Aschaffenburg's ABGIS Platform Expands Real-Time Services
Aschaffenburg's digital tool, AschaffenBürgerGIS (ABGIS), has seen steady growth since its launch in April 2025. This platform, developed by the Technical University of Applied Sciences Aschaffenburg, provides real-time information to enhance daily life in the city.
ABGIS initially focused on construction site updates, but it has since expanded its scope. Soon, it will include real-time data on free disabled parking spaces and bus parking spaces, making it even more useful for residents and visitors.
The platform offers a wealth of information, such as locations of playgrounds, disabled parking spaces, drinking fountains, and public Wi-Fi hotspots. It also features a 3D view of buildings with simulated shadow casting, aiding urban planning and homeowners' decisions.
ABGIS is part of Aschaffenburg's digital strategy, 'Dialog City', aiming to improve the city's quality of life through digital applications. Technically, ABGIS is built on an open-source solution developed by the city of Hamburg, ensuring platform independence and lower costs.
Since its launch, ABGIS has been growing and expanding its services. With the addition of real-time disabled and bus parking space information, it continues to enhance daily life in Aschaffenburg. The platform's success aligns with the city's digital strategy, 'Dialog City', and its use of an open-source solution promotes platform independence and cost-effectiveness.
