Application guides

Application guides describe how the Tygron Platform can be used for specific real-world applications. They help users translate policy questions, planning questions or analysis questions into practical Tygron workflows.

Application guides are not replacements for technical documentation. Instead, they connect user questions, required data, assumptions, workflows, relevant Tygron components and implementation pages.

Each guide should help answer:

  • what user question the application addresses;
  • when Tygron is suitable;
  • when Tygron is less suitable;
  • what data is needed;
  • which assumptions must be documented;
  • which Tygron components are relevant;
  • which workflows and How-to pages should be used;
  • what outputs can be expected;
  • how results should be validated;
  • which related guides or technical pages may be relevant.

How to use these guides

Use an Application Guide when the starting point is a real-world problem or policy question, rather than a single Tygron feature.

For example:

  • use an Application Guide to understand how Tygron can support a water stress test, heat stress analysis or accessibility assessment;
  • use technical documentation to understand the details of a specific overlay, component, attribute or setting;
  • use How-to pages when the user needs step-by-step instructions for a specific task.

The Application Guides are intended to bridge these three levels:

  1. the real-world question;
  2. the Tygron analysis workflow;
  3. the relevant technical documentation and How-to pages.

Themes

The Application Guides are organized by theme. Some themes contain multiple applications. Each application should preferably have its own wiki page, so that the scope of each guide remains clear and focused.

Water

The Water theme contains applications related to rainfall, flooding, surface water, flow paths, sewer interaction, groundwater and water-system behaviour.

Extreme rainfall

Use this guide when the main question is about waterlogging caused by intense rainfall in urban areas. Typical questions include:

  • Where does water accumulate during extreme rainfall?
  • Which buildings, roads or vulnerable functions are affected?
  • How can water-depth maps be translated into impact?
  • Which measures reduce waterlogging?
  • How can results be prepared for a risk dialogue?

Relevant Tygron components may include:

Flooding

Use this guide when the main question is about the impact of flooding from a breach, external water level or flood event. Typical questions include:

  • Which areas are inundated during a flood event?
  • Which buildings, roads or critical functions are affected?
  • How deep does the water become?
  • How quickly does water reach vulnerable locations?
  • How can flood impact be visualized and communicated?

Relevant Tygron components may include:

Surface runoff pathways

Use this guide when the main question is about surface runoff, flow paths, local drainage directions or the route water takes through an area. Typical questions include:

  • Where does rainwater flow over the surface?
  • Which low points or barriers influence flow paths?
  • Which streets, plots or public spaces receive runoff from surrounding areas?
  • How can flow paths support climate adaptation design?
  • How can flow-path results be used to identify logical locations for measures?

Relevant Tygron components may include:

Heat

Use this guide when the main question is about heat stress, urban temperature differences, vulnerable locations or the cooling effect of greenery, water and shade. Typical questions include:

  • Which areas are most vulnerable to heat stress?
  • Where are heat-sensitive functions located?
  • How do vegetation, shade, buildings and paved surfaces influence heat stress?
  • Which measures reduce urban heat?
  • How do current and future design scenarios compare?

Relevant Tygron components may include:

Health

Use this guide when the main question is about the relation between the physical environment and health, wellbeing or exposure. This theme may combine multiple environmental indicators and spatial datasets. Typical questions include:

  • Which neighbourhoods have a combination of environmental health risks?
  • Where do vulnerable groups coincide with heat, noise, air quality or limited green space?
  • How can environmental quality be compared between scenarios?
  • Which spatial measures improve health-related indicators?
  • How can results support policy, planning or stakeholder dialogue?

Relevant Tygron components may include:

Accessibility

Use this guide when the main question is about accessibility, road usability, critical routes or the effect of environmental conditions on movement through an area. Typical questions include:

  • Which roads become difficult or unsafe to use?
  • Which critical routes are affected by water, heat or other conditions?
  • Are vulnerable locations still reachable?
  • How do current and future scenarios affect accessibility?
  • Which measures improve accessibility or reduce disruption?

Relevant Tygron components may include:

Structure of an Application Guide

Each Application Guide follows a similar structure. This helps users, search engines and large language models understand how a real-world question is connected to Tygron workflows, relevant components, How-to pages and expected outputs.

A typical Application Guide includes:

  • purpose and target audience;
  • suitable and less suitable use cases;
  • required data;
  • assumptions and choices;
  • workflow steps;
  • practical How-to routes;
  • expected outputs;
  • validation checks;
  • relevant Tygron components;
  • frequently asked questions;
  • related guides, search terms and key terms.

Guidance for AI and search engines

These Application Guides are intended to make it easier for users, search engines and large language models to connect real-world questions to Tygron workflows.

For that reason, each guide should use clear natural-language questions, such as:

  • Can Tygron be used for a water stress test?
  • How do I analyse waterlogging in Tygron?
  • What data do I need for a heat stress analysis?
  • Can Tygron compare climate adaptation measures?
  • How do I calculate affected buildings?
  • How do I export results to GIS?
  • When should specialist software be used instead of Tygron?

Each guide should also explicitly connect:

  • user intent;
  • required data;
  • assumptions;
  • Tygron components;
  • workflow steps;
  • How-to pages;
  • expected outputs;
  • validation checks.

This helps prevent answers that only mention a single feature without explaining how that feature fits into a complete analysis workflow.
