Streetlight Data

By pioneering Big Data analytics to enable smarter transportation, Streetlight empowers cities to better deploy mobility solutions, enabling smarter, more impactful investments.

Big data analytics for mobility

StreetLight (acq. by Jacobs Engineering) applies proprietary machine learning algorithms to over four trillion spatial data points to measure multimodal travel patterns and create “digital twins” to help cities identify sources of congestion, optimize infrastructure and prepare for the future. Designed for smart cities and the transportation industry, the StreetLight’s platform provides industry-targeted analytic tools to support critical infrastructure planning, enabling smarter, more impactful investments and policy decisions.

Transportation infrastructure and systems are transforming rapidly as legacy infrastructure ages and new technologies and forms of mobility are changing how people move. However, most urban systems planning still relies on discrete, incomplete and stale data insights that are costly and do not scale efficiently. The StreetLight data analytics platform brings near real-time big data insights to scale for key stakeholders, enabling more intelligent planning and decision making while reducing the associated time and cost.
