Abstract:This project develops a smartphone-based prototype system that supplements the 511 system to improve its dynamic traffic
routing service to state highway users under non-recurrent congestion. This system will save considerable time to provide crucial
traffic information and en-route assistance to travelers for them to avoid being trapped in traffic congestion due to accidents,
work zones, hazards, or special events. It also creates a feedback loop between travelers and responsible agencies that enable the
state to effectively collect, fuse, and analyze crowd-sourced data for next-gen transportation planning and management. This
project can result in substantial economic savings (e.g. less traffic congestion, reduced fuel wastage and emissions) and safety
benefits for the freight industry and society due to better dissemination of real-time traffic information by highway users. Such
benefits will increase significantly in future with the expected increase in freight traffic on the network. The proposed system also
has the flexibility to be integrated with various transportation management modules to assist state agencies to improve
transportation services and daily operations.
