Wejo Group Limited, a global leader in Smart Mobility cloud and software solutions for interconnected, electrified, and self-driving car data, announced the establishment of Wejo Labs today. Wejo Labs is a cloud-based platform that enables researchers and data scientists from universities, research organizations, and civil and traffic engineering consultancies to conduct large-scale traffic and mobility studies using accurate Connected Vehicle Data (CVD) from tens of millions of connected vehicles in the United States and Europe.
Wejo Labs can conduct traffic and mobility research by configuring CVD on vehicle events. In order to promote safety improvements, queries on this data can lead to a better understanding of how road conditions impact driving behaviors, confirm weather conditions with hyper-local data points, assess parking patterns, and recognize routes where hazardous driving happens most frequently. Users can also utilize the CVD to analyze vehicle movements for perspectives into routes and trips, improving origin-destination studies, congestion management, event planning, and high traffic locations.
“Part of our smart mobility for good mission at Wejo is to democratize access to the power of connected vehicle data. With Wejo Labs, users can easily experiment with one of the most innovative data sources in the world to create proof of concepts using innovative technology that keeps their research and data analysis ahead of the curve to help shape the future of traffic and road safety. With this platform, researchers’ leverage billions of data points to design future-proof traffic systems and drive the future of smart mobility,”
Richard Barlow, Founder and CEO of Wejo.
Wejo Labs customers can also explore, query, and analyze CVD using their choice of programming language. Data outputs can then be presented in a variety of ways, such as bar graphs, heat maps, and map layers, to interactively and visually examine data over a specific time period. The platform streamlines the process for users by importing the data for them, geofencing it depending on location and time zone, and then giving them all of the required tools for analysis, with additional help from Wejo's in-house data analytics team.
