Many public agencies and academic institutions now have access to large-scale roadway and mobility datasets, including network-wide speed information and a wide range of roadway attributes. When effectively used, these massive datasets can significantly enhance transportation planning, analysis, and modelling. However, despite growing data availability, limited internal resources or technical expertise often prevent organizations from fully leveraging their potential.
To help bridge this gap, a webinar series will showcase how different organizations are using massive datasets to support planning, modelling, and decision-making. Presenters will share their experience, tools, methodologies, and key lessons learned.
Organized by the TAC Transportation Modelling User Group.

Presentations:
Aggregating HERE data for congestion analyses
Presenter: Raphael Dumas, City of Toronto
Although HERE real-time traffic data has very fine spatial and temporal resolution, the number of observations can vary considerably depending on traffic volumes. To simplify data requests, analyses, visualization and publishing to Open Data, the City of Toronto performs a network simplification and aggregation process. This presentation will describe the development of the simplified network, outline the aggregation techniques used, and explain the filtering process implemented to produce higher-confidence average speed estimates.
Valorisation des données HERE : Applications multiples
Presenter: Marc-André Tessier, MTMD
Le ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable du Québec présentera comment les données massives de vitesses HERE sont valorisées pour soutenir la planification, la modélisation et l’analyse de la circulation sur le réseau routier. La présentation décrira la méthodologie, les outils développés et plusieurs exemples de résultats concrets, tout en abordant les défis et les perspectives de développement à venir.
