Expert Panel: Next-Gen Origin Destination Technologies – Faster and
More Affordable
Join Us for a Webinar
Next Week – Wed, April 20th
10:30am
PST, 1:30pm EST
New origin-destination
technologies available today are positioned to revolutionize how city planners,
DOTs and the like can better plan multi-modal improvements for the future,
keeping up with the ever-increasing mobility demands upon a region. Hear from a
panel of experts about how knowledge about commuting patterns provides the
necessary data to planning agencies to understand the current demand and its
shape, using the new data sources for model calibration and validation.
Similarly, knowing where people start and end their journeys to a major
sporting event can help local authorities plan and manage virtually every
aspect of the relevant transport decisions with much greater precision.
