Abstract:

In this event, three Big Data experts highlighted research findings and tools, illustrating the role that Big Data plays in transportation planning. Each presentation focused on a different data source. Scott Perley, vice president of performance analytics at Iteris, opened up the event with a presentation on the use of probe data to supplement more traditional traffic data sources. Professor Alexey Pozdnukhov followed up with a presentation highlighting his recent efforts in the use of call detail records to develop precise activity based models, a project developed in direct collaboration with AT&T's research group. Finally, professor Krzysztoff Janowicz talked about the use of social media data to derive a spectrum of semantic signatures and retrieve the pulse of a city. The event was introduced by Katie Benouar, Chief of the Division of Transportation Planning at Caltrans, and moderated by Juan Argote, UCCONNECT's assistant director.
