Multi-Agency Transportation System Data Archiving

Principal Investigator(s): None
Current Researchers: None

Project Write-up:
The CATT Lab is acting as the regional transportation data archiving center for the State of Maryland and Washington Metropolitan area through the RITIS project. This data, (which can include volume, speed, incidents, weather, system delays, etc.) is collected by various state and local transportation agencies and transmitted to the CATT Lab where it is parsed, filtered, and loaded into our databases all in near real time. After archiving, this data is used by many CATT Lab applications including real time simulation, travel time estimation, travel time prediction, traffic mapping and visualization applications, wireless applications, research, and planning.
