AMITA CORPORATION

Published purpose

The purpose of this agreement is to develop a Geospatial Decision Support Platform (GDSP) to enable city planners with the ability to answer advanced geospatial questions through open data. The GDSP is targeted to the everyday problems of managing a city, specifically the questions that affect efficiency of municipal operations and ensure minimal impact to citizens and businesses. The GDSP will factor in timing parameters such as seasonality and municipal events to provide information on spatial-temporal impacts to questions submitted by city employees. The project will first engage the cities of Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver to determine common prototype question sets as well as to assess the Open Data available to support geospatial decisions. Once the GDSP system has been developed, the cities will be invited to beta test the system and provide feedback to AMITA Corporation in order to refine the platform into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
