How Edge and Fog Compute is Enabling Opportunities for Big Data

June 1, 2018

The Internet of Things (IoT) is generating an unprecedented volume and variety of data. Data for transportation applications - including smart traffic signals, road-weather information systems, traffic sensors, and vehicles themselves - are no exception to this rule. For these data to enable a true sea change in transportation operations and crash reduction, they must be acquired, filtered, normalized, and aggregated in real-time, and the amount and type of data sent back to the data center should be vastly different than the data collected and analyzed in real-time. Edge and fog compute is necessary to enable big data applications to have a true and positive impact on transportation planning, programming, and system operations.
