The Transportation Economic Analysis (TEA) office at Transport Canada requires an access to a web-based data tool to download and process passenger and commercial vehicle movement data. TEA is also seeking technical and pricing information on web-based data analytics tool for analysis, visualization and reporting on performance metrics on passenger and commercial vehicle data.
The output products should support Canada-wide multimodal system performance monitoring which is part of the TEA mandate under the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Task Group on performance measurements and capacity utilization.
TEA wishes to obtain access to a web based data access tool from a service provider, who acquires passive data on passenger and commercial vehicle movements from other data sources (e.g. cellular, smartphone, GPS, Bluetooth,etc.). In addition, the service provider should be the owner of the link-level speed data. TEA and licensed users must be able to access and download the data to create reports and provide analytics; and, must be able to retain the data in the report format in perpetuity. TEA requires the ability to process, analyse, and report aggregated metrics on the data through the Canadian Centre on Transportation Data; a joint Statistics Canada /Transport Canada initiative funded in Budget 2017 and providing monthly statistics to Canadians on the transportation system.
