Urban Insights' transportation-focused big data and predictive analytics consulting and services practice, being shown publicly for the first time at today's ITS America Capitol Hill Transportation Technology Showcase, helps the industry improve operations, reduce costs and better serve travelers. Today's urban transportation networks generate large amounts of operational and sensor data; however, unlocking the hidden insights using today's standard reporting tools and methods is a challenge. Urban Insights empowers transportation organizations to gather any kind of data from wherever it resides, combine it with other relevant sources, unlock the insights contained within, and then act on them. Urban Insights is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cubic Transportation Systems, a global leader in intelligent transportation solutions that serves 38 million people every day and processes $18 billion in transportation revenue each year.
