Excerpt:
Uber Technologies Inc. wants to help Atlanta tackle one of its biggest headache - traffic congestion. The ride-hailing service plans to bring a new tool called Uber Movement to the Big A. The web-based dashboard uses Uber trip data in a city to provide insight into traffic chokepoints, traffic flow and mass-transit use. The data is currently available to city planners, academics and private citizens in six cities - Boston, Washington DC, Manila, Philippines; Sydney, Australia; and Bogota, Colombia… The data Uber provides is interesting, but not important, said Jennifer Clark, director of the Center for Urban Innovation at Georgia Tech.
