Background
When it comes to goods/services and freight vehicles using the road network, there is not a lot to know other than economic data. Transport authorities wanted to further their understanding of these vehicles so that they can understand how the road network is being used and how it can be used better in the future.
Solution
Compass IoT first selected vehicles by make/model and made sure they were either prime movers or worked with goods and services and then analysed their movements within 79 zones in South-East Queensland. This included areas like Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Ipswich, Logan and the Sunshine Coast.

Results
Using connected vehicular data, transport authorities were able to look at volume counts travel times, and distances. The data also accounted for when drivers stopped and routes.
