Hub networks designed on data, defended by it.
For municipalities, planning consultancies, and operators building shared mobility networks at city or regional scale.

The problem
Hub networks are built as networks. They can't be scouted one site at a time.
Dense hub networks aren't built one site at a time. They're built as networks — coverage, walking-distance thresholds, integration with public transport, parking pressure, neighbourhood character. The decisions are political as much as technical, and they need underpinning that holds in council chambers and public consultations.
Locata supports network-level design with both site-level scoring and coverage-scenario evaluation. The output is the same shape: ranked candidates with reasoning, but framed against the scenario the network is being designed for.
Qué hace Locata
Cuatro casos de uso, una plataforma.
El mismo backbone de puntuación aplicado a las decisiones que los equipos de hubs toman cada trimestre.
Network coverage scenarios
What does a 20-hub network cover? A 35-hub network? Compare scenarios on coverage, cost, and stakeholder fit — with reasoning attached so council can see the tradeoff, not just the result.
Site-level scoring
Per hub: resident density, modal split, public-transport proximity, parking pressure, redevelopment context. Every candidate ranked against the same network-design objective.
Public opposition risk
Same NIMBY-screening logic as our utility work, applied at hub scale. Surface objection risk in the screening round so it informs the network design, not the consultation phase.
Consultation-ready dossiers
Per-hub reasoning formatted for inclusion in public consultations and council documents. Defensible against the inevitable 'why this corner, not that one' question.
Datos que conectamos
Las fuentes detrás de cada puntuación.
Hub network design draws on demographic, transit, and political-geography layers in roughly equal measure — the data mix is closer to urban planning than infrastructure rollout.

What a report looks like
Per-hub scoring with the scenario behind it.
Every candidate hub ships with its own reasoning — and the coverage scenario it's evaluated against. Switch scenarios, see the same candidate score differently with the rationale that changed.

Cómo empezamos
How we start.
A typical engagement opens with one city or one district — a scenario evaluation across two or three candidate network sizes — so you can see how the methodology handles the political reality of hub siting before scaling it across a region.

FAQ
Shared mobility: preguntas frecuentes.
What is Locata for shared mobility hubs?
Locata is a network-design platform for shared mobility hubs. It scores candidate locations against resident density, modal split, public transit proximity, parking pressure, and redevelopment context — and evaluates coverage scenarios across network sizes so council can see the tradeoff, not just the recommendation.Who uses Locata for hub networks?
Municipalities designing city-scale hub networks, planning consultancies delivering hub-network projects to gemeente clients, and shared mobility operators planning regional rollouts. The workflow is the same; the customer determines the political weight applied during scoring.What's the difference between site-level scoring and coverage scenarios?
Site-level scoring ranks individual candidate hubs against the network objective. Coverage scenarios evaluate the network as a whole — what does a 20-hub network cover versus a 35-hub network, in walking-distance terms and modal-split impact. Both run through the same scoring backbone.What data does Locata use for hub planning?
BAG (residences and frontage), CBS demographics (density, age, modal split), NS/ProRail station data (public transit proximity), municipal open data (parking pressure, mobility plans, redevelopment zones), OpenStreetMap (road and cycle network, POI density), and parking pressure datasets where published.Are Locata reports defensible in public consultation?
Yes. Per-hub reasoning is formatted for inclusion in public consultations and council documents. Every score traces back to its inputs, the methodology is auditable, and we surface public-opposition risk in the screening round so it informs the network design, not the consultation phase.What does Locata cost for mobility hub work?
Pilots from €15,000 fixed-scope for a single-city or single-district scenario evaluation. Ongoing subscriptions from €2,500/month for consultancies running multiple client engagements concurrently.
