SMET - Acquiring Better Data (Private Sector, Third Party, Fused Datasets)
Funding
Please provide a funding amount.
Research Period
Please provide a research period.
Description
Please provide a brief description of the project.
Literature Search Summary
Please provide a literature summary for the project.
Objectives
- Seek better data from the private sector and third parties, and fuse this data with DOT data to generate new comparisons and insights.
- Collect and develop datasets for mobility and traffic.
- Explore the availability of new datasets and identify ways to use datasets with DOT data for calibration of QA/QC.
- Compare the scope, availability, reliability, and accuracy of privately available transportation mobility and traffic datasets sold by companies such as INRIX, Teralytics, Streetlight, etc.
- Update and improve data definitions, especially for traffic. (State DOTs often measure traffic in discrete measures like AADT, but people are increasingly using a blend of modes to move from origin to destination, and traffic data should reflect that.)
