Hamburg's transportation and mobility challenges are increasingly more complex and required a data-driven solution to gain insight, report, and improve them. The city needed to analyze data on a day-to-day and historical basis to identify areas of congestion, gain insight into traffic patterns, and more. Additionally, the city required a way to communicate its progress and findings to the press and politicians.
Easy traffic analysis and reporting using floating vehicle data at Hamburg
The city of Hamburg is one of the largest and most important cities in Germany, with a population of over 1.8 million people. As a major economic and cultural hub, the city faces many challenges related to transportation and mobility, including traffic congestion, air pollution, and a growing demand for sustainable and efficient transportation options. To address these challenges, the city has partnered with xyzt.ai, and is using INRIX trips data to gain insights into traffic patterns and mobility trends.
The challenge
The solution
The City of Hamburg turned to xyzt.ai for an easy self-service mobility analytics solution that can work with the INRIX trips data. INRIX trips data consists of waypoints of connected vehicles and provides information on the global traffic through Hamburg and on the local traffic providing information on traffic speed, congestion, and more virtually for every street in the city. Using a daily data update, the analysts at Hamburg can analyze and report immediately, without the need to go out and install costly infrastructure such as traffic counters or traffic cameras. With the xyzt.ai platform they can analyze and compare trends, see bottlenecks, analyze speeding, and in addition report their findings immediately using the built-in dashboarding and sharing feature.
Thanks to xyzt.ai we can now respond almost immediately to mobility questions raised by the citizens, the press, and politicians.
Results
By using xyzt.ai and INRIX trips data, Hamburg was able to better understand and improve its transportation and mobility systems. The city analyzed data on a day-to-day and historical basis. Additionally, the city is now able to communicate its progress and findings to the press and politicians using dashboards created on the xyzt.ai platform, building support for its transportation and mobility initiatives.
Overall, Hamburg's partnership with xyzt.ai and use of INRIX trips data demonstrates the power of data-driven decision making in addressing mobility challenges.
