Why 98% data accuracy isn’t enough for your traffic solution
The safety of citizens on roadways and at intersections is a top priority for governments, and drives decision-making at every stage of traffic infrastructure implementation. From strategic planning, to procurement, installation, and management, ensuring public safety comes down to having accurate and timely data to make the right decisions at the right times. So when your team is deciding on new traffic technology for your city, data accuracy rates play a critical role in ensuring public safety and shortlisting vendors.
Know the Ground-Truth with Video-Based Data Collection
Big data is a part of the traffic data collection landscape, but bigger doesn’t always mean better. In light of changing traffic patterns during the pandemic, some U.S. states have halted traditional data collection programs for the time being and are instead pushing for the adoption of big data powered software platforms. Big data platforms, however, require specific usage guidelines when it comes to supplementing traffic count programs (see, Virginia’s Report), because big data isn’t an appropriate tool for all use-cases.
New Challenges Call for New Solutions
Technological innovation is accelerating. Several industries have seen widespread adoption of solutions that focus on improving efficiency, maintaining business continuity, and allowing users to accomplish more. While other sectors are embracing ingenuity at a breakneck pace, the traffic industry has faltered. Whether it’s a systemic or localized problem, I think we, as contributors to this industry, have relied on traditional practices and dated solutions that impose unnecessary barriers in our work. Working closely with our customers to help them maximize the benefits of the traffic technology available today, I’ve gotten insight into the problems my fellow traffic engineers are facing, as well as the broader challenges within our industry. One of the most common challenges? Data.
