Challenge
Transportation leaders lack visibility into surging geospatial data growth. With real-time geospatial event data exploding exponentially across fragmented systems, organizations struggle with harnessing geospatial intelligence amidst proliferating data.
The rapid growth of geospatial data has outpaced transportation organizations’ ability to harness its potential, hindering critical operations and services. Siloed and constant information leaves organizations unable to keep pace with volumes using outdated static models to drive decisions in an increasingly complex digitally driven transportation network.
With prompt response times more essential than ever, transportation decision-makers still lack real-time access to dispersed geospatial resources. This prevents holistic understanding of transportation ecosystems and dynamic response to disruptions, degrading network optimization, emergency management, and public guidance.
Solution
Transportation organizations require an agile intelligence engine to navigate a complex data landscape. To achieve this, Etch partnered with Trihydro and created an innovative cloud-based platform that assimilates multi-source big data streams into actionable transportation insights for strategic alignment.
ESP fuses rich geospatial content with traditional transportation data at tremendous speed and scale; this enables transportation leaders to harness exponentially growing geospatial data for data-driven decision making.
With flexible and seamless ingestion capabilities, ESP empowers organizations to aggregate dispersed data silos into an integrated environment. It can ingest and combine data from diverse sources to enrich understanding of events.
Advanced analytics and visualization tools unlock deep insights from fused data to inform critical decisions across transportation operations and planning. By chaining together actions across multiple systems, it enables the orchestration of repetitive tasks like ticket handling and alert prioritization. The platform provides the flexibility to build custom playbooks that coordinate tools to carry out complex transportation operational use cases.
Deep insights are unlocked from fused data to inform critical decisions across transportation operations and planning. By providing a unified platform, data is available across multiple systems. ESP enables the flexibility to build custom data feeds that coordinate tools to carry out complex transportation operational use cases.
Outcome
Etch, working with Trihydro, has just been awarded the final phase of the project and is expected to be fully deployed in fall of 2024.
