Transportation systems - and the planning decisions that mold these systems - are important factors that influence both food and health supply chains. The ability to make good decisions about the design and policies underlying these systems requires a significant amount of data. This data is drawn from a wide range of sources and presents […]
Title: "Leveraging Telematics Data for Intelligent Transportation Systems Design" Geotab is the #1 provider of telematics according to ABI Research. We collect 40 Billion data points everyday, including GPS, engine data, accelerometer, etc. During this talk, Dr. Sayegh will share how Geotab is using the power of AI to further evolve how intelligent transportation systems […]
Technological advances and research on methodologies have dramatically increased the availability and quality of automated data that can be used to develop applications that enhance the planning and operations of public transportation systems. Automated Data Systems include: Advanced Fare Collection (AFC), Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL), Automatic Passenger Counting (APC), GTFS-RT, on-board video surveillance, but also new sources of passive data obtained from mobile devices, social media and other Internet of Things (IoT) sensors. A series of workshops have been held in recent years to explore both methodological challenges and potential applications, including: Gifu, Japan (2014), Boston, United States (2016), Santiago, Chile (2017), Brisbane, Australia (2018), and Paris, France (2019) .
The next Symposium will be held August 11-13, 2020 in Toronto, Canada, and we are planning to place more emphasis on applications, and substantially broaden the discussion between practitioners and researchers interested in the use of public transportation automated data.
