Quantifying Cut Through Traffic Measures in a California City

CASE STUDY

Solving Cut-Through "Waze Effect" Traffic

With before-and-after analysis, Big Data can show which solutions work and which don’t.

Analyzing cut-through traffic restrictions is difficult because volume data is expensive and time-consuming to collect. Surveys suffer from small sample sizes and stated preference discrepancies.

In this case study you’ll learn:

How Big Data collected actual point-to-point trip information
Where cut-through was causing congestion
What analysis proved impact of restrictions
Why constituents supported the results
