Transit, Bike and Car Sharing Operations & Data Analysis, Part 1
Effectively managing transit systems and ride-sharing services is complex, but the ever increasing amount of data collected by transit agencies—often made available to the public—can be a major tool for more effective daily management, planning, and public outreach. Making sense of these vast data sources, including AVL, fare collection, schedules, ridership, etc. can be a challenge. This session will explore various tools and techniques being used to turn this wealth of data into information that can better serve the transit community.

Mobile / Probe Data Collection & Analysis
Given the rising cost of installing and maintaining traditional roadside sensing equipment, more and more transportation agencies are beginning to rely on probe-based data collection. Probe-based data can cover larger geographic areas at often lower costs. They can also provide certain types of information that was previously difficult to collect, like origin and destination data, trajectory data, etc. These presentations will discuss various probe-based data collection strategies, their impacts, and analytics that become possible as a result.
Presenters
Martin Innus, Deploying Urban Visualization to a Mobile Environment
Design and Visualization of Infrastructure for Safety
With over 35,000 fatalities occurring on the Nation's highways each year, roadway safety remains one of the most challenging issues facing America. Although many highway safety stakeholder organizations have stepped forward to address these needs, there is no singular strategy that unites these common efforts. This session focuses on visual design strategies, tools, and design choice evaluation methodologies that aim to make roads safer.
Presenters:
Rebecca Crow, FHWA
Dan Nabors, VHB
The Use of Three-Dimensional Visualization in the Road Safety Audit Process
TMC Evaluation & Decision Support
This session will showcase new visualization-based decision support tools that are enabling operations personnel to make better informed decisions more quickly. The session then explores the ways visualization is being used to help understand and communicate the benefits and value of operations and traffic management centers.
Nikola Ivanov, Real-time Operations Performance Dashboard and Interactive Visual Analytics
Data Integration & Collaboration
This session will focus on large-scale data integration efforts throughout the country and the various visualization tools that are being developed to help explore these data sets, maintain situational awareness, and collaborate on research and analysis.

Congestion Performance Measurement and MAP-21
This collection of presentations will look at the process of deriving and communicating congestion performance measures to various stakeholder groups (engineers, decision makers, and the public), and the impact that various visualization strategies can have on both identifying the congestion and reporting on the congestion. The panelists will discuss the impacts their research is going to have on proposed MAP-21 rulemaking regarding performance measure reporting.
