Abstract:The purpose of this research seeks to understand the functions and the benefits of social
networked transportation (SNT), the processes that make SNT possible, and the institutional
innovations needed to facilitate those processes. First, this research examines the design of
procedures for standards-setting, using real-time transit data standards from both public and
private organizations as a set of case studies. Secondly, this research has identified and analyzed
an emerging data network in transportation, traffic management centers and third-party data
providers via a web-based survey of TMC managers. Thirdly, this research pursues
understanding foundational principles of and strategies for social networking, taking lessons from
successful social networks in the IT sector (i.e. the Internet), and lessons from emergent social
networks in other sectors (i.e. energy). Finally, a graduate level course and an application
developer conference called Transportation Camp South are discussed as methods to move into
the future. It is expected that the results of this research will interest a wide audience, from
transportation researchers to field practitioners.
