Track E

Agencies continue to search for innovative methods or approaches to electronically share data and information involving the conditions, services, and multi-modal options associated with managing traffic on the surface transportation system within the roadway digital ecosystem. This track will explore a range of issues agencies may consider with sharing and using data electronically with emerging sources, third-party service providers, connected and automated vehicles, connected travelers, or with different types of events (e.g., construction work zones).

SESSION 4E Risks and opportunities of applying control based on externally sourced data

Wednesday, July 2 | 11:00 – 12:30
Conference Room: 2nd FLOOR

Traffic management requires real-time data from various sources and devices. There is a great opportunity to incorporate data from other public and private sources to create new applications and improve traffic management strategies. This also means that it is becoming more common for some of these sources to be from external sources. When systems and agencies use externally sourced data there is less degree of control over the availability, quality control, and accuracy of that data source. This raises risks in making traffic management control decisions with these data sources. This session will explore both the opportunities and risks that arise in using emerging data sources.
