| 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. |
