Transit technologies such as Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Advanced Fare Collection (AFC), as well as others, offer tremendous opportunities to support transit planning and management, but progress in the industry to seize on these opportunities has been slow.

Dr. Brendon Hemily has been involved in many projects over the last three decades related to the use of transit data and analytics. In particular, he has prepared a discussion paper for the U.S. Department of Transportation to identify the uses and challenges in effectively using the new resource of data, and was co-organizer of the TransitData 2020 International Symposium on the Use of Public Transit Automated Data, hosted by the Transit Analytics Lab (TAL) last summer.

This presentation will explore the possible uses of transit data, and provide insights on the many organizational and technical challenges faced by transit agencies in adapting to the new world of Big Data.

Presentation conducted as part of TAL’s activities.
