FW: TRB Workshop Sunday Jan 23, 2011

by Lawson, Catherine T

ABJ30 Members and Friends - A message from a fellow ABJ30 Committee Member, Steve Taylor, - he has been very busy organizing an exciting Workshop for you on Sunday --- As you begin to make your travel plans to attend the TRB Annual meeting Jan 23-27, 2011, be sure to consider the following Sunday morning workshop that is very timely and can sure open some doors for the use of Private Commercial data that may be a very cost effective solution to many of the operations and planning needs. Workshop Session #133 - Sunday Jan 23, 2011 - 9:00am - 12:00pm - Hilton Columbia Hall 8 TPW11-006 Sunday, January 23, 2011, 9:00am-12:00pm, Hilton, Columbia Hall 8 Use of Private Sector and Blended Private-Public Sector Speed Data by Public Agencies for Planning and Operations Steve Taylor, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., Dallas, Texas, presiding Sponsored by Committee on Highway Traffic Monitoring (ABJ35); Committee on Statewide Transportation Data and Information Systems (ABJ20); Committee on Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems (ABJ30); Committee on Geographic Information Science and Applications (ABJ60); Committee on Regional Transportation Systems Management and Operations (AHB10); Committee on Intelligent Transportation Systems (AHB15) This workshop will address the use of private sector speed data by public agencies. Sometimes this speed data is wholly generated by the private sector; in other cases, the private sector data is blended with public sector data. Often, this private sector speed data is collected and disseminated as real-time traveler information; however, when archived unrestrictedly, this speed data has potential to be used for numerous operational and planning applications.

What types of data do you provide (speed, travel time, meta data, etc) 2. Please describe your overall data collection process (sources, aggregation, fusion, dissemination, etc) 3. Do you have procedures to compensate for drops in reliability or accuracy? 4. What are your prices based on (days, coverage, aggregation, miles, etc)? Other questions you may have of your public agency peers may include the following that will sure be discussed: 1. What type of data and performance measures were found to be most applicable and cost effective for your use? 2. What was found to be the most attractive elements of that data in deciding to acquire? 3. What have you done or plan to do to validate data accuracy? 4. How are you using the data for either operations or planning? 5. Do you plan to acquire data on a regular basis and if so what interval?
