Urban Insights’ transportation-focused big data and
predictive analytics consulting and services practice, being shown
publicly for the first time at today’s ITS America Capitol Hill Transportation Technology Showcase,
helps the industry improve operations, reduce costs and better serve travelers.
Today’s urban transportation networks generate large amounts of operational and
sensor data; however, unlocking the hidden insights using today’s standard
reporting tools and methods is a challenge. Urban Insights empowers
transportation organizations to gather any kind of data from wherever it
resides, combine it with other relevant sources, unlock the insights contained
within, and then act on them. Urban Insights is a wholly owned subsidiary
of Cubic
Transportation Systems, a global leader in intelligent
transportation solutions that serves 38 million people every day and processes
$18 billion in transportation revenue each year. Visit www.urban-insights.com or
