The reason

Why connect RDW to DigiData?

The RDW connector synchronizes the listed public parking datasets, including parking areas, rates, garages, P+R areas and carpool spaces. DigiData updates these tables daily and offers them via OData and CSV. The freshness and completeness of the records remain dependent on publication by the RDW. You configure map layers and analyses in the reporting tool.

Connecting RDW to Power BI in short

The RDW connector is available and synchronizes supported tables such as Parking areas, Area regulations, Area managers and Parking garages. DigiData offers these source records via OData for Power BI and Excel and via CSV for separate exports. The connector only supplies the entities listed on this page; source permissions, the source API, and your sync schedule determine which records and updates are available. You set up relationships, calculations and dashboards in the reporting tool.
