What is OpenPaths Patterns?

OpenPaths Patterns is a web-based mobility data and analytics application for transportation analysts to harness the power of big-data for better decision-making. With OpenPaths Patterns, you can mine travel mobility data to understand where, when, and how people travel anywhere in the United States. OpenPaths Patterns makes transportation planning and traffic engineering analyses fast and efficient. It enables agencies to directly analyze and comprehend mobility data, while also facilitating data exports for further external analysis via travel demand models, traffic simulations, or other mobility analysis tools. OpenPaths Patterns has a broad range of use cases, including:

• Travel demand modeling and calibration
• Corridor studies
• Highway performance management
• VMT calculations
• Traffic simulation
• Traffic impact studies
• Tollway usage

Key Features

Maps Inspect and filter origin-destination travel flows and traffic volumes across multiple dimensions, such as trip purpose, time of day, and day type. Datasets Create subarea data extracts, including travel flows between external gates. Quickly generate data needed for a subarea travel demand model, including a routable network, external station centroids and connectors, zones, and origin-destination trip tables. Analytics Compute mobility analytics to answer the most common transportation and traffic engineering questions including select-link and select-zone analysis, corridor discovery and road VMT statistics.  Exports Save data for local use in standard text and GIS formats using easy-to-use export tools. Transparency Ensure confidence and context for your decision-making with clear data quality reports, including the most common goodness of fit statistics for your region.
