Senior officials and managers want to be able to speak intelligently about specific local problem areas. A visit to the "SkyShow" enables them to do that.

Mobility audits and bottleneck inventories that repeat on a regular basis

MPO's, DOT's and toll authorities use Skycomp to help them monitor the performance of their systems. They realize a number of benefits, ranging from the intangible to the tangible. Foremost among the intangible benefits is the need of high-level officials and managers to fully comprehend the details of how their systems are operating. They want to appear knowledgeable not just on a macro level, but be able to speak intelligently when confronted about specific local problem areas. After spending several hours exploring aerial photographs of region-wide bottlenecks under fully-loaded peak conditions (by "clicking" through our interactive "SkyShow" on the internet), a manager can speak with authority and knowledge about the details of problem sites throughout a large region.

More tangible benefits include having a record of the mobility of an entire network available as a resource for contractors and public planners; providing access to before/after aerial photographs taken 1 to 3 years apart showing improvements due to projects or justifying the need for more funds; calibrating regional travel demand and air- quality models; helping to reach consensus when prioritizing projects; and helping to comply with mandates to monitor congestion and network performance. Managers understand that sensors and floating cars tell an important part of the story, but time-lapse aerial photographs taken repeatedly during peak demand periods provide unparalleled insight.
