Slide 32

Next Gen Studies for Smart Mobility Operational improvements Traffic queues and delays, simulation models Cruising for parking Traveler-weighted transit service level Un-served markets Service availability, traveler characteristics of transit non-users Demographics of bike-share users, demographics and journey characteristics of non-users Comprehensive bicyclist route choice factors, including safety and security

Slide 33

Data Aggregation and Synthesis Needed

Slide 34

A Dozen Data Desires 1.Higher fidelity traffic flow data 2.Complete traveler O/D movements by all modes 3.Operating flow, interactions and incidents among modes 4.Longitudinal data: before/after stimulus 5.Land use and employment inventories by parcel 6.Over-the-net accessibility: time, cost, reliability, uncertainty * calibrate/ validate

Slide 35

A Dozen Data Desires 7.GPS verification of household and workplace surveys 8.Geo-correlation of travel surveys with built context 9.Transaction data to discern travel purpose 10.Consistent variable definitions to allow cross-walking data 11.Consistent sample rates by region 12.Open data from synthesizers via clients and from big actor data sources * calibrate/ validate
