With geomatics, Renault Group maps the mobility of tomorrow Published on Article summary Behind a charging station, a driving simulation or an industrial decision, there is often a map. Or rather, millions of spatial data points, analyzed, cross-referenced and interpreted. This is the realm of geomatics, a still little-known discipline that is already central at Renault Group. From the deployment of Fast Charge stations to the measurement of road noise, this is an immersion into a science that turns data into concrete decisions… and mobility into a field of innovation. Key takeaways - Geomatics makes it possible to turn spatial (geolocated) data into concrete decisions. - It has been used at Renault Group for over 10 years. - It is applied in key areas such as electric mobility, engineering, marketing and simulation. - Concrete projects include Fast Charge, geomarketing, APACHE, driving simulation and the Road Slopes Calculator. - A strategic lever for smarter, more sustainable and connected mobility. Looking beyond the mapping of charging stations Imagine a map. Not the kind you check when heading off for the weekend. A living, evolving map, constantly fed by data from satellites, sensors, vehicles and even human behavior A map that doesn’t just show roads, but also uses, flows and opportunities. That’s what geomatics makes possible. « Geomatics is a combination of geography and computer science. It is a discipline that makes it possible to collect, process and analyze geolocated data in order to represent reality. » In other words: turning the real world into a digital twin. Every point becomes a piece of information. Every journey tells a story. Every data point helps inform decisions. At Renault Group, geomatics is a strategic tool that has been used for more than ten years to address very concrete challenges: where to install an electric
