Every day, data and analytics affect our lives in ways we can't imagine. For example, you can see this when you sign up for a video call, pay for a train ticket, or order a cappuccino over the phone. Or view spending trends in your bank account via the app or website. Data analytics also works in ways you don't see — ways that make your life easier, safer, more convenient and more fun — especially when it comes to getting you where you want to be. Indeed, data analysis reduces your travel time, manages traffic jams, and creates safer and more affordable ways to use public transportation. When you're waiting to get on a bus or commuter train getting to work in the morning, your phone app can tell you if the journey is on schedule and exactly how many minutes until the next bus or train arrives at your stop. Do you use apps to find out how to get to a hotel or landmark when visiting a new city? Data analysis and smart apps make it all possible. Also, when winter weather occurs and roads need to be cleaned, data and analytics can help cities send additional drivers to harder-hit areas that need to be cleared using real-time data, as well as informing you when your street will be plowed. Smart technology helps. Improve many aspects of your daily life. Check out these examples of East Bank Technologies hidden technologies that help make your life a little easier. People want a clear idea of the travel options and travel times available, and cities want to increase public availability and usage. Transit. With Transition and data power, users can see stations, routes, service alerts and even enable location-based push notifications. Namely, Transition technology allows to accurately predict the arrival times of stops on transit routes. And by integrating Bluetooth beacons, cities can help visually impaired drivers navigate the transportation system safely. Transition also collects important business information for municipalities, including activity reports and other relevant statistics. CABIN: Attempting to call a taxi during the rush hour or after spending the night can be frustrating. However, with phone apps and other new smart tools, operators and drivers can pinpoint hotspots and easily determine where and when to park their cars, optimizing services and helping passengers find their journey faster. These tools use Cabin technology to analyze historical and near real-time vehicle location and travel demand data, allowing them to map underserved areas as well as popular destinations and destinations. Cabin benefits, not only cab drivers and their customers; it also provides cities with important information to help them regulate local taxi services: a key feature of Cabin is the ability to collect timely and accurate information about each trip and report it to the municipality for analysis and execution. Snow: Today's unpredictable and often extreme winter weather requires rapid reaction from bustling cities, whose inhabitants expect roads to be plowed quickly and efficiently. Simply put, cities need to reduce the impact of bad weather on their daily journeys and work by bringing snow blowers and other machinery to the road as quickly as possible. We've seen how Uber and Lyft have changed travel sharing. Snow also allows cities to respond to peak times and high-demand areas and use additional contractors to strengthen their snow clearing fleets. With Snow, cities can optimize snow removal to reduce truck downtime and save money - and residents will know which routes have been cleared, who are scheduled to travel again, and when it is safe to travel again. -Large city publishing requirements can be a challenge for local authorities, but Inspection technology makes the task a little easier to manage. This technology allows municipalities to streamline the way they manage inspections of housing and construction projects, providing a convenient way to send and track inspectors. Armed with GPS-enabled Inspection -enabled tablets, inspectors perform their duties and report their findings, while administrators have easy access to real-time tracking of the inspector's location to increase productivity and reduce response times to urgent inspections. Like Snow, Inspection gives flexibility to municipal forces and promotes the concert economy. Local governments can train citizen inspectors and when demand is most in demand, use technology to increase municipal strength and optimize service delivery by engaging additional contractors on behalf of the government. The next time you need to take a taxi or hop on a city bus or need a plow to clear a snowy street, rest assured that data analysis will help. Smart technology is already everywhere, making everyday life a little more enjoyable.
