The WPB Mobility Intelligence Platform uses advanced sensing technology and machine learning to understand where people want to go, how they are getting there, and how the city can make it easier to get around. The technology works by measuring the strength of the wireless signals from cell phones and other mobile devices, and uses those measurements to estimate the (anonymous) positions of those devices. The positions can be connected to understand how people move, and they can be compared with maps and other city data to understand where people want to go and the problems they might have getting there.

The Engineering Research Center for Smart Streetscapes (CS3) will develop a rich ecosystem of streetscape applications built upon real-time, hyper-local intelligence to advance livable, safe, and inclusive communities.
