Telematics Data is Reshaping Our Understanding of Road Networks
In this episode MIT Professor Hari Balakrishnan explains how Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) is transforming traditional road network analysis by layering dynamic behavioural data onto static map geometries.
Telematics data creates "living maps" that go beyond traditional road geometry and attributes. By collecting movement data from 45 million users through phones and IoT devices, CMT has developed sophisticated models that can:
- Generate dynamic risk maps showing crash probability for every road segment globally
- Detect infrastructure issues that aren't visible in traditional mapping (l...
