  • Urban Engines was a data analytics startup based in Silicon Valley. It was acquired by Google in September 2016. It used data to give insight into cities and how people move around in them. Founder and CEO Shiva Shivakumar says the company is mapping the "Internet of Moving Things," as quoted by the New York Times, which is a new way of mapping objects in motion. The company's goal is to improve mobility in cities. Urban Engines has developed a new type of database, which maps objects in motion, called a "Space/Time Engine", and currently has deals with cities like, Washington D.C., São Paulo and Singapore as well as delivery and logistics companies. The company also released a commuter app with "mixed-mode routing," which evaluates different modes of transportation – walking, driving, public transit, and Uber – to give users the quickest routes. The app is built on Urban Engines own proprietary mapping system. (en)
