Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), a business unit of Cubic Corporation (NYSE:CUB), today announced Matt Riddick, program manager for NextBus, Cubic’s Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) business, will participate in a panel discussion on big data at the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) 2017 Bus & Paratransit Conference at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, from May 7 – 8. Riddick and panelists will address ways for data to be used more effectively and efficiently in public transit.

Riddick will provide insight on different technological capabilities such as personalized information, virtual assistants for one-on-one customer interaction and location-aware entertainment at the following panel session:
