Abstract:A study was undertaken to determine the statistics and economics associated with the use of the passive monitoring of commercial vehicle telematics as a source of highway traffic data. relationships were established with a group of private sector commercial trucking firms and the New York State Motor Truck Associations. Systems were devised for extracting data from vehicle messaging systems while honoring the privacy and security concerns of the commercial carriers. A database of traffic activity was constructed, a stream of current traffic data conditions was made available to state engineers. It was determined that through establishing a close partnership with the local trucking industry it was possible to provide traffic monitoring on the major roads of New York State at a cost significantly below the cost of installing hard sensor systems.
