Fysical & Streamr Strengthen Partnership to Build Traffic Models for Country of Georgia

Fysical and Streamr are strengthening their partnership by using Fysical’s real-time location data to build traffic models for the country of Georgia.

Whenever a city or town wants to build a new road, bridge, intersection, or highway, they start by building what’s called a ‘traffic model.’

Traffic models are used to justify government investment decisions for infrastructure spending. The typical way of doing this is paying for expensive in-person surveys with large margins for error. Fysical is solving this problem with Streamr by providing its real-time mobile location data to the Streamr marketplace so that governments can build highly accurate traffic models from citizens in transit.

Head of Partnerships at Streamr, Mr. Ben Sheppard mentioned: “Structuring an effective traffic model of Georgia using datasets obtained via the Streamr marketplace is an eccentric instance of how Streamr is facilitating data to be used in an improved way. We are breaking down the barriers between data producers and users, to facilitate new ways of delivering traditional services in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. We see a huge market for this type of work, which is why we felt it important to undertake this pilot and show the transport planning community what can be made possible through Streamr Marketplace.”

Fysical is proud to work with Streamr to help governments make better decisions for their citizens. The old way of building traffic models using in-person surveys is expensive and slow. Fysical’s ability to use compliant location data from individuals is a great way to empower citizens to make their cities more efficient, which can lead to fewer carbon emissions. We’re proud to work with Streamr to make the world a better place.
