Supporting vision and strategy through data-as-a-service with Highways England

Ian Gordon, Highways England Head of Data Architecture and Engineering and Carl Austin, BJSS UK CTO, discuss how they have collaborated to deliver critical data foundations into Highways England, and share some key learnings from delivering similar platforms across industry.

With the explosion of digital transformation has come a wave of highly valuable data. For years organisations have been building platforms that manage and extract intelligence from this data. However it's proven difficult to get right, and stumbling can set you back months or even years of progress.

Data is everywhere in the world of mobility. Roadside sensors, GPS information, asset locations and event data are just a few potential sources. BJSS and Highways England have been working together to deliver the Highways England Data as a Service platform that is underpinning the journey to data driven organisation. A platform that is democratising highways data, supporting A.I. use cases and providing insight necessary to make data-driven decisions.
