Travel demand modeling is a crucial component of transportation planning and system management. Unfortunately, creating an accurate model of network traffic patterns can be difficult and time consuming. The calibration and validation of travel demand modeling requires the use of extensive dataset

Crowdsourcing involves leveraging the combined intelligence, knowledge, or experience of a group of people to answer a question, solve a problem, or manage a process. Opportunities for crowdsourcing have greatly increased with the broad adoption of internet-connected devices, especially smartphon

Early research and deployment in connected and automated vehicle (CAV) systems can provide a variety of benefits. Such efforts are taking place throughout the world (especially in the United States, Europe, and Asia). This study highlights major CAV deployment efforts throughout the world and eva

The key objective for this project was the implementation of a low cost data acquisition system that provides weather-related road information to weather analysts throughout the country in near-real time using a fleet of 60 vehicles along the I-94 corridor in southern Michigan. This work is part

This document describes the Concept of Operations (ConOps) for a Weather Responsive Traveler Information System (Wx-TINFO) being developed in the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT). The purpose of this document is to describe the current systems and procedures used by the agency, and ca

This report provides ethical decision-support for transportation professionals dealing with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) data. Ethical concerns regarding ITS usually focus on travelers’ right to privacy, and especially location privacy. This report establishes core principles of ethic

The purpose of the Data Use Analysis and Processing (DUAP) project is to support the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) and its partners in evaluating uses and benefits of connected vehicle data in transportation agency management and operations. The project complements efforts througho

MDOT is currently operating under a Statewide Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Architecture and Deployment Plan that was adopted in February 2010. The statewide plan coordinates ITS deployment within eight regional ITS Architectures that support ITS deployments in the State of Michigan. Th

The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is a national leader in connected and automated vehicle (CAV) technology and is interested in lessons learned from efforts in other states and countries that are related to connected vehicles, automated vehicles, and related Intelligent Transportat
