What you’ll learn
Do our vehicles know more about our road networks than we do?
How has connected vehicle data changed how we do business across transportation planning and road network management?
What insights can traffic heat maps reveal about congestion, road closures, and incidents?
At what point does connected vehicle data penetration become sufficient for making reliable transportation decisions?
What are the biggest opportunities for transportation agencies to work smarter, not harder, using connected vehicle data?
Quotes
“No data is still information.”
“Basic probe data helps us make better investment decisions, but enhanced probe data is where we can save lives.”
“When penetration reaches 20% at traffic signals, we’ll be able to make operational decisions daily instead of weekly.”
“Nominally, in the US, we see about 150 hard braking events for every crash, depending on where you are.”
“If a road is busy enough that you’re worrying about it, you have enough probe data.”
