Industry-Leading Truck Metrics Released Just in Time to Power 2025 Statewide and Regional Freight Plans
SAN FRANCISCO, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- StreetLight Data, Inc. (StreetLight), a subsidiary of Jacobs (NYSE: J) and the leading Big Data company providing insights into how people, goods, and services move, today launched its new Freight Planning product in collaboration with Altitude by Geotab. This offering accelerates and improves freight planning decisions with the industry's most robust truck activity data, available to StreetLight customers in minutes.
Using StreetLight's leading machine learning and data science, along with Altitude by Geotab's comprehensive commercial vehicle movement dataset with privacy-first and validated data, the product delivers actionable insights for agencies, businesses, and planners to power critical decision-making around freight movement. The product includes aggregate truck volumes and congestion metrics for all major roads on an easy-to-use platform, saving time and ensuring precision with comprehensive coverage. It delivers rich analytics to understand the 'why' behind truck activity, with data by weight, industry, route type, and more.
Available within the StreetLight InSight® application, planners can now contextualize truck activity with other modes of transportation, including personal vehicle, bike, and pedestrian metrics. The ability to compare the distribution of trucks to personal vehicles allows planners to see a more complete picture of travel patterns as an input for corridor planning, project prioritization, safety, signal timing, roadway design, and emissions modeling. In addition, understanding high-volume truck routes is critical for managing their outsized impact on the supply chain and economy.
"StreetLight gives planners in the public and private sectors reliable transportation metrics and analytics anytime, at their fingertips," said Laura Schewel, StreetLight CEO and Senior Vice President of Data & Digital: Transportation at Jacobs. "Whether for a Department of Transportation's bottleneck analysis, or for private sector site selection, we are excited to deliver this new, industry-leading Freight Planning product with validated truck volumes derived from Altitude by Geotab's top-tier commercial vehicle dataset early enough in the year to be used for 2025 planning. As medium- and heavy-duty trucking accounts for nearly a quarter of U.S. transportation greenhouse gas emissions, there's no better time to improve this impactful mode of transportation."
"By combining Altitude by Geotab's robust data and insights with StreetLight's advanced analytics, we're empowering decision-makers with the most comprehensive and up-to-date aggregate truck activity insights available, ultimately driving smarter, more efficient freight planning decisions, and empowering fleets with safer, more efficient roadways," said Mike Branch, Vice President of Data & Analytics at Geotab.
