The Solution
We developed the Storm Insights platform for the City of Boston, which lets local leaders analyze critical data, including the quantity of plows required vs. in-use, vehicle activity, number of open resident complaints and an up-to-the-minute total of unplowed streets. We simultaneously created Snow Cop, a public facing application that showed residents real-time information about plowing activity and progress in their neighborhoods.
Key Outcomes
With the Storm Insights analytics module and the Snow Cop app, Boston was able to
- Track more than 800 plows and 1200 deployed to clear 150,000 miles
- Reduce snow removal costs by an estimated 5-10%
- Reduce complaint calls from residents
- Secure positive local and national press for the city’s Chief Information Officer and Mayor
