FYI-from our Joint Subcommittee. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: 2007 ADUS subcommittee minutes Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2007 15:26:56 -0500 From: <Ralph.Gillmann(a)dot.gov> The Joint Subcommittee of the Highway Traffic Monitoring (AFD30) and Urban Transportation Data and Information Systems (ABJ30) Committees met at the 2007 TRB meeting. Attached are the draft committee minutes. Please send any corrections or changes.Several items were promised at the meeting and are as follows: 1. Should we have a mid-year meeting? If so, where? At the Joint Summer Conference - July 7-9, 2007, Renaissance Chicago Hotel, Chicago, Illinois? (http://trb.org/conferences/2007/Joint%20Summer/2007SummerConfFlyer.pdf) The ITS America annual meeting - June 4-6, 2007, Palm Springs Convention Center, Palm Springs, California? Unless there is significant support for a mid-year meeting, we will not meet.2. A link to the ITS Standards Forum for ADUS: the forums are at http://serv4.itsware.net/bb/index.php - scroll down and select the ADUS Archiving Data forum near the bottom - anyone can view but (free) registration is necessary to post. 3. "The scope of this subcommittee includes all aspects of the archiving and management of highway traffic data collected via intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and other systems designed for traffic operations. The focus is on management of data over time: data transfer, fusion, structure, storage, documentation, dissemination, etc. for analysis of variations, trends, patterns, etc. This is incorporated in the National ITS Architecture’s Archived Data User Service (ADUS)."I suggest we clarify whether the scope includes incident data.4.
