The past, present and future of transportation analytics

The past, present and future of transportation analytics

Departments of Transportation (DOTs) now have the volume of data and analytical capabilities to gain a greater understanding of what’s happening on our roads. And this technology has arrived just in time. Discover how data insights have evolved, and why they’ve never been more essential for DOTs, in our latest eBook.

  • The data collection methods of the past, and why they forced DOTs to choose between a lack of context and a lack of volume.
  • The technology DOTs of today are using to collect and analyze data, and how it’s empowering staff to create more efficient transportation networks.
  • The future of transportation analysis: including advanced AI, digital twins, and 100% data accuracy.

What’s inside

“…DOTs can quickly identify and solve problems. In turn, they can create safer, more efficient, more cost-effective road infrastructure.”

RSG and Prologis: Making smarter transportation infrastructure decisions with a data-driven approach

RSG used Altitude by Geotab’s aggregated mobility data to help Prologis understand and improve their supply chain logistics in California’s Central Valley. The study revealed that most heavy truck trips originated from eastern areas, challenging previous assumptions and leading to a revised plan for infrastructure improvements, including interchange placement and EV charging stations. By integrating Altitude data into their travel model, RSG provided Prologis with insights to address key questions about infrastructure investments and optimization. This data-driven approach resulted in heightened government awareness, accelerated infrastructure project timelines, and enhanced supply chain efficiency. Ultimately, Altitude by Geotab enabled Prologis to make more informed site selection and infrastructure decisions to foster smoother and more sustainable supply chains.

Outlining the Path Toward Trucking Electrification

Every day, trucks travel across the United States, delivering goods that keep our communities running. It’s easy to overlook the scale of this operation, but consider this: these vehicles move 13 billion tons of freight annually, worth $14 trillion. As we strive for a more sustainable future, how can we transform this essential sector? Altitude by Geotab’s aggregated mobility data offers a powerful lens to explore the potential of trucking electrification.
