By providing GDOT and the ARC full access to our Altitude platform, both organizations have a wealth of features and data categories at their disposal to help them construct better transportation infrastructure. Using a combination of deep, contextual insights on commercial travel, each organization can study problematic traffic areas, vehicle tendencies and other important information. This collection of data provides the context necessary to diagnose transportation problems accurately and create new solutions to address them.
Stop Analytics with Altitude helps GDOT and the ARC identify popular truck parking locations and for how long vehicles usually stop at these areas during certain times of the day. Armed with this information, the organizations can plan safer transportation networks and make more strategic use of available urban space. In addition to stoppage data, our Roads product within Altitude offers critical depth on travel durations and average speeds during different times of day. Studying these intervals and data points helps GDOT and the ARC gather rich, actionable information about their regions’ traffic flows.
Origin and Destination data also plays a critical role in GDOT and the ARC’s planning strategies. By helping these organizations understand where commercial vehicles are coming from and going throughout the state of Georgia and city of Atlanta, infrastructure planning becomes more informed. With the capabilities of the Origin and Destination product, they’re able to measure dwell times, last-mile delivery data and specific journey insights to gain a clearer picture of all regional traffic.
As members of the Eastern Transportation Coalition (ETC), GDOT and the ARC continue to pursue a world with better, safer transportation infrastructure using this unique combination of features. Along with other members of this association, they’re committed to improving the efficiency of their road networks with data. During our recent workshop, we helped attendees, including GDOT and the ARC, go in-depth with Altitude and analyze the exciting potential of our solution through practical use cases and one-on-one training.
