StreetLight Data

StreetLight Data, Inc. (“StreetLight”) pioneered the use of Big Data analytics to shed light on how people, goods, and services move, empowering smarter, data-driven transportation decisions. StreetLight applies proprietary machine-learning algorithms and its vast data processing resources to measure travel patterns of vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians, accessible as analytics on the interactive StreetLight InSight® SaaS platform. 

Using StreetLight’s leading machine learning and data science, along with Altitude by Geotab’s comprehensive commercial vehicle movement dataset with privacy-first and validated data, the product delivers actionable insights for agencies, businesses, and planners to power critical decision-making around freight movement. The product includes aggregate truck volumes and congestion metrics for all major roads on an easy-to-use platform, saving time and ensuring precision with comprehensive coverage. It delivers rich analytics to understand the ‘why’ behind truck activity, with data by weight, industry, route type, and more.

Available within the StreetLight InSight® application, planners can now contextualize truck activity with other modes of transportation, including personal vehicle, bike, and pedestrian metrics. The ability to compare the distribution of trucks to personal vehicles allows planners to see a more complete picture of travel patterns as an input for corridor planning, project prioritization, safety, signal timing, roadway design, and emissions modeling. In addition, understanding high-volume truck routes is critical for managing their outsized impact on the supply chain and economy.
