by Lawson, Catherine T

ABJ30 Members and Friends, We have so many great sessions, committee meetings, subcommittee meetings, poster sessions, and casual get-togethers planned for TRB Week in WDC — hope all of you can attend! I will be very honored as your Chair, to receive the Blue Ribbon Award for ABJ30, at the Thomas B. Deen Distinguished Lecture and Presentation of Awards event at the Marriott Hotel at 6:00 PM on Monday, January 13, 2014 – we have accomplished so many of our goals and overcome challenges – yet, it is clear – we have much more to do!! And, our own Data Section Chair, Joseph Schofer, Northwestern University, will be the featured speaker – a real treat for us all! Although we won't have web or phone access to our Committee Meeting on Wednesday morning, 8:00 to noon – please feel free to review the agenda (available on the TRB website and pasted below as well) and send me (lawsonc(a)albany.edu) any contributions you would like to make on these topics – we will soon be setting our goals for the upcoming year, three-year, and five-year horizons, with a our new Chair, Stacy Bricka, and want to make sure we have input from everyone. Thanks for a great six years as your Chair, following my nine years as a Committee Member, we have more challenges and successes yet to come! Safe travels – see you in WDC in the very near future!

Call for your help with USDOT Strategic Plan

by Lawson, Catherine T

ABJ30 Members and Friends, I received this special request for help with the USDOT Strategic Plan ---(see below) - hope you can take a few minutes to review and respond - very much appreciated!! Dear TRB Volunteer, As stakeholders, the U.S. Department of Transportation has asked that TRB make sure you are aware of the online dialogue taking place related to the department's strategic plan for FY 2014 to FY 2018. A posting on the U.S. DOT's website says that "we want to ensure that our strategic plan serves as a foundation for building, operating, and maintaining a safe and efficient transportation system. We also want to ensure that all of our stakeholders have an opportunity to read the plan and weigh in." For additional information on the dialogue and to join the discussion, please see yesterday's posting on the U.S. DOT's Fastlane Blog at http://www.dot.gov/fastlane/dot-opens-online-dialogue-updated-strategic-plan.

Our contribution to the 2014 Spotlight Theme

by Lawson, Catherine T

ABJ30 Members and Friends, Thanks so very much to all who provided ideas, text, and editing for our contribution to the surveymonkey collection of committee activities - We will be working on these topics at our Annual Committee Meeting as these descriptions are just the tip of our iceberg!!! Thanks again!! Data Integration and New Data Acquisition Paradigms - A breakthrough in Transportation Data Utilization, Transportation Engineering Analytics and Performance Measurement Complex infrastructure investment, planning and operations decisions require large amounts of data. Transportation data field experienced an explosion of new data sources, data collection methods and engineering analytics approaches in the past few years. High costs small sample travel time and speed data collections were replaced with low cost large sample commercial speed data from private providers. New GPS-based methods in travel surveys allowed for much higher quality data with lower respondents burden. Travel information based on cell phone data became commercially available and Bluetooth technologies became state-of-the-practice in just a few years. However what is equally if not more important is advancements in the ways transportation agencies started to approach analysis and utilization of the acquired information. Data in itself is not enough for providing well-founded knowledge about transportation system. The data from numerous often inconsistent and limited data sources needs to be integrated and transformed into knowledge. ABJ30 committee had identified new emerging data acquisition trends and transportation data integration as main directions in future transportation data management. Extensive discussions were generated by sessions on new traffic data sets at the 90th Annual TRB Meeting and a groundbreaking data integration workshop was conducted at the 91st Annual TRB Meeting. Necessity to analyze and integrate newly emerged large transportation data sets brought data integration issues to the forefront of the transportation data analysis and management. The workshop led to a number of research statements aimed at improvements of decision processes through innovative data integration methods and approaches. Archived Data Users Services (ADUS) The advent of the Archived Data User Service (ADUS) has been a significant breakthrough for ABJ30. In the 1990s, with leadership from members of a number of TRB committees, there was a realization in the transportation community that the large amounts of data generated by ITS systems - data such as freeway speeds and volumes from ramp meters, VMS messages, and vehicle location data - was useful for purposes beyond the immediate, real-time management of transportation systems. This data is valuable for non real-time purposes, including evaluating and refining the performance of those real-time traffic management applications, informing the planning process, research and policy-making decisions. In 1998, the FHWA created an addendum to the ITS Program Plan to articulate the need and vision for ADUS for the "collection, manipulation, retention, and distribution" of ITS data. ADUS systems have been created around the country, including publicly funded, university-based archives and commercial archives. These ADUS systems store and visualize a wide variety of multi-modal data from freeway ramp meter speeds and volumes and VMS data, to include arterial signal data, transit data and more. The victory of ADUS is that transportation data archives, considered new technology fifteen years ago, are now considered mainstream technology. The initial goal of understanding archival and preservation of ITS data has been completed; however there is much more work to do on expanding both the scope of the data archives and the analytical capabilities of those archives, to ensure that the data are useful for future performance-based transportation programs. Census and New Sources: BIG DATA and OPEN DATA One of the foundational data sources for transportation planning, originally conducted every ten years, now is being collected continuously (American Community Survey). For the first time it is possible to get free detailed demographic data for the entire nation every year. The new small-area products represent a paradigm shift in evidence-based practice. Up until this point it was accepted that small-area analysis might use data that was several years old. Now there is a growing expectation that data will always be current and with enough variables to tailor the analysis to each unique project. This trend will continue into the future with the release of small-area work flow data from the CTPP project. This data set will allow the finest level of analysis to date for journey to work, travel demand models, and workplace characteristics. The convergence of pervasive sensing, wireless connectivity, location-aware technologies and social media promises to bring a sea-change in the way Big Data and Open Data can be designed, managed and used. Sensors in the transportation system, when integrated with those in the utility, health, energy, weather and environmental management infrastructure, have the potential to foster novel new ways of improving livability, citizen engagement and smart and sustainable cities. The Computational Transportation and Society subcommittee provides a forum to stimulate discussion on fundamental computational, design and policy innovations needed to integrate transportation to the rapidly transforming ubiquitous information society. The Future As our urban centers grow and attempt to thrive, data will provide unique understandings of how transportation systems serve the needs of passengers and freight. ADUS archives will become increasingly important in the coming years with the advent of MAP-21 and its focus on performance-based transportation measures, and the increasing emphasis on the need to more efficiently operate and manage the nation's transportation infrastructure. The creation of programs that access Census data directly through the internet, such as TIGERweb and the Census API, will usher in a new era of government transparency and universal data access. A complicated data storage and online content delivery platform is no longer needed to create online maps or demographic analysis tools. Someone with programming experience does not need much more than a text file and some web space to make Census data accessible to the public in new and exciting ways. In addition, data integration and new forms of urban data, including General Transit Feed Specifications (GTFS) and GTFS real-time (GTFS-R), for transit systems and GPS data that provides trace data on moving vehicles (now part of an FHWA program to provide information from GPS to MPOs and states for planning). Cloud-based technologies will make it possible to achieve more accurate, accessible, and agile urban transportation data and data services for transportation planners, researchers, and consumers. Noteworthy Activity ABJ30, along with National Data (ABJ10) and Statewide Data (ABJ20), sponsors a special session at the Annual Meetings: the Travel Data Users Forum. It is designed to provide a venue for the discussion of important or emerging issues regarding passenger travel data. The Forum fosters a dialog among all data providers and users, helps identify sources of representative and applicable local and national data, serves as a venue to identify and discuss emerging issues, and encourages interaction within the passenger-travel-data community. The Forum began in 2005 and previous topics included: * 2014- Shifts in Travel Behavior * 2013- Long Distance Travel * 2012- Health and Transportation data * 2011- Data Sources for Livability * 2010- Pedestrian and Bicycle data * 2009- VMT: A Focus on Vehicle Miles Traveled * 2008- Energy: How will the rising cost of energy affect travel behavior? * 2007- Employment Data: Public and private sources * 2006- NHTS and the need for travel behavioral data * 2005- NHTS, CTPP 2000, FactFinder, LEHD The Forum is designed as panel session geared toward engaging the audience in an open discussion. It is broken down into 3 distinct phases, the keynote kick-off, panel remarks and the audience discussion. It is coordinated by a moderator but tends to be very free forum. As a result of the discussion forum research proposals have emerged, TRB subcommittees spurred on, professional contact made and data issues explored. 2014 will be the 10th anniversary of the Forum.

FW: TRB Transportation Data Competition 2014

by Lawson, Catherine T

ABJ30 Members and Friends - It is time to spread the word about the Transportation Data Competition - please help us make this another big success!!! Call for Participation - 2014 TRB Annual Meeting Workshop Transportation Data Competition Sponsoring Committee: ABJ80 Statistical Methods Co-Sponsoring Committees: ABJ00 Data Section ABJ70 Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Computing Applications ABJ20 Statewide Transportation Data and Information Systems ABJ50 Information Systems and Technology AND10 Vehicle User Characteristics AND30 Simulation and Measurement of Operator Performance Call Description: Successfully understanding road user behavior is essential for the design, implementation, and operation of a transportation system. The use of complex datasets generated from simulators and instrumented vehicles have attracted considerable attention by both transportation researchers and practitioners, with analysis efforts ranging from classical statistics to a vast array of computational intelligence (CI) techniques. In an era of rapid technological and scientific advances, the transportation community experiences an increase in data collection and availability, along with powerful analytical tools. Nevertheless, transportation data often pose considerable challenges to researchers and practitioners: differences in data measurement techniques and frequencies, seasonality, local trends, appropriate assumptions, outliers, zero and missing values, and so on. The demands for data by transportation services have become increasingly complex and more demanding; for example, real time control and Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) often require short-term predictions of transportation conditions based on existing data. In this context, the Transportation Research Board is pleased to announce the 2014 Transportation Data Competition workshop, to be held at the 93rd TRB Annual meeting. The scope of the competition is to evaluate the appropriateness of various data analytic methodologies - be they statistics, artificial intelligence, or advanced data visualization- for forecasting trends in safety, with particular attention to missing and incomplete data. The objective is to identify modelling tools in statistics and artificial intelligence for forecasting and to disseminate knowledge on "best practices" in transportation data modeling. The dataset used for this competition will be based on a data set on driver behavior, using data from the National Advanced Driving Simulator (NADS), in which drivers traverse an intersection with a traffic signal that may change from green to yellow phase. This data analysis competition is open to all areas of statistics, biostatistics, econometrics and computational intelligence. Researchers, as individuals or groups will participate using the data set provided. Participants will present their results at the 93rd TRB annual meeting workshop, devoted to the Transportation Data Competition to be held Sunday January 12, 2014. Awards will be given to researchers and researcher teams based on: 1) appropriateness of predictions; 2) completeness of a short paper detailing the approach used, advantages and disadvantages, and results.
