Real-Time Data Capture and Management
  • Vision
  • Active acquisition and systematic provision of integrated, multi-source data to enhance current operational practices and transform future surface transportation systems management


  • Objectives
  • Enable systematic data capture from connected vehicles (automobiles, transit, trucks), mobile devices, and infrastructure
  • Develop data environments that enable integration of data from multiple sources for use in transportation management and performance measurement
  • Reduce costs of data management and eliminate technical and institutional barriers to the capture, management, and sharing of data
5
Data Environment
Concept
  • Data environment:
  • well-organized collection of data of specific type and quality
  • captured and stored at regular intervals from one or more sources
  • systematically shared in support of one or more applications


6
Key Issues in Defining A Data Environment
7
Data Sources and Uses
8
Data Aggregation
and Structure
9
Data Environment Evolution
10
Elements of Data Capture and Management
  • Meta data:
    • Provision of well-documented data environment
  • Virtual warehousing:
    • Supports access to data environment and forum for collaboration
  • History/context:
    • Objectives of data assembly
  • Governance:
    • Rules under which data environment can be accessed and procedures for resolving disputes
11
 Each Data Environment
Supports Multiple Apps
  • Overlapping data needs and
  • synergy between application concepts
12
Federated
Data Environments

14
Projected Program Outcomes
  • Establish a system of IntelliDrive federated data environments
  • Broad collaboration supporting data environment utilization
    • Leverage data to support high-priority application development
    • Encourage technical exchange between researchers
  • Implementation of data management processes representing best practices

 Data Capture Prototype Data Environment
  • https://datacapture.noblis.org/


  • Data (and meta-data) from the Michigan IntelliDrive Test Bed
    • Documented probe data samples from recent tests (POC/NCAR)
    • Open source analytical tools
    • Simulated 100% market penetration data for the test bed
      contributed by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI)
    • Forums for researchers to register projects, flag erroneous data, contribute analyses and data views
  • Prototype objectives
    • Refine the Data Environment concept
    • Test key hypotheses about governance and user collaboration
17

18
Snapshots Collected by Roadside Equipment (RSE)
19
Trajectory Conversion Analysis (TCA) Program
  • Open Source Python program
  • Inputs
    • Vehicle Trajectory Files (Actual or Simulated)
    • RSE locations and range
    • Parameters for snapshot generation & transmission
  • Outputs
    • Snapshots generated and transmitted to RSEs
    • Snapshots discarded for buffer overflow or RSE gap
    • Probe segment number changes

Upcoming Activities
  • Precise nature, extent and timing are not yet known, however, the program expects to procure assistance in the following areas:
    • Test Data Sets
      • Assemble already collected data sets featuring multi-source data collected using emerging technologies
      • Supports early application research
    • Data Environment Development
      • Develop and make available data environments supporting high-priority applications research and development
    • Federated System Data Manager
      • Connect, foster and manage system of federated data environments
