Current insight into the hardening of the Netherlands
NEO's Pavement Monitor gives you accurate and up-to-date insight into paved surfaces throughout the Netherlands. Crucial for effective climate policy, water management and urban development.
NEO's Pavement Monitor gives you accurate and up-to-date insight into paved surfaces throughout the Netherlands. Crucial for effective climate policy, water management and urban development.
The pressure on our living environment is growing. Municipalities, water boards and planners need reliable information on paved surfaces to prevent flooding, reduce heat stress and fine-tune spatial plans.
Unfortunately, much existing data is outdated or too coarse-grained. Without up-to-date and fine-grained data, good policy is difficult.
NEO provides continuously updated and highly detailed information on surface paving with the Pavement Monitor. This always gives you the latest information.
Input from satellites, aerial photos, BGT and proprietary sources.
Our advanced Artificial Intelligence classifies surfaces by pavement type.
At least twice a year.
The data is accessed via the viewer and API.
For local governments, the Pavement Monitor is a powerful tool to develop and monitor effective climate policies. Consider:
Result: more targeted policies and data-driven choices in urban development and climate adaptation.
Water boards need up-to-date and detailed soil and surface information to properly manage the water system. The Pavement Monitor helps with:
Result: better justification of investments and more effective water management.
Policymakers and project leaders focusing on climate adaptation and sustainability use the Pavement Monitor for:
Result: visually supported plans that are insightful and convincing for administrators and citizens alike.
For operators of underground and overhead infrastructure, pavement data is important at:
Result: smarter management and better risk management based on actual site conditions.
In spatial planning, an up-to-date picture of paving is indispensable. Consider:
Result: data-driven design choices with social impact.<
According to the most recent measurements, a significant part of the Netherlands is covered with paved surfaces, such as roads, squares, pavements and buildings. With the Pavement Monitor anyone can view this level of paving on a detailed map. The interactive viewer shows both national figures and detailed information by municipality, district or even street, so you can see exactly where paving is taking place.
The Pavement Monitor makes it possible to access historical data to analyse the development of pavement in the Netherlands. By processing updates several times a year, the monitor shows trends in urbanisation, increases in building and construction of new infrastructure. This feature is valuable for anyone researching land use, climate adaptation or the impact of paving on water management.
The Pavement Monitor uses a combination of high-quality data sources, including:
Automated image recognition through AI and machine learning
Thanks to this combination, pavement data is kept accurate, complete and up-to-date.
