Problem
Context information is every where…
Why aren’t we using it for
Transportation Asset Management??
Despite the overwhelming amount of
context and sensory information
including social, environmental,
demographic, device, etc., we still
largely use mobile devices in the same
stationary way as desktops and
laptops have been used for decades.
What if Your Transportation Assets could talk to you?
