Better streets through more data; [GesichtsBessere Straßen durch mehr Daten]

Abstract

This article explores how additional data can contribute to better streets. Road planning and management involve information about traffic, road condition, safety, land use and the needs of different users. Combining datasets can help authorities identify problems, compare interventions and monitor results. GIS provides a spatial framework for bringing these records together and communicating patterns to decision-makers. The quality of conclusions depends on reliable data, suitable analysis and consideration of local context. The topic highlights data-informed approaches to street design and transport management, where the goal is to support safer and more effective urban mobility.
