Transportation
Amazon Web Services (AWS) works with leading transportation technologies to build cloud solutions for airports, seaports, mass transit, tollways, municipal planning, parking authorities, motor vehicle departments, traffic management departments, and departments of transportation. These transportation solutions enable constituent service improvements, making streets safer, improving mobility, and delivering savings.
Use cases
Connected IoT and urban mobility
AWS removes the complexity of implementing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions into an organization. Whether deployed in airports, seaports, tollways or parking, AWS helps transportation agencies protect and understand their data.
Customer engagement, GIS, and mapping
Open data solutions redefine and repurpose Geographic Information Systems (GIS), allowing for advanced mapping and tracking. Combine aerial imagery, elevation models, satellite imagery, and high-resolution radar to understand resource depreciation and deployment, climate monitoring, and manage the flow of traffic.
Analytics and machine learning
AWS has the capacity to store and analyze petabytes of data at the edge. You can choose from pre-trained machine learning services for computer vision, language, recommendations, and forecasting to quickly build, train, and deploy machine learning models at scale.
Crossing data barriers with data lakes
Cities are taking a new approach to deal with an increase in the volume and variety of the data. Data lakes are ideal for storing and processing data at this scale. AWS provides a comprehensive, secure, and cost-effective portfolio of services that enable customers to build their data lake in the cloud and analyze all their data with the broadest set of analytical approaches.
Key insights: ITS America
Mobility on Demand (MOD) set the stage for the ITS America Annual meeting, highlighting how today’s rapidly changing and growing transportation landscape focuses on delivering customer-centric, seamless mobility. Transit agencies and private partnerships can demonstrate how technology and mobility improves customer service and minimizes waste.

Security and Compliance
We know customers care deeply about privacy and data security. That’s why AWS gives customers ownership and control over their customer content by design through simple, but powerful tools that allow customers to determine where their customer content will be stored, secure their customer content in transit or at rest, and manage access to AWS services and resources. AWS GovCloud (US) is available to government customers, organizations in government-regulated industries, and other private entities that meet AWS GovCloud (US) requirements.

Video Analytics
Amazon Rekognition makes it easy to add image and video analysis to your applications. You just provide an image or video to the Rekognition API, and the service can identify the objects, people, text, scenes, and activities, as well as detect any inappropriate content. Amazon Rekognition also provides highly accurate facial analysis and facial recognition on images and video that you provide. You can detect, analyze, and compare faces for a wide variety of user verification, people counting, and public safety use cases.

Data Lake
Many AWS customers require a data storage and analytics solution that offers more agility and flexibility than traditional data management systems. A data lake is a new and increasingly popular way to store and analyze data because it allows companies to manage multiple data types from a wide variety of sources, and store this data, structured and unstructured, in a centralized repository.

Big Data Analytics
Despite the hype, many organizations don’t realize they have a big data problem, or they simply don’t think of it in terms of big data. In general, an organization is likely to benefit from big data technologies when existing databases and applictions can no longer scale to support sudden increases in volume, variety, and velocity of data.
Failure to correctly address big data challenges can result in escalating costs, as well as reduced productivity and competitiveness. On the other hand, a sound big data strategy can help organizations reduce costs and gain operational efficiencies by migrating existing workloads to big data technologies, as well as deploying new applications to capitalize on new opportunities.

Hybrid Cloud
In cloud computing, hybrid cloud refers to the use of both on-premises resources in addition to public cloud resources. A hybrid cloud enables an organization to migrate applications and data to the cloud, extend their datacenter capacity, utilize new cloud-native capabilities, move applications closer to customers, and create a backup and disaster recovery solution with cost-effective high availability.
