StreetLight Data offers a transportation analytics platform that converts billions of connected‑vehicle observations into standardized traffic metrics such as AADT, origin‑destination flows, multimodal volumes, speeds, and emissions factors. The data are delivered via a self‑serve dashboard, API, or bulk extracts and are validated against permanent traffic counters (R²≈0.98), supporting government agencies, private firms, and consultants in planning, operations, and climate reporting.

Problem
Transportation planners, operators, and analysts often lack timely, comprehensive, and validated traffic data across all road types and travel modes, making it difficult to model demand, manage congestion, assess safety, or evaluate climate impacts without costly field surveys or fragmented data sources.
Solution
StreetLight Data delivers a unified transportation analytics platform built on a proprietary Route Science® engine that ingests, cleans, and normalizes billions of connected‑vehicle observations into standardized metrics such as AADT, origin‑destination flows, multimodal volumes, speeds, and emissions factors. Users can access these insights through a self‑serve web application, bulk data extracts, or real‑time APIs, and can augment them with custom data‑science services for project‑specific analyses. The platform’s outputs are validated against permanent traffic counters (R² = 0.98) and are available at national, regional, and corridor scales, enabling agencies, businesses, and consultants to make data‑driven decisions for planning, operations, climate reporting, and market analysis.
Target Audience
Primary customers are government transportation agencies, private‑sector firms (e.g., retail, logistics, energy, EV infrastructure), and transportation consulting practices that require high‑resolution traffic and multimodal data for planning, operations, and market analysis.
Features
- Route Science® processing engine that transforms raw connected‑vehicle pings into validated traffic counts, speed profiles, and O‑D matrices for over 5 million miles of roadway.
- Multimodal coverage including vehicle, truck, bus, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian travel, with mode‑share and trip‑purpose attributes.
- Flexible delivery options: interactive StreetLight InSight® dashboard, on‑demand API (JSON/CSV), ArcGIS integration, or bulk CSV extracts for batch workflows.
- Real‑time and historical datasets spanning multiple years, supporting before‑and‑after studies and trend analysis.
- Empirical validation against permanent traffic counters and agency‑provided datasets, ensuring high accuracy (R² ≈ 0.98).
- Built‑in climate and GHG modules that calculate emissions from traffic volumes and vehicle mix.
- Custom analytics services staffed by data‑science experts for bespoke modeling, scenario testing, and report generation.
- Scalable licensing model that supports single‑project, subscription, or enterprise deployments across government, private, and consulting sectors.
