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.)
