• 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.
