StreetLight’s data services rely on the proprietary Route Science® technology: best-in-class processing of historical and real-time, disparate and messy data combined with access to unique data sets from partners.

Route Science combines four different elements: engineering models of vehicles, traffic data, environmental information, and road segment characterization and scoring.

Key Innovations of Route Science

• Road Segment Framework: Route Science is organized on a framework of road segments, which allows StreetLight to join behavioral data with place, context and data about the road itself.
• Time Segment Framework: Route Science incorporates a new approach to organizing “transportation time.”
• Integration of low-fidelity and high-fidelity geospatial data exhaust:  StreetLight’s proprietary suite of algorithms and filters combines low-fidelity tracks of locational data with high-fidelity geo-spatial data, repurposing data already being used for traffic and transportation purposes (such as navigation). 
• Transform messy, low-value data into actionable, high-value information.

Route Science enables dynamic analytics that reflects the context of a location, such as whether the population of people who visit the area tend to come from the north or the south side of town.
