The authors of Game of War decided to take up the improvement of the public transport system in New Zealand

How can I spend money by earning it on a mobile game? You can buy an island, make another game, and, it turns out, take up the correction of the transport situation in one particular country.

MZ Company (known as Machine Zone until this April) will improve the efficiency of New Zealand’s public transport system. This was recently announced by Gabriel Leydon, CEO of the company.

For the New Zealand government, MZ has developed an application that visualizes the transport ecosystem. The model allows you to find and fix problem areas in it.

The technology with which the model is implemented will soon also allow New Zealanders to find out where their transport is at a particular moment (Yandex has, by the way, a good analogue – “Yandex.Transport”).

Such an initiative is, apparently, the first project within the RTplatform cloud platform created for distributed data processing. Its launch was announced a month ago.

With its help, the company not only tracks the behavior of hundreds of thousands of players in the game, but also where they came from and how much they spent in the game.

“Let’s say you have 100 million devices. We can ping once every few seconds. So we can create something like a digital reflection of what is happening in the world,” Leydon said, explaining the work of the service as part of the initiative in New Zealand to CNBC.
