The built environment is petrifying. As a result, it is getting hotter in summer, rainwater is causing increasing nuisance and groundwater levels are falling. With new policies, the government is trying to counter petrification.
NEO has recently been working on a new service that allows active monitoring of the extent of petrification. This allows you to analyse in detail whether policy measures are having an effect. For example, on business sites and in people's gardens.
Our innovative approach
Combining information from many sources into one database and unlocking it in an API with the WFS-T protocol gives you access to the best and most up-to-date information. We use data from the Tree Register, from aerial photos and satellite images and last-but-not-least from the BGT (the large-scale topographic base map).
Our mathematical model is very precise and also looks at whether or not paving is present under trees, how 'closed' paving is, etc. Using satellite images and aerial photos, we plan to monitor changes at least four times a year, but our aim is more often.
For whom.
The service is designed for those who want to prevent flooding. For those specialists who carry out sewerage repairs. For those who analyse the living environment, but it is also a support for green space managers and more.
When?
In the next month, our service will go online. As soon as this is the case, we will inform you. If you have any ideas or needs regarding its use or functionality before then, we cordially invite you to share them with us. You can do so by calling us on 033-2100700 or emailing us at info@neo.nl
