From page 42...
... 42 Conclusions and research needs are discussed for each of the four performance areas and for the topics of collaboration and resources. Conclusions Forty-one DOTs responded to all four parts of the survey, and several more DOTs responded to one, two, or three parts.
From page 43...
... Conclusions and Future Research Needs 43 their MPOs on speed data collection. Most of the required data for the mobility measures is available to the DOTs and MPOs, so they are prepared to process the data and produce the required measures.
From page 44...
... 44 Analyzing Data for Measuring Transportation Performance by State DOTs and MPOs coordination is occurring for pavement and bridge measures. DOTs report the most developed collaboration with MPOs relates to safety measures, with the next most developed area being mobility, followed by the pavement and bridge condition areas.
From page 45...
... Conclusions and Future Research Needs 45 Data Analysis and Tools Across the board, less than half of State DOTs responding have needs for tools and technology for analyzing performance data. The highest number of needs relate to pavement, followed by the mobility, bridge, and safety performance areas.
From page 46...
... 46 Analyzing Data for Measuring Transportation Performance by State DOTs and MPOs Pavement Tools • Research and tools for automated cracking detection. • Research on how pavement tools can be more automated, include forecasting (2 and 4 years)
From page 47...
... Conclusions and Future Research Needs 47 Vehicle Occupancy Research and methods regarding vehicle occupancy measures and estimates. Forecasting Research on: "What are the variables that are most important for forecasting: mobility in general, passenger versus freight, trucks versus commodities." New Data Sources Vast amounts of traffic operations data are available through sources like INRIX and Waze.
