The National Transportation Center at Maryland (NTC @ Maryland) and the Center for Advanced Transportation Technology (CATT) held a symposium on 1/15/2015 to discuss emerging probe data products and applications of private sector data in planning, operations, and performance management. The first objective was to provide a venue for industry to discuss currently available data products in the areas of speed, travel time, O-D, freight, emissions, and volume. The second objective was to have a forum of leading state executives and managers discussing the critical data needs in their organizations, so that industry can hear and respond. In addition to 43 live attendees, online participants joined the event via live webcast.
The symposium opened with reviewing I-95 Corridor Coalition Vehicle Probe Project. The I-95 Vehicle Probe Project is a groundbreaking initiative providing comprehensive and continuous travel time information on freeways and arterials using probe technology. Then representatives from leading probe data industry including HERE, INRIX and TomTom presented their current and existing data products. After a short break panel members discussed their current applications for the probe data and their expectations from the industry. Panel was consisted of a diverse group of experts from Federal Highway Administration, State DOT and MPOs and academia.
