Assess Existing Software and Databases

This project evaluated the feasibility of using the existing software and data bases as platforms for analyzing the attributes of electric vehicles within present and future transportation infrastructure projects and models. The Florida based SunGuide and STEWARD databases were found to be abandoned and outdated. The Regional Integrated Transportation Information System (RITIS) database was used to provide vehicle information on the Florida Turnpike for a transportation simulation model (Project #13). Multiple measurement locations on the Florida Turnpike provided vehicle volume, speed, and direction which were used as detailed input for the simulation models. Activities included collecting and formatting RITIS vehicle transport data to provide inputs for a Florida Turnpike transportation model and coordination with UCF to revise vehicle transport data as needed for further model development.
