Enhancing Safety for Vulnerable Road Users: Exploring the Impact of Funding for Unconventional Data Access on Safety Improvements, Phase II – Summit to Better Understand the Funding Mechanism for Ped/Bike Projects in State DOTs
Despite significant progress in leveraging unconventional data for pedestrian and bicyclist safety, previous phase of the project, “Exploring the Impact of Funding for Unconventional Data Access on Safety Improvements”, has revealed limitations in assessing the impact of funding for unconventional data access, notably due to sparse literature and minimal stakeholder involvement through basic surveys. To address these gaps and build upon Phase I findings, a modest budget extension is anticipated to facilitate a summit/peer-exchange. This summit aims to gather key industry stakeholders, public sector representatives, and relevant entities for in-depth discussions, interactions, and collaborations. By fostering a deeper understanding of the current landscape and encouraging knowledge-sharing, the summit will cultivate a thriving ecosystem for emerging data, particularly crowdsourced data. Ultimately, this initiative aims to drive meaningful enhancements in pedestrian and bicyclist safety within transportation systems by harnessing the potential of innovative data sources.
