Join us for an engaging talk on how the MTA, America's largest bus service, tackles a major 'Big Data' challenge. Discover how our team uses GPS data from over 5,000 buses across 300+ routes to improve performance metrics. We'll dive into the complexities of matching buses to routes and stops using a cutting-edge parallelized geospatial algorithm. Learn about public data feeds, signal processing, MLOps, and more in this session that illustrates successful intra-agency collaboration.
