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.

    Local authorities and communities must understand the impacts of the new mobility options and regulate to get the transport systems they want, according to a new report. Colin Sowman takes a look. Outside of the big cities plagued with congestion, the existing transportation system(s) often cope adequately, and the ongoing workload (maintenance, safety…) is more than enough to keep local transport authorities busy. Is it, therefore, a good use of public service employees’ time to keep abreast of the raft

Here, we revisit the Celldar concept. Global economic downturn has pushed public-sector agencies, transport administrations among them, to push even harder for cost efficiencies. Unfortunately, when it comes to transport safety and efficiency the public sector often has to work up to a cost rather than
