Urban Design

**Data-driven Strategy & Planning**

Get data tailored to your priorities to ensure a successful rollout
Municipalities and communities attempting urban technology upgrades without clearly defined goals and standards may be setting themselves up for failure. Prior to any purchase of equipment and software, decision makers need to lay out specific and actionable issues. On this basis measurable goals can be defined and tracked.
Our data-driven approach will help you refine quantifiable success criteria, based on a stringent analysis of your stated goals.

**Budget optimization**

**Optimize your spending**
Vennfrog’s platform uses data from dozens of vendors and manufacturers to simulate and compare thousands of hardware and software combinations of both lighting and urban technology. This allows our customers to allocate their resources in the most efficient possible way.

**Computer Aided Generative Design**

**Model lighting on a city-wide scale**
Vennfrog’s proprietary solution lets you model urban technology and streetlighting infrastructure at a city, county or state level. This scalability, a feature lacking in almost all software commonly used by industry professionals, is a key component of our holistic approach
Our solution is built on a custom generative rule-based geospatial software. The default generative rules are drawn from the experience of dozens of cities across the world. These help our experts offer competitive diverse solutions to your issues, while guaranteeing an impartial, independent nonpartisan approach.

**Conformity and compliance**

**Ensure compliance with standards and regulations**
Vennfrog’s solution is fully compatible with the most current regulations and standard that our may face. These include, among others, ANSI/IES RP-8-18, the lighting industry’s gold standard. Our platform can also ensure conformity with specific municipal rules and regulations.

**Custom Design Solutions**

**Set your own design rules**
Multiple features are factored in when calculating optimal lighting levels and smart object location, such as traffic, crime, land use, special districts and buildings (schools, hospitals, etc.)
Further, codifying your own design rules is a great way to enhance your strategy. Whether you’re trying to cut down on capital expenditures or you are doing your part for the environment, our solutions lets you experiment with your own design rules until you find the one that best serves your needs.

Spatial Data Analysis

Data Sourcing

Quality Data From Reputable Sources

We collect high-quality open-source data from government and private sources, including satellite, drone imagery and OSINT. We thoroughly vet the most reliable information on sources on the most pertinent topics for our clients.

This allows us to build the accurate and comprehensive datasets that are necessary for effective GIS analysis.

Custom Geo-Statistical Datasets

Quality GIS analysis requires many layers, including land use, population density, political districts, roadways, traffic, crime, hospitals/schools, etc. Drawing from a variety of government and private sources, we build GIS and statistical datasets tailored to your requirements.

When unavailable our experts can digitize satellite information and gather data to fill any gaps in the decision making process.

Data Validation

Datasets deteriorate over time. Small inconsistencies quickly turn into major hurdles for decision makers. This is especially true of geospatial data on which urban decision-making rests. VENNFROG data and GIS experts can restore the integrity of your datasets, letting your organization focus on its business-critical tasks.

Data Visualization

Illustrate Your Vision Effectivelly With Impactful Maps and Charts

Raw geostatistical data can get overwhelming. Datasets commonly contain tens if not hundreds of thousands of data points. Data visualization is about cutting through the complexity to communicate your findings with clarity and precision.

Our GIS team is passionate about making maps, charts, and graphics that are clear, effective, and appealing.

Data Cross-analysis

Unlock The Value Of Client’s Data

We analyze, cross-reference, and homogenize data from multiple existing datasets. We identify trends and patterns and isolate the most important factors necessary to decision making.

Identify Geostatistical Patterns

Data needs to be contextualized with spatial information for its potential to be fully realized. We carry out our analyses in context by projecting data from street level to national level depending on the requirements.

Our Services

Urban Technology and Project Governance

Project Governance and Guidelines

We Provide Project Owners with a decision-making framework.

Governance is one of the biggest factors in urban technology project failures. The diversity and quantity of stakeholders and decision makers involved, means that an ironclad governance structure must be imposed.

This governance must build momentum, keep everyone involved, monitoring progress, and make stakeholders stay on schedule. This is a core component of our project management toolkit.

Vennfrog can help with planning, procurement, or execution. Our clients regularly rely on our extensive experience managing large-scale projects and our contacts in the industry.

Stakeholder and Vendor Coordination

Rally stakeholders around your idea.

As stated, managing a project involves coordinating with numerous and diverse stakeholders, whether city officials, community members, contractors, vendors, etc., whose views, locations, expectations, work culture, and time management can differ drastically.

Keeping the communications flowing means keeping all the various stakeholders committed.

Commissioning and O&M Procedures

Issue commissioning guidelines.

A key component of project acceptance, the commissioning process ensures that a project is completed according to requirements. We design commissioning guidelines and procedures that will deliver fully quantifiable and measurable tests of the investment.

Lay down O&M guidelines.

Vennfrog has been designing O&M guidelines and procedures that meet the highest standards of safety and efficiency. Our services can help your team model and price out predictive maintenance scenarios.
