How do cities select the right indicators to measure progress towards antifragile urban mobility? With a systematic, flexible tool designed for real-world application.

AntifragiCity has developed a KPIs’ definition tool that enables cities to define, refine, and customise key performance indicators (KPIs) based on strategic vision, objectives, and real-world applicability for urban mobility management.

The tool uses a flexible, three-stage mixed-methods iterative approach. The methodology for KPI selection involves five steps: delineating strategic vision, establishing operational objectives, specifying requirements, systematically identifying and selecting KPIs from a comprehensive catalogue, and refining or extending the preliminary set. This approach combines criteria-based filtering, multi-criteria decision analysis, an ontology-driven backbone, and expert input.

The API structure is layered to facilitate seamless integration and real-time data exchange, comprising city stakeholders as final users, an API gateway as the entry point, a KPI service layer for selection logic and data processing, and a KPIs’ catalogue store for persistent storage and retrieval. The structure incorporates feedback loops to refine and validate KPIs, ensuring their continuous relevance and accuracy in monitoring urban dynamics.
