There are different methods for analyzing traffic data. Newer traffic data collection produces a lot of data that needs to be analyzed and some state departments of transportation are hiring data scientists and AI specialists for data analysis. The objective of this project is to understand different methods for analyzing traffic data.

The Roadway Digital Infrastructure (RDI) is performing an increasing role in transportation operations. FHWA has an ongoing effort to develop a national strategy for RDI that was discussed at TRB 2023 and 2024. The objectives of this project are to allow ENTERPRISE members to come to a common definition of RDI, engage members to step through and interpret the national RDI definition and strategy for RDI, and to identify near-term activities members might take to begin to implement supporting system for RDI.

Transportation agencies develop and use simple innovations for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies and processes. This may include repurposing a device or component, identifying a new use or implementing a streamlined process. Transportation agencies can benefit from learning about other agencies’ simple innovations, so they may consider implementing similar approaches. ITS simple innovations were gathered for ENTERPRISE members through a literature search as well as outreach with practitioners through meetings, conferences, and webinars. The intent was to provide members with a searchable and sortable table listing the simple solutions that the user could then easily link to additional information if desired by providing the source. The innovations focus mostly on efforts from 2019 – 2024. CLICK HERE (link to innovations page table) to learn about all the ITS innovations gathered for this project.
