Road Safety Starts with You: Report Issues in Real Time with Ipsilum and Ponle Freno
With the application we have developed, any citizen can easily report a problem detected on roads or public spaces—whether it’s a pothole, a damaged sign, or a dangerous obstacle. The process is simple: just open the map on your phone, mark the exact location of the issue, and submit your report. One of the major improvements in this version is that the system now automatically identifies which authority is responsible for the road or street where the report has been made. This ensures that the issue won’t get lost or go unattended: it is instantly forwarded to the correct organization, whether it’s the local council, regional authority, or national agency. This greatly improves response time and streamlines the entire process.
🧩 Ipsilum is a powerful platform capable of supporting far more complex scenarios.
Right now, this is the core use case we are launching in collaboration with the Ponle Freno campaign to promote road safety. But Ipsilum is much more than this—it is a powerful platform capable of supporting far more complex scenarios.
For example, Ipsilum can help manage emergency situations such as floods or fires by enabling real-time communication not just between institutions, but directly with citizens in the affected areas. Messages can be sent exclusively to people within a specific risk zone, and at the same time, authorities can receive direct information from those citizens, such as their location or live reports of what they are witnessing. This enables instant coordination of resources, evacuation procedures, or personalized instructions for people on the ground.
🌐 What makes Ipsilum truly unique
Ipsilum has the ability to connect and coordinate all actors involved: citizens, field workers, managers, and emergency control centers. And it does this without requiring any complex installations—Ipsilum works directly in your web browser and can even operate in low-connectivity environments. Additionally, Ipsilum integrates smart processing capabilities that can automatically prioritize alerts, calculate optimal routes for intervention teams, or even run predictive analyses to assess the risk level of reported incidents. Through this new citizen reporting application, we are already improving communication and accelerating the management of daily road safety issues.
But Ipsilum is ready to go even further—supporting emergency response, infrastructure management, and the continuous improvement of public services, always putting citizens at the center of the conversation.
✅ Conclusion
Ipsilum is not just a reporting tool—it’s a new way to connect citizens, institutions, and field teams in real time. By making geospatial technology simple, accessible, and interactive, Ipsilum empowers people to improve road safety, strengthen emergency responses, and streamline infrastructure management. Through initiatives like Ponle Freno, we are demonstrating that citizen participation can drive real change when supported by the right technology. Ipsilum helps ensure that every report is heard, every action is traceable, and every response is faster and smarter. Because safer, smarter cities start with better communication. Ipsilum makes it possible.
