Near Real-time Analytics for Transport Network Planning and the Commonwealth Games 2022

Transport for West Midlands has built a state-of-the-art Regional Transport Coordination Centre (RTCC) to improve the customer communications. This is used during major planned events, such as the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and the massive construction works happening in the region. The residents, visitors and businesses of the West Midlands want trusted travel information to plan the most sustainable, consistent journeys across the region. The internal team, supported by commercial partners applies the power of real-time 4 & 5G sensor-based data collection, cloud-computing resources, simulation as a service, a digital representation of the region and the connecting strength of GIS. This session will cover the deployment of 4 & 5G enabled sensors, linking the data together into meaningful analysis using GIS and the APIs from the same tools to communicate with the public.
