10. Smarter transportation: Client transformations
Stockholm implemented an intelligent toll system in the city center, which resulted in 20% less traffic, 40% lower emissions and 40,000 additional users of the public transportation system.
To encourage citizens to use multiple modes of transportation and make it easier to align the cost of transit with its impact on the environment, the Singapore Land Transport Authority implemented fare management with smart cards that can be used to pay for buses, trains, taxis, road-use charging and parking.

Standard Reporting
Ad hoc reporting
Query/drill down
Alerts
Forecasting
Simulation
Predictive modeling
Optimization
What exactly is the problem?
What will happen next if ?
What could happen … ?
What if these trends continue?
What actions are needed?
How many, how often, where?
What happened?
Stochastic Optimization
Descriptive
(Cognos)
Prescriptive
(ILOG)
Predictive
(SPSS)
How can we achieve the best outcome?
How can we achieve the best outcome including the effects of variability?
Cognos – descriptive (necessary for any of the others. Know data, know what is there, what is real, correct. facts… REQuIRED. Use SPSS
Or SAS to pull out patterns for new relationships - % of customers in this zip code who respond to postcard coupon; what is predicted revenue.
Plan for optimize revenue. Looked at data, generate prediction and constraints to prescribe a plan.
SPSS – predictive
ILOG - Prescription
Keyboard materials, marketing, pricing, call centers, - inferred if you drop price rev goes up – trial and error (not causality), refine model ‘cause
don’t … use technique. How take advantage of appearing to be true.
Predictive modeling: Classification
Simulation: Also physical modeling, “What will happen if … ?”
Forecasting: Time series analysis
Alerts: Current conditions suggest problem is or will occur
