ITS Strategic Plan – Dynamic Mobility Applications
§Purpose
úTo improve transportation mobility by providing travelers and transportation system operators with real-time, dynamic, cross-modal decision-making capabilities through access to a nationwide suite of applications based on improved collection and processing of real-time data, supplemented by improved communications between vehicles (transit, truck, auto and fleets) and infrastructure
§Objectives
úDevelop applications for public sector managers; infrastructure policy guidance/regulation
úMigrate to future technologies
úIdentification of data needs
§Research Questions:
úAre cross-modal applications effective and which are best for deployment?
úWhat minimum infrastructure is needed for maximum benefit?
úWhat public sector cross-modal applications can be developed using data available today and with future data and technologies?
úWhich mobility applications require public and/or private sector investments?
