ITS Strategic Plan – Real-Time Data Capture and Management
§Purpose
úTo accelerate the implementation of the next generation of transportation system improvements by providing real-time, cross-modal (bus, rail, parking, roadway) information in all 50 states that will improve energy conservation, traveler information, safety, and reduce congestion
§Objective
úDevelop data environments & conduct cross-modal demonstrations to show value of ubiquitous real-time multi-modal information
§Research Questions:
úWhat data is available today from both traditional and non-traditional multi-modal sources; what is its quality?
úHow can probe data be integrated with traditional multi-modal data sources to support traffic/transit/freight applications?
