Data is the real-time insight, historical knowledge and fuel of a future transportation engine that will provide efficient operations, safer roads and environmentally friendly mobility.

Join the Maricopa County Department of Transportation, TomTom and Flow Labs for an insightful webinar on new strategies to access, manage and leverage existing data, all without the need for new, expensive hardware. Data is routinely left on the table, but it holds the key to providing traffic managers with real-time road conditions, and a comprehensive view of operations, mobility, safety, and asset health.

This is a “get on board or risk getting left behind” moment in transportation. Many agencies struggle to understand traffic volumes and safety risks due to outdated measurement methods, legacy systems, and detector latency. In this discussion, Maricopa County Department of Transportation will discuss how they are breaking away from convention and using Flow Labs’ AI platform to address critical operational challenges including siloed and unverified data, unactionable analytics and unscalable signal retiming.

Connected vehicle data is playing a pivotal role in this transportation evolution. TomTom, the world-renowned mapping and geolocation technology specialist, will explain how their CV probe data provides unparalleled accuracy on roadways, allowing agencies and traffic managers to fully understand actual traffic volumes, travel times, and safety risks, facilitating better decisions.

Speakers:

– Jatish Patel, Founder and CEO, Flow Labs

– April Wire, Traffic Operations Branch Manager, Maricopa County Department of Transportation

– Douglas Gilmour, Sr Mgr Business Development, Traffic and Travel Information, TomTom

Let’s Transform the Future Together.

Technology evolves faster than we can imagine the future. Rapidly evolving transportation innovations are being developed and deployed that promise to entirely reshape the way our transportation network operates, facilitating vast improvements to transportation safety and overall mobility. The promise of these innovations is apparent, but the deployment and application of these technologies is not without challenges. While technology disrupts the transportation ecosystem with new innovations and ideas, government, communities, private companies, and researchers must race to catch up to and contend with ideas never thought possible. How do we accelerate change and safely embrace new technology while promoting collaboration across industry to advance shared societal goals? Through nonprofits like the Intelligent Transportation Society of America (ITS America).

ITS America and its members have been at the center of these innovations, advocating for transformational technology to save lives, promote sustainability, and improve access to mobility.
