MAC data analytics platform

MAC is creating a centralized data engine with web-application support to manage and analyze large-scale mobility information. The system establishes protocols for exchanging data from multiple sources and enables data fusion and analytics across various domains including roadway, incidents, parking, public transit, weather, electric vehicles, and mobile.

The platform transforms raw data into actionable insights for diverse stakeholders — legislators, transportation planners, engineers, researchers, travelers, and companies. Rather than employing traditional standalone software, this web-based system provides organization, visualization, and analytics through browser-based interfaces and data sharing capabilities.
