Abstract:Transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) programs strive to optimize the use of existing roadways through tools such as traveler information, traffic incident management, work zone management, and traffic signal management. TSMO solutions can help mitigate congestion due to special events, adverse weather, traffic incidents, work zones, and planned maintenance. However, these solutions require real-time, high-quality, and wide-ranging roadway information. Gaps in geographic coverage, lags in information timeliness, and life-cycle costs for field equipment can limit State and local agencies’ ability to operate the system proactively. Public agencies at all levels are increasing both their situational awareness and the quality and quantity of operations data by using crowdsourcing. Crowdsourced data helps agencies apply proactive strategies cost effectively and make better decisions that lead to safer and more reliable travel
