Freeway and Arterial Performance and Safety Analysis with High Resolution Vehicle Trajectory Data

Local traffic agencies have large investments in intelligent transportation system (ITS) infrastructure including sensors such as cameras, radars, and loop detectors and communication to gain new insight for better planning, management, and operation of roadways. However, the ITS infrastructure is generally limited to dense urban areas and requires significant support to maintain coupled with limited in-house expertise to fully realize the promise of big data. Further, new high resolution vehicle trajectory data (HRVT) streams have become available to further complicate analysis and the value proposition of ITS hardware. This project will evaluate the potential for HRVT to support infrastructure owner operators (IOOs) and practitioners to more effectively plan, operate, and manage their systems and improve safety outcomes on their networks. HRVT will be integrated into traditional traffic analyses as well as leading edge deep learning research. The outcome of this project will be a tool to effectively query, store, process, and visualize HRVT data for practitioner use.
