Use Case
When and where is black ice likely to strike? The Black Ice Alert combines weather data, DWD forecasts and IoT road sensors - and automatically triggers an alert when action is genuinely required. Winter maintenance crews deploy where they're needed, using less grit and keeping costs down.
Image

Footfall Analytics

Use Case
How many people move through the city centre - when, and where do they come from? Visitor flow data reveals spatial and temporal patterns, for example during events or seasonal fluctuations. The city of Troisdorf uses this data to develop targeted measures for city centre revitalisation. A valuable foundation for place marketing, event planning and retail.
Image

Bike Lane Planner

Use Case
Where are bike lanes actually being used - and where is the crucial connection missing? The Bike Lane Planner combines real-world cycling data with street network information to show where new cycling paths would have the greatest impact. So investments go where they are truly needed.

Social

Image

Care Atlas

Use Case
How high is the demand for care in your region - and is there enough capacity to meet it? The Care Atlas visualises care needs and care capacity broken down by age, gender and type of care. Underserved areas become visible early - and can be directly factored into facility planning.
Image

School District Planner

Use Case
Which schools are overcrowded, which are underutilised – and how far do pupils really walk? The School District Planner maps provision rates and accessibility at a glance. When it comes to redrawing district boundaries, the tool generates algorithmically optimised proposals – no more gut instinct. Walking distances, social mix and existing capacities are all factored in. And every proposal can be adjusted manually.
Image

Automated Social Reports & Indices

Use Case
How are caseloads in youth services developing - and where is demand for social assistance rising? Data from children's services, social welfare and other municipal systems are consolidated and automatically generated as a report on a set schedule - and sent directly if required. Trends and developments in the social sector are always visible, without staff having to evaluate data manually. A reliable basis for administrative and political decision-making - flexible, GDPR-compliant and requiring no coding.
