Situation
City administrations and departments are faced with the need to make strategic decisions about territorial development based on vast amounts of diverse data: human mobility flows, social and commercial infrastructure utilization, and transport accessibility. Traditional analytical tools were unable to cope with this volume, and predictive models were overly simplified.
Action
A geoinformation ML system for urban modeling and master planning was developed. It is based on a hybrid architecture combining geoanalytics and machine learning algorithms. The system processes large data sets on population mobility, infrastructure visitation, and urban planning parameters, and builds predictive models for the load on schools and clinics (and 10+ other social facilities) and the impact of new residential development. The algorithms automatically identify hidden patterns and enable interactive testing of various development scenarios ("what if...").

Situation
Businesses regularly face administrative fines for violating advertising and signage regulations. The regulations are complex, context-dependent, and vary across buildings, streets, and districts. Moscow entrepreneurs lack tools to check their planned or existing signs in advance and avoid penalties.
Action
A web service based on an expert system using computer vision was developed. Numerous complex, context-dependent rules (building type, street status, adjacent signs, historical zones) were formalized into a single automatic verification algorithm. The user uploads the sign's parameters (or specifies the address), and the system returns a result in seconds: whether the structure complies with city regulations.
Technologies
CV models for classification and segmentation
OCR for text analysis
A rule-based engine
Visualization: adaptive web service
Result
The service has become a self-monitoring tool for entrepreneurs: they can check both existing and planned signs before receiving a fine. The system identifies specific violations, provides recommendations for correcting them, and informs about the availability of approved regulations at a given address. Now, you can check your sign in just two minutes, not two weeks.
