FEATURE API
Standardize your access to clean location data
Which topics we cover
Out data base has been build for behavioral analysis in urban environments. It covers the following topics and is constantly extended.
  • Urban Morphology
    Describes the form and relation of buildings and streets in different scales, e.g. the width of a building.
  • Accessibility
    Transport related access measures, e.g. public transport access.
  • Topography
    Describes the surface of the terrain and its qualities, e.g. shadowing or view of landscape.
  • Points of interest
    Locations which are of public interest, e.g. retail stores or schools.
  • Environment
    Relation to natural resources and emmisions, e.g. noise and proximity to water.
  • Regulations
    Zoning definitions of administration.
  • Built Environment
    Details on the buildings and residential units, e.g. number of dwellings in a building.
  • Real estate market
    Details on building applications and real estate offers, e.g. mean offering price for 2-room appartments.
  • Socioeconomics
    Details on population and enterprises, e.g. density of young households.
  • Predictive models
    Results of statistic models to predict demand and potentials, e.g. usability for office or residentials.

One in-depth example of what you can now get access to
Residential rent price per square meter
How big is the variation of rent prices within Luzern? Knowing the market value for residential units and its spatial variation is of interest for many parties - it helps real estate developers to predict revenues, owners to define rent prices, administrations to review segregation and private persons to find a “cheap” apartment.

In order to support accurate understanding of residential prices, UDL has developed a data driven process that includes a geospatial machine learning model which predicts rent and sell prices of accommodations in Switzerland. The proprietary analysis combines the latest machine learning models with a spatial analysis to generate accurate predictions in a 25m resolution. And that is only one of many features available on the feature API.
