TRB Webinar: State of the Art Use of Probe Vehicle Data
169777

TRB Webinar: State of the Art Use of Probe Vehicle Data

TRB conducted a webinar on December 9, 2013 from 2:00 p.m.- 3:30 p.m. ET that explored state-of-the-art uses of probe vehicle data by state departments of transportation. A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDH) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual.

Webinar presenters described data visualization applications used to transform probe vehicle data into actionable information that is utilized in decision making, performance measurement, and performance management. In addition, presenters covered multiple types of probe vehicle data from different data providers that are utilized in applications ranging from congestion and mobility management, work zone management, and large scale event management (e.g., snow storms).

Webinar Presenters:
  • Dipak Patel, South Carolina Department of Transportation
  • Jason Firman, Michigan Department of Transportation
  • Michael L. Pack, University of Maryland, Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory
  • Kelly Wells, North Carolina Department of Transportation
Moderated by: Nikola Ivanov, University of Maryland, Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory

Webinar Outline:
  • Overview and introductions
  • Performance measurements derived from the data and unique ways of visualizing data on rural and arterial roads
  • Michigan DOT's use of probe vehicle data in measuring regain time (i.e., time to return to normal after a large-scale weather event), calculating user delay costs, and determining specific performance goals
  • Use of the Work Zone Monitoring application that utilizes probe vehicle data in real time to measure congestion and mobility in a work zone and provide operators with information to better manage a work zone
  • North Carolina DOT's use of Vehicle Probe Project Suite application to analyze mobility across multiple corridors and identify problem locations
The first 60 minutes of the webinar is for presentations and the final 30 minutes is reserved for audience questions.

Learning Objectives:
  • To understand innovative uses of probe vehicle data, available applications, visualizations, performance measures, and management techniques that can be utilized and applied.
  • To understand standard performance measures such as travel time index, buffer time index, and regain time.
