EDC-5: Crowdsourcing at the Local Agency Level

REGISTER NOW

Innovation Exchange Webinar: Crowdsourcing for the Local Agency Level

Thursday, June 13, 2019 from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm (EST)

Attention: Planners, Project Managers, Public Outreach Professionals, Traffic Managers….

Current data sources in traffic operations often come from fixed sensors that monitor traffic conditions at fixed locations. The use of crowdsourced data turns transportation system users with smartphones and other mobile data sources into traffic sensors that significantly increase the data volume and geographic coverage. Agencies using crowdsourced data can provide earlier incident notification for quicker responses and integration into traveler information.

Topics and Presenters

  • Crowdsourced Data for Improved Transportation Management & Operations
    Nathaniel Price, ITS Operations Engineer, FHWA OR Division & RC
  • Oh the Many Waze to a Free Traffic Study and Much More
    Ed Blayney, Civic Technology Manager, Louisville, KY Metro Government
  • Transforming Driver Performance and Safety with Behavior Recognition
    Kristopher Carter, Co-Chair, Mayor’s Office of New Urban Mechanics, Boston, MA
