Topa
Topa is a mobile application that provides up-to-date and geo-localized information on the state of streets and public transport routes. It informs about inconveniences that affect mobility, such as traffic jams, or the location of bus stops. It also has citizen complaint tools, through which municipalities are directly notified when a user makes a complaint about broken traffic lights, road damages, accumulated garbage or even robberies and other threats to security. Topa also has a platform for municipalities that allows traffic prediction and reports with geo-located complaints from users. In that way, it is also a platform that produces input and information that can be utilized for strategic and efficient planning.
