Our insights blend quality data, deep experience, and careful consideration of the world around us.
Insights draw connections and consider impacts through the lens of industry trends and conditions. They turn data into direction. We’re always considering how the behaviors of people and the systems around them are evolving and how to use these findings to shape a more successful future for the world around us.
Blog posts supply careful consideration of industry trends and conditions.
Innovative Approaches to Big Data: How to Leverage Big Data in a Volatile Market to Improve Decision-Making
The monetization of passively collected data and data not traditionally collected for transportation research has transformed how agencies approach mobility challenges. The scale of these datasets enables new analytical approaches and insights into travel behavior…
Strengthening Scenario Planning: How VisionEval Helps Planners Quantify the Measures that Matter
State departments of transportation and regional agencies face increasingly complex planning challenges. How are internal and external factors changing? What is the right mix of strategies to address those and make progress toward our mobility,…
Q&A with Joel Freedman
Travel model development involves creating sophisticated simulations of transportation systems to predict travel patterns and behaviors. These simulations enable planners and policymakers to make informed decisions that enhance communities’ mobility and improve outcomes. RSG’s experts…
