Jacobs has acquired StreetLight Data, a mobility analytics solution provider – marking the company’s second strategic acquisition in recent months and building on its strong foundation of existing technology and #data capabilities.
StreetLight pioneered the use of Big Data analytics to help transportation professionals and data analysts measure, analyze and improve transportation. Applying proprietary machine-learning algorithms to location data from mobile phones, vehicle navigation devices and IoT, StreetLight sheds light on travel patterns and makes them available on-demand via the world’s first SaaS platform for mobility, StreetLight InSight®. From measuring traffic volumes to optimizing new infrastructure to planning for autonomous vehicles, StreetLight powers more than 10,000 projects every month. StreetLight was acquired by Jacobs but continues to operate as an independent software organization.
