The expanded and evolving use of big data in transportation applications has largely outpaced the ability of transportation professionals to keep up with the latest technological developments. Big Data Solutions for Transportation: Collection, Analysis, and Implementation helps readers properly collect, and analyze big data for use in developing, testing, and deploying successful transportation solutions.
The book synthesizes state of the art uses for big data, identifying new research directions for future studies. Big Data Solutions for Transportation: Collection, Analysis, and Implementation covers the rapid advances in supply and demand transportation platforms, such as Uber and Lyft, as well as how to interpret and apply the vast amounts of data collected from cell phones, social media, taxi cabs and other transit systems.
Big Data Solutions for Transportation: Collection, Analysis, and Implementation
provides readers with an understanding of how communities can apply big data to the latest infrastructure systems, improving quality of life, and expanding economic competition on local, regional, and national scales. The book combines a multitude of perspectives, developing a unifying set of research challenges and methodologies likely to impact transportation infrastructure systems for many years to come.- Applies a multidisciplinary perspective to transportation big data science, and its practical applications
- Explains the rapid advances in the observability of transportation assets and platforms matching supply and demand (such as Uber and Lyft)
- Explains how data from cell phones, social media, taxi cabs, and other transit systems are harnessed to help design critical infrastructure systems that are economically competitive and improve quality of life
- Combines engineering, computer science, state and local government, social science, physics, and network science perspectives, developing a unifying set of research challenges and methodologies likely to impact transportation infrastructure systems
