Filling Data Gaps and Validating Models with Big Data

Read success story
The challenge

The City of Edmonton, Canada’s, annual traffic count program was canceled during the pandemic, leaving city planners with data gaps. As a result, it became difficult to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on Edmonton’s mobility system.

Data-based solution

With StreetLight, the city obtained critical insights that captured travel across the entire city, including inter-zonal and short-distance traffic. They could calibrate and further optimize StreetLight’s metrics enabling the planners to get the results they needed to validate their model. They not only filled in the data gaps, but city planners could also now visualize insights to understand the dynamic data in the changing mobility landscape.

Our Customers

See why they chose StreetLight

Many Cities and MPOs do not have access to regular traffic counts on low-activity corridors such as local roads. StreetLight is a next-generation data source, offering a more comprehensive traffic picture than we’ve ever had before. The applications are endless.
Sandeep Datla
Sr. Transportation Modelling Engineer, City of Edmonton
We wanted to make sure the data we have is as good as we can get. So, we decided to go with StreetLight.
Rob Beuthling
Traffic Planning Engineer
We compared StreetLight’s volume estimates with WisDOT’s continuous counts. The result showed that StreetLight’s AADT were very reliable.

FAQs

Quick answers to questions you may have

Discover everything about StreetLight’s transportation modeling product features, benefits, and more.

What is the Transportation Modeling solution?

StreetLight’s Transportation Modeling solution delivers empirical, validated, transportation data to help you build and calibrate highly sophisticated models at any level of granularity, including micro-, meso-, and macro-simulations. This solution includes transportation metrics commonly used in modeling efforts, such as roadway volumes, O-D data, speed data, and more.

How is the data collected?

StreetLight uses data collected from connected vehicles and the Internet of Things, which is rigorously anonymized, validated, and processed by our Route Science® engine to turn these trillions of data points into recognizable mobility metrics like Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT), Origin-Destination patterns (O-D), and more.

StreetLight processes more than 7 billion trips monthly to build detailed transportation metrics based on hundreds of data sources.

Can I integrate StreetLight’s data with other modeling tools?

StreetLight’s data can be accessed multiple ways, making it easy to integrate data into other modeling tools. You can access the data via API to seamlessly integrate into your apps, dashboards, GIS platforms, and more, or use StreetLight’s self-service software platform, with purpose-built data visualizations and analytics customizations. Any data you access can also be exported into commonly used formats like CSV and Shapefiles.

Do you provide data via API?

StreetLight provides easy-to-use transportation APIs, including the StreetLight InSight® API that can be used to integrate our analytics into many mapping and modeling tools.
