2015 Transportation Research Board Data Contest Announcement
The main objective of the 2015 Transportation Research Board Data Contest is to provide a platform for researchers, practitioners and students to learn about cutting edge statistical methods employed in the transportation field. The TRB Contest allows for a fair comparison of various statistical methods on a common dataset. Submissions are requested from all communities - researchers, practitioners and students.
For the 2015 TRB data contest we have identified research datasets on (1) Transportation Safety and (2) Travel Behavior. The authors can choose to participate in one of the two submissions. The complete details of the datasets, and contest guidelines are provided http://stmm.mcgill.ca/TRBDataContest.html
The 2015 TRB data contest is sponsored by the Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Computing Committee (ABJ70). The contest is also co-sponsored by Statistics (ABJ80), Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee (ABJ30), Committee on National Transportation Data Requirements and Programs (ABJ10), Transportation Demand Forecasting (ADB40) and Traveler Behavior and Values (ADB10)
