A living operations map for the city

Unify assets, incidents, crews, citizen feedback, and long-term spatial analysis.

Business outcomeOne governed view from daily operations to infrastructure investment planning.

The operating situation

A city receives reports of waterlogging, failed streetlights and waste overflow across different channels. It needs one governed map without collapsing department ownership, must deduplicate related reports, dispatch the correct crew, preserve citizen privacy, publish honest status, and analyze service equity using versioned ward and asset data.

Keep authority explicit across the stack

01Department systems of recordRetain authoritative assets, work orders, ownership and service outcomes; the map does not become an ungoverned replacement master.
02Spatial data cataloguemGIS registers layers, schemas, CRS, stewards, update cadence, license/sensitivity and immutable versions.
03Event correlationNormalizes citizen reports and sensor alarms, preserves each source, and derives bounded incident clusters under a versioned rule.
04Work orchestrationCreates department-specific tasks, routes capable crews, tracks progress/proof and reconciles closure to the owning system.
05Role and public projectionsControl room, department, executive and public views apply distinct access, aggregation, delay, accessibility and disclosure policy.

From intent to reconciled outcome

1
Stage 1

Catalog authoritative layers

Capture intent and source evidence without inventing a more precise state than the inputs support.

2
Stage 2

Ingest live assets and citizen reports

Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

3
Stage 3

Dispatch and monitor work

Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

4
Stage 4

Publish role-specific dashboards

Advance through an idempotent boundary, preserve stable Mappls identity, and expose freshness and ownership.

5
Stage 5

Analyze hotspots and service equity

Reconcile the terminal result to every authoritative system and retain attributable evidence.

Records that must survive restarts and retries

Layer ↔ steward, source, schema, CRS, sensitivity, version

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Report/alarm ↔ source identity, consent, event/receipt time, coarse/public projection

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Derived incident ↔ member evidence IDs and correlation policy version

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Work order ↔ owning department, asset, SLA, task/provider identity, closure proof

Version, authorize, retain, observe, and reconcile this relationship explicitly; do not recover it later from display text or logs.

Design recovery before rollout

Two departments claim the same incident

Keep one coordinating incident with explicit owning/participating work orders; never transfer authority by map edit alone.

Citizen report contains precise personal data

Restrict raw evidence, derive a coarse operational/public location and apply purpose-specific retention/redaction.

Public status lags internal resolution

Version projections, display freshness, alert on reconciliation delay and correct with an attributable update.
