The US Department of Transportation (USDoT) has collated data from three connected vehicle (CV) studies into a digestible format which is now available to transportation authorities.

The easily understood information in what the department calls this 'Data Story' is designed to help agencies navigate datasets when setting up CV systems.

The department’s ITS DataHub hosts CV data from the Tampa and Wyoming CV pilot sites, with the New York site’s data expected to be added in the future.

Datasets include basic safety messages, traveller information messages as well as signal phase and timing information.

Data Story provides an overview of each CV pilot, describes the types of data available and walks users through how to access the various datasets.

ITS DataHub provides a single point of entry to discover the publicly available USDoT ITS research data.

By providing access to these data, the organisation aims to enable third-party research into the effectiveness of emerging ITS technologies, preliminary development of third-party applications and harmonisation of data across similar collections.

    The In-Time project is looking at the effect that multi-modal real-time traveller information services can have of reducing transport's energy consumption levels. By Martin Böhm, AustriaTech GmbH. Around the world, significant research and development effort is currently directed towards reducing energy consumption by addressing those areas where the biggest savings can be expected. European studies have shown that the transport sector has the potential to reduce its energy consumption by up to 26 per cent

    Traffic management centres (TMC) have traditionally served to provide surveillance and responses to traffic incidents and recurring and non-recurring changes in road networks. Typically, a TMC collected field data from the roadway and transit infrastructure and provided the integration necessary for operators to see what was happening and then coordinate a response. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) guided operators on how to respond to a given situation. It eventually became impractical for TMC operat
