Learn how INRIX partner,
StreetLight Data, helps cities become Smart Cities by giving planners and
development professionals the tools they need to strengthen existing models and
observe impacts of policy decisions without requiring costly and time-intensive
surveys. Billions of trips, with high spatial precision, allow StreetLight
InSight® to answer important questions such as:
- What
are the origins and destinations of travelers on this road segment? How
does that differ from peak to off-peak times of the day?
- How
do average commute times differ between cities or regions and what does
the data today indicate about the future
- How
can I understand the impacts of congestion and target programs to bust
congestion (then monitor how they’re doing)?
- How
can we design and implement smart tolling and signaling programs, and make
sure they're effective?
