How to Procure and Use Connected Vehicle Data eBook

By |2022-05-19T23:46:21+00:00May 19, 2022|Uncategorized|

Tens of millions of dollars in infrastructure investments are often based on sparse information about how the road network is actually used. This is changing quickly as data from connected vehicles (CVs) provides detailed information on the use of our road networks that was never before available. Turning billions of CV records into actionable information for transportation engineers, however, can be very challenging. This work requires advanced data processing skills, specialized software, and significant server resources. Many purchased data sets remain unused after agencies and consultants run into data processing roadblocks.

Seven States Test Moonshadow Live Traffic for Hurricane Evacuation Traffic

By |2021-07-15T15:56:54+00:00October 7, 2020|Uncategorized|

Click here to view the Webinar We introduced Moonshadow Live Traffic powered by Wejo’s connected vehicle data in July. Only three months later the Departments of Transportation (DOTs) of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia decided to test out our system in a Proof of Concept to get real-time traffic information during hurricane evacuations. The Eastern Transportation Coalition approached Wejo and Moonshadow in August with the question if Wejo’s real-time connected vehicle data could facilitate faster and safer evacuations. Wejo Connected Vehicles in the Seven State [...]

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

By |2021-06-30T23:54:09+00:00June 10, 2019|Uncategorized|

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 to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions" at a technical session and panel discussion. 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. Anonymized connected vehicle data includes the origin, destination and waypoints of trips. Timestamps give us [...]

NYC Motor Vehicle Collisions Data in DB4IoT

By |2021-07-01T17:15:36+00:00April 10, 2019|DB4IoT News, DB4IoT with INRIX Trips, The Internet of Moving Things, Uncategorized|

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 [...]

ITS Washington Annual Meeting Presentation – Using Connected Vehicle Data to Estimate Greenhouse Gas Emissions

By |2021-07-01T17:23:14+00:00December 19, 2018|DB4IoT News, DB4IoT with INRIX Trips, The Internet of Moving Things, Uncategorized|

Eimar Boesjes, Moonshadow CEO, delivered a technical presentation at the ITS Washington annual meeting on December 11th, 2018 in Seattle.Estimating vehicle emissions from connected vehicle data does not replace existing environmental models, roadside emissions measurements or environmental models. Rather, it augments these. We think it would be extremely interesting to compare the emissions estimates from DB4IoT with INRIX Trips with actual measurements from roadside air quality measurements, with emissions calculations from gasoline sales and with the existing environmental models. These different approaches each give a different insight and [...]

Making Better Transit Planning Decisions by Identifying ITS Data Errors

By |2021-07-01T20:30:42+00:00April 13, 2018|DB4IoT News, Route Analyst GTFS, The Internet of Moving Things, Uncategorized|

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 [...]
