Turning Every Building in Drenthe Into a Filterable Energy Map
For the Province of Drenthe, seeing energy data building by building opens up a much clearer picture of what is happening on the ground.
Operations you can see
The whole network, as it runs
Vehicle positions, timetables, delays, asset condition and passenger counts already sit in your data platform. Icon Map shows them where they happen, so a control room sees the network, not a table: which lines are running late, where vehicles are bunching, where traffic is holding them up, and which assets need attention.
Build performance and asset reports in Power BI with Icon Map Pro, or bring live feeds, 3D vehicles and playback together in Microsoft Fabric with Icon Map for Fabric. One organization-wide license, no extra GIS software, and reports you can share with partners and the public.
- Live, true-scale 3D vehiclesTrams, buses and trains as 3D models that follow the track through every curve, in Icon Map for Fabric.
- Standard feeds, straight inGTFS and GTFS-Realtime, train describers, AVL and telematics stream through Eventstream, or sit in OneLake for history.
- Punctuality beside the mapDelay, on-time performance, bunching and congestion as measures, filtering with the map in the same report.
- From one platform to the regionThe same map zooms from a station to the whole network, with your assets, catchments and open data around it.
Public transport · Krakow, Poland
A live digital twin of a city's transport
Every tram, bus and regional train in Krakow, live from the city's open data: where each one is, how late it is running, where vehicles are bunching and where traffic is holding them up. Zoom in to see each vehicle in 3D, click one for its line, delay and next stop, and follow it through the city.
Live data: ZTP Kraków open data (MPK trams and buses, Mobilis buses) and Koleje Małopolskie open data (regional trains and buses), as GTFS-Realtime, read every 10 seconds by Icon Map's collector, which matches each vehicle to its timetabled trip to work out its delay. The map runs about half a minute behind, so every vehicle moves between two positions it really reported, along its route. Vehicle types are drawn from fleet numbers where they carry them; models and liveries are generic. If the live feed is unavailable, a recorded weekday evening plays instead. Basemap from Icon Map's built-in basemaps. 3D models and live streaming are features of Icon Map for Fabric.
How it works
From feeds to a living network
-
Stream the positions
GTFS-Realtime, train describer and AVL feeds flow into Fabric through Eventstream every few seconds, matched to the timetable so every vehicle carries its line, trip and delay.

Add the network
Routes, stops and stations from GTFS, your track and asset registers, 3D buildings and terrain from the Icon Map Catalog, and 3D models for every vehicle type.

Run the service
Watch the network live or replay any period, follow a vehicle, and measure punctuality, bunching and congestion with every chart in the report filtering together.

Infrastructure and access
The railway itself, in Power BI
Real Icon Map renders built from ordinary tables: the track network and its condition, who can reach each station, and how busy they are. The walking catchments are computed in the browser on Icon Map's own routing engine, so station and passenger data never leaves your tenant.
Condition scores are synthetic for demonstration; the network geometry, routing and rendering are the shipped product.
Across operators and infrastructure owners
Where rail and transit teams use Icon Map
Service control
Every vehicle live with its delay, gaps and bunching along each line, and the congestion holding services up, as it happens.
Delay attribution
Find recurring delay hot spots and their causes, and replay a disruption minute by minute to show how it spread and settle disputes.
Asset condition
Track, structures and rolling stock condition from inspections and sensors, colored by severity, to plan maintenance by location.
Weather and environment
Flood zones, trees along the line, slopes and soils from the Icon Map Catalog beside your assets, to rank risk before the storm.
Passengers and stations
Footfall, crowding and flows through stations and on trains, catchments on foot, and the journeys passengers can make.
Health and safety
Incidents and near-misses from network trends down to a single level crossing or platform, for investigation and reporting.
Possessions and works
Planned possessions, works sites and speed restrictions on the map with the services they affect, as the weekly access brief.
Performance and compensation
On-time performance by line, stop and hour, and the cost of delay: UK operators paid £138.6 million in Delay Repay in 2023/24 (gov.uk).
