Fleet maintenance

To correctly determine when maintenance is needed on which fleet of vehicles, we ensure that the municipality is able to provide services in public spaces. In doing so, we contribute to the safety of residents and a cleaner city.

Goal and impact

Predicting the right time when maintenance is needed in the fleet

Considerations

Results Uthiek Assessment: with this approach, we encourage that the municipal vehicle fleet is and remains active, and of sufficient quality. This allows the municipality, with these cars, to provide services in public spaces. In doing so, we contribute to a safe and clean city, namely the values of Safety and Health.

Human intervention

The algorithm (with direct impact on Utrecht residents and their living environment) only serves as a source of information for an employee, who takes the right follow-up step based on this information and the context of the situation. This principle is included in our Utrecht framework Internal Guidelines for Algorithm Application.

Risk management

The Utrecht data scientists, Information and Process Advisors (IPA) and Decentralised Information Security Officers (DISO) within the Utrecht municipality have a controlling and monitoring role in the application of the algorithm, in addition to the employees directly involved. By doing so, we want to prevent the following risks from occurring:


- data leak by making personal data of Utrecht residents publicly available

- algorithm takes a decision completely independently, without the intervention of an employee and without interpreting the relevant context of the situation

- 'function creep' regarding data in the application of the algorithm, as a result of which the algorithm gives a distorted picture of what is going on. This can occur because the same type of data is used when applying the algorithm, and the algorithm uses that as confirmation of what comes out as information

  • Residents can report through an online reporting system if something needs to be fixed or cleaned up in the public space (e.g. street or park). If the municipality is responsible for this, it will be dealt with.
