Interdisciplinary Exchange - Fast Calculations

The Digital Supply Atlas (DVA) is much more than a traditional web platform with a mapping application. It is designed as a comprehensive tool for spatial regional and sectoral planning, significantly facilitating data exchange between different institutions.

Conceptually, the DVA goes beyond merely providing analyses and functions as an interdisciplinary information system, centralizing access to planning information and data nationwide. Under the administration of a central state authority, various specialist institutions can collaborate seamlessly, utilize harmonized data, and make better-informed decisions.

For planners, the DVA offers methodologically advanced calculationsthat would be difficult to achieve with conventional desktop computers. Thanks to centrally provided computing power, complex methods such as the E2SFCA methodethode (Enhanced Two-Step Floating Catchment Area) can be applied to multiple districts in less than two minutes . The method server is essential for analyzing access, reachability, and catchment areas of infrastructures and residential areas—key aspects of public service planning.

The connection to a powerful method server makes the DVA anindispensable tool for modern planning, offering speed, precision, and cross-sector collaboration. Future expansions, such as a potential QGIS integration, further highlight the DVA’s potential to elevate planning processes to a new level.
