Overview
This webinar features seven rapid-fire successes in the use of crowdsourced data to improve operations. Representatives of seven State and local transportation agencies will highlight how their agencies benefitted from using crowdsourced data for traffic incident, road weather, traffic signal, maintenance, traveler information, and project prioritization functions.
Crowdsourcing turns transportation system users into real-time sensors on system performance, providing low-cost, high-quality data on traffic operations, roadway conditions, traveler information, and more. This webinar concludes with a question, answer, and discussion to engage and inform the webinar audience.
