What we learned

• A lot of work has been done in:

• Data Collection Methods

• Data Visualization and analytics

• Most of the work has been on end to end pilots

• Data Standards are the key to integration and

Scalability

• Agenda is often driven by technology

General Transit Feed Specifications

(GTFS) is the defacto standard for using

and sharing public transit data. To further

the use this data standard, an Open

Learning Course has been developed.

The materials have been finalized and the

OLC course is now in development by

the Knowledge Management Unit

Data Standards: Creating ROADSThe creation and use of Open Data Standards

allows for the interoperability and scalability of

tools, dissemination and technologies to be

replicated in a wide range of environments. The

emergence of Open Standards has catalyzed the

development of planning, analytics and

monitoring platforms.

With Roads Global Solutions Groups Lead a Road

Data Standard (ROADS) has been drafted. As a

next step, the draft of the standard, will be

finalized in coordination with the larger road

asset management community –both internally

and externally– to create an international

standard.

Leveraging Partnerships

The OpenTraffic program leverages open-source technology and big data partnerships to

substantially reduce the cost of traditional traffic data collection and analysis, while

simultaneously improving the quality of the data. This is the first scalable open-source program

of its kind, empowering less-advanced economies to leapfrog a stage in Intelligent Transport

systems development.

Open Traffic: Innovation in Data Partnerships

Dynamic Pricing for TNCSão Paulo has developed a mechanism to use TNC data to establish a dynamic price per kilometer for TNCs operating in the

city, formulating public urban mobility policies of interest to the Municipality. The prices is based on:

Accessible vehicles: inclusion

of persons with reduced mobility

Time of use: rationalizes

the use of the road and discourages

drunk driving

Stimulus to service to the periphery:

decentralization and provision of

transportation to regions with reduced PT supply

Congestion Pricing: reduces

the number of vehicles on

the roads

Gender equality: incentivizes

the participation of female drivers

Incentivizes low-polluting vehicles

Leveraging Partnerships

Next Generation Technology

Zanzibar Mapping Initiative

This project evolved as client request into the largest

survey drones mapping project in the world at

3000+ flights and serve as a demonstrator for a range

of WBG Land Administration and Risk Assessment

projects.

The new data are 4 times higher resolution than 2009

map allowing for new applications in issues such as

land adjudication, landfill volumetric monitoring,

cultural heritage mapping, flood risk assessment, that

were previously not possible
