CityPulse - Real-Time Traffic & Civic Issue Reporting Platform

CityPulse builds a real-time data layer for cities by merging live traffic signals with high-frequency community reports. Citizens capture what sensors can’t, creating the first crowdsourced operational map for urban infrastructure. It’s the operating system cities use to see problems as they happen.
