Peachtree Corners partners to integrate mapping technology

The Curiosity Lab at Peachtree Corners in Georgia is deploying geographic information system (GIS) technology provider Esri’s ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Velocity platforms to advance smart city planning and management initiatives.

The integration will enable Peachtree Corners to seamlessly visualise, analyse and consolidate data from the city’s connected 5G smart city environment, unlocking actionable insights.

Real-time information

Esri’s ArcGIS Velocity, a software-as-a-service Internet of Things (IoT) application for processing, visualising, and analysing real-time data, will aggregate real-time IoT device data, giving Peachtree Corners immediate insight by combining information gathered from the city’s existing and newly deployed technologies, empowering leaders with critical information ranging from traffic flow to crowd movement.

ArcGIS Online will support mapping, spatial analytics, field operations support, data management, imagery, and remote sensing, while ArcGIS Velocity enables enhanced service delivery for various civic departments, ultimately improving the quality of life for residents.

“Our Peachtree Corners use case will serve as the standard for what’s possible when innovative city leadership offers a real-world stage for technology like ArcGIS”

“Here in Peachtree Corners, we are committed to using technology to create a safer, smarter and more connected community for our residents and businesses,” said Brian Johnson, city manager of Peachtree Corners. “Bringing Esri’s ArcGIS Velocity into our smart city ecosystem gives our ecosystem partners an opportunity to integrate with the world’s leading geospatial platform, for a full-scale view of every connected asset, from traffic signals to environmental sensors.

“We look forward to exploring the many ways in which this comprehensive technology can let us spot patterns, predict issues, and act before they impact our community. It’s a force-multiplier that moves us from reactive fixes to proactive, data-driven decisions, facilitating efficiency for existing and future integrated technologies.”
