FAQ

How is Wherobots useful for mobility data companies?

Wherobots enables mobility data companies to process massive amounts of geospatial data quickly and efficiently. It solves the challenge of computationally expensive spatial joins, allowing for rapid analysis of billions of data points in minutes. This empowers companies to build scalable data products and gain enterprise-grade spatial insights for use cases like route optimization, fleet management, urban planning, and near real-time location services.

We use H3 to process our data, do we still need Wherobots?

Yes, Wherobots can still provide significant value even if you use H3. While H3 is excellent for discretizing spatial data, Wherobots, built on Apache Sedona, offers a comprehensive spatial analytics platform that excels at large-scale spatial operations, including complex spatial joins, queries, and analytics across diverse geometries, even when working with H3 indices. It complements H3 by providing the scalable infrastructure and advanced functions needed for deeper analysis and integration with your data lakehouse.

What types of mobility data (e.g., GPS, mobile device, IoT, vehicle location data) does Wherobots support?

All of the above and more. Wherobots is designed to support a wide variety of mobility data types, including but not limited to GPS traces, mobile device location data (bidstream, app data), IoT sensor data from vehicles or infrastructure, and general vehicle telemetry. Its robust spatial engine can ingest, process, and analyze diverse geospatial formats and structures common in the mobility sector.

What are the typical deployment options for Wherobots for mobility companies?

We deploy as a managed cloud service. But we also have options for bring-your-own-cloud and VPC.

How does Wherobots compare to other geospatial tools specifically for large-scale mobility datasets?

Wherobots differentiates itself by focusing on extreme scalability and performance for large-scale spatial operations, especially computationally intensive tasks like spatial joins and aggregations on billions of points. Built on Apache Sedona, it leverages distributed computing frameworks, making it significantly more efficient for big data mobility analytics compared to traditional GIS tools or less optimized geospatial libraries or cloud data warehouses.
