Future Research Notes







Operational data (GPS, ITS, Mobile phones, etc.)
reduction to different spatial scales and network
representations
Data imputation / cleaning to support various
transportation business functions
Data mining of operational data to extract / estimate
activity patterns
Visualization of spatial / temporal data
Advance statistical understanding and communication of
variance / error and other measures
Data collection logistics … does sampling strategy
support multiple uses
Design of transportation networks to support operations
information and to support cross-discipline integration
