• Abstract:
  Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) acquire, process, and integrate data in a variety of ways to support real-time operations. ; Crowdsourcing has been identified as one of the top trends and technologies that traffic management agencies can adapt and take ; advantage of from outside the transportation community to improve data quality, coverage, and cost. Several traffic management ; agencies have active projects to integrate crowdsourced data into TMC operations. The purpose of this project is to identify, ; research, and synthesize the opportunity for agencies to work with crowdsourced data from available applications, and to develop ; measures that can articulate the value proposition to work with such resources and consider their impacts on TMC operations.
