Agenda• Why focus on demographics• Data views• Processes & Methods Overview• Samples
Why focus on demographics
• Business focus on if or where to open stores• Product inventories• Demographics analytics are a foundation for:
– Elected officials win/loss– Projects approved/stopped– Funding increases approved/stopped– Service/ridership performance– Services improvements– Route changes– Route schedules– Capturing additional market-share
Big Data Analytics
• Demographic datasets– Census
• Ridership studies• Surveys• Trip data• Machine logic to analyze video feeds• Store and analyze from geodatabase
Key data views or datasets
Assets• Asset Management Overlay• Service profiles
– Modes– Routes– Schedules
• Maintenance Yards• Evacuation Routes• Service impedances
– Incidents– Construction– Weather impacts
Services/Ridership• Ridership profile by route• New service by user group• Service changes by user
group• Demographics
– Transit dependency– User groups by route– Ridership peak by route/day– Mobility requirements– Walkability
3D Demographics Analysis• GeoDB design &
integration• Population density
growth• Transportation
model output aligned to TAZ’s
• Route Service Alternatives
• Enables stakeholders to visualize from one common dataset
• More readily understand constraints and interact with dynamic view of data
3D Demographics Analysis
• GeoDB design & integration
• Collected building footprints
• Overlay with census and ridership data
• Overlay with route and service plans to optimize service/market capture
• Analyze over time once service begins
• Colors depicting potential customer base
Route Demographics• GeoDB design &
integration• Custom developed
Geoprocess tools• Station catchments• Demographics data on
service use• Route analysis on
preferred service• 3D catchments
prepared for community workshop
• 3D ArcScene model files prepared for meeting
3D Metro Ridership• GeoDB design &
integration• Custom
geoprocess tools to evaluate and display selected ridership characteristics for service planners
• Route and service analytics prove justification for service changes/ enhancements
• Public and elected officials can see the same views and common data analysis
Transit Service Time-slider• GeoDB design &
integration• Custom developed
GeoTools (3 Modules – 4 tools)
• Tool evaluates and provides Conflict Alerts service planners or managers/operations, external agencies to alert on construction impacts, route closures, incidents or requested permits against transit service impacts from demographics overlay
• Helps provide viable route alternatives and potential ridership impacts
