As the new decade unfolds, new sources and uses of data will move transportation planning/research in new directions. This session provides a window into these emerging areas including: comparisons between usual and actual mode shares, using the National Household Travel Survey (NHTS); the examination of the relationship between graphical and topological features of traffic analysis zones (TAZs); and fuzzy binarization for vehicle license plate imaging.

Travel time data has become increasingly important to transportation agencies and the private sector, leading to a number of innovations in how this data is collected, processed, and used. This session will explore emerging methods of collecting travel time data, with a focus on probe vehicle-based methods like Bluetooth MAC address matching, automatic vehicle identification, and GPS equipped probe vehicles. Innovative modeling approaches estimate travel times and speeds by fusing probe data.

Use of Private Sector and Blended Private-Public Sector Speed Data by Public Agencies for Planning and Operations<javascript:submitform('','20183','','session_details.asp','','','','')>
Steve Taylor<javascript:submitform('25497','','','person_details.asp','','','','')>, Jacobs Engineering Group Inc., presiding
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.

Dear colleagues:
The Research and Innovation Technology Administration (RITA) is looking for a highly talented Transportation Specialist with a passion for transportation data and analysis to join the Intelligent Transportation Systems Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) as the IntelliDrive Data and Weather Program Manager. This is an opportunity to work on one of the most exciting multimodal programs at the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT). Located at the U.S. DOT headquarters in Washington, DC, the ITS JPO manages, coordinates and supports research programs focused on applying advanced technologies to transform the performance of our nation's surface transportation system.
Here is a link to the vacancy announcement which closes on Tuesday, September 13, 2010:
http://jobview.usajobs.gov/GetJob.aspx?JobID=90399816&JobTitle=Transportati…
We are seeking a talented transportation leader who can work with all levels of the ITS JPO staff, high-ranking officials and others outside the agency to explore the innovative methods of data collection and use of advanced data applications in the transportation environment. A self-starter with expert knowledge of data capture and proven program management principles is a must. Strong coordination and leadership capabilities are needed to be successful in this important role. A mix of strong creativity combined with institutional and technical knowledge is a must. Ability to identify strategic program needs and develop objectives based on Administration and U.S. DOT policy, Congressional direction, and knowledge gained through the national ITS program planning process is required.
The ITS-JPO IntelliDrive Data and Weather Program Manager will manage multimodal programs such as congestion relief, road weather management, and data capture and data management applications to provide technical leadership for state-of-practice and state-of-the-art data collection methods for continuous improvement of our nation's surface transportation system.
If you know someone interested in this Washington, DC based position that has the experience and proven results in the above requested areas, please encourage them to apply under the attached vacancy announcement. We are looking for a diverse pool of qualified candidates.
Please keep in mind that the new hiring reforms recently announced by President Obama will shorten the hiring timeline and will eliminate essay-style questions during the initial application submission. Therefore please spread the word about this exciting opportunity and encourage anyone interested to apply quickly. Thanks for your support and best regards,
Peter Appel

Hi ABJ30 Members and Friends,
First I want to apologize if you have received this message twice but I
wanted to include the people that attended the mid-year meeting and I am not
sure are on the ABJ30 list serve. To get on the list serve (and manage your
membership), follow the directions at:
http://www.trburbandata.org/Home/friendslist
Second, thank you to everyone who attended the mid-year meeting in person or
through the web meeting. We had over 30 attendees! I will be uploading the
minutes shortly, but the agenda and several attachments can be found at:
http://www.trburbandata.org/Home/2010-mid-year-meeting
Third, our biggest priority task right now is to prepare a brief report
about how our committee's activities are related to TRB's critical issues.
WE WANT YOUR INPUT. For example, your quick thoughts on how data is part of
any of these issues will be ultra-helpful. Your quick thoughts on how our
committee's activities and committee members' activities relate is
ultra-helpful. Please send any and all ideas by noon on July 8 so that we
can compile these as input to the Section report. (Please reply to the
email NOW.) This may feel like a square peg in a round hole activity, but
it may be that all transportation research funding goes to these identified
issues and not anything else (like livability or data), so your input at
this stage is important. Please help. The nine TRB critical issues are:
Congestion
Energy
Infrastructure
Finance
Equity
Emergencies
Safety
Institutions
Human Capital
The updated TRB Critical Issues report is found at:
http://onlinepubs.trb.org/Onlinepubs/general/CriticalIssues09.pdf
Please respond with your ideas to the list serve or me (
emily.parkany(a)gmail.com) or Kate Lawson (lawsonc(a)albany.edu ).
Thank you,
Emily
