Building a library of urban realities
Why different streets, demand and mobility patterns matter to network intelligence.
One city cannot represent every city
Street geometry changes. Traffic demand, public transport and pedestrian patterns change. So does the way congestion moves through the network.
SIPD-M LABs are the environments where the technology can study those differences. Recreating different urban realities makes it possible to explore which optimisation principles may carry across cities and where local context matters.
From one environment toward a connected collection
SIPD-M is moving from a single-city simulation environment toward a connected set of city simulations. This is a development direction, not a claim that a network of municipal deployments is already operating.
Madrid LAB is the current technical simulation environment described on this site. It does not imply participation by Madrid City Council. New environments, city dialogue and future objectives are distinguished by their status.
The ambition is a growing library of urban realities, built progressively and supported by evidence.
