Introducing the O/D CO2 Matrix Using Connected Vehicle Data to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions

By |June 11th, 2019|

Millions of connected vehicles generate detailed movement data. After anonymizing the data it can be used to gain insight into the movement patterns of vehicles as well as which movements generate the most greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

On June 5th at ITS America in Washington DC, Moonshadow CEO, Eimar Boesjes, delivered a presentation titled “Introducing the O/D CO2 Matrix Using Connected Vehicle Data from Millions of Vehicles to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions” at a technical session and panel discussion.

NYC Motor Vehicle Collisions Data in DB4IoT

By |April 10th, 2019|

The NYC Open Data portal provides an interesting data set from the NYPD that is a breakdown of every motor vehicle collision in NYC by location and injury. Each record represents a collision in NYC by city, borough, precinct and cross street. This data can be used by the public to see how dangerous/safe intersections are in NYC.

We imported the data into the DB4IoT analytics platform to visualize the six-year period from July 2012 through June 2018. The following series of images detail the results. Public data sets such as this can be combined in DB4IoT with transportation, traffic, smart-city […]

Making Better Transit Planning Decisions by Identifying ITS Data Errors

By |April 13th, 2018|

Over the last few decades public transit agencies have installed CAD/AVL systems on their buses for Computer Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location. CAD/AVL systems capture data measurements of the location of the bus, number of passengers, delay, speed and many other variables, often as frequently as every five seconds. The result is a huge trove of data that can provide a wealth of information and insights about the operation of a transit agency. Data in these large quantities, however, always contains a significant number of errors. If charts, graphs and even complete dashboard solutions are based on faulty data […]
