Key Takeaways
· State DOTs are increasingly trusting of integrating crowd-sourced mobility data as it becomes more robust and comprehensive, offering greater temporal and spatial coverage than traditional sensors.
· New data types like origin-destination and volume data are emerging, but agencies must evaluate their credibility before relying on them for planning and funding decisions.
· Vehicle probe data, now collected from roughly one in three vehicles, offers significant insights into traffic flow, energy use, and emissions, especially valuable in high-density urban areas.
· Despite advances, rural areas still face challenges due to limited data penetration and connectivity, but emerging connected vehicle technologies may help close that gap.
About the episode
