Update micro-depot dashboard

In recent years, micro-depots have established themselves as central components of sustainable urban logistics. They act as decentralised transfer points in the urban area and help to make delivery traffic more efficient and lower in emissions. There is a growing need for Berlin to systematically monitor the development of such locations and integrate them into strategic planning.

The inventory and accompanying dashboard, first created in 2022, provide an important foundation. This information is intended not only for specialist concepts such as the Integrated Economic Traffic Concept but also to be embedded in climate and funding policy contexts, for example in the Berlin Energy and Climate Protection Programme or the European research project UNCHAIN.

This is accompanied by an increasing demand for reliable data on the number and spatial distribution of micro-depots to be provided regularly. The project aims to update the data status for 2025 and, at the same time, to create the methodological basis for continuous updating. For this purpose, practical procedures are to be developed that will enable future surveys to be implemented with little effort and high quality within the administration.

Working together and in a division of labour with cargobike.jetzt, I am primarily responsible for the following for the client: the creation of an efficient tool for data updates, the update and optimisation of a dashboard for visualising Berlin's micro-depots and their temporal development (Note: The project descriptions presented here, which I have modified, were jointly created by the respective project participants.)
