Listening City - Active Social Media Listening to Improve Road Safety by the Madrid City Council
Within the framework of a European innovation project, the Madrid City Council needed to know how its citizens perceived the risk of traffic accidents and road safety.
The Madrid City Council, within the framework of a European innovation project, collaborated with Virtual Desk to implement Listeningcity, a social media listening platform. This solution, based on natural language processing, has allowed the City Council to understand citizens' perceptions and concerns about road safety in real time, facilitating decision-making to optimize public policies and improve citizen satisfaction.
In a connected world, social networks are proving to be a key element in understanding the needs and concerns of citizens.

Lack of interoperability
The Madrid City Council faced key challenges in road safety management:
- Lack of real-time information: It was crucial to understand how citizens perceived the risks of traffic accidents and road safety policies.
- Scattered data: Information on social networks and other channels was not centralized, making it difficult to analyze and use for decision-making.
- Interaction with citizens: A direct channel was needed to receive suggestions, complaints and incidents related to public roads, transport, street furniture and signage.
- Agile decision-making: Public policy management required relevant and up-to-date data to effectively address road safety issues.
Virtual Desk deployed Listeningcity, an advanced active listening platform that included:
- Social network analysis: Semantic technology based on natural language processing to analyze citizens' opinions and concerns in real time.
- Suggestions and Complaints Box (SYR): A direct channel to receive messages from citizens, complementing the information obtained from social networks.
- Interactive Dashboards: Visualization of statistics and descriptive reports that facilitate data interpretation and decision-making.
- Linguistic adaptability: Semantic analysis adaptable to the linguistic needs of the City Council, ensuring an accurate understanding of the messages.
- Regulatory compliance: Implementation of security measures aligned with the GDPR to protect citizens' data.
Our platform guarantees accurate, real-time data exchange between institutions, improving reliability and providing a more efficient service for dependent individuals.
