Applications for the Environment Real-Time Synthesis Broad Agency Announcement Project: Design for Environmental Data Capture System
Project Information
Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-10-0050
Project Abstract:
The purpose of this project is to examine the relevance of the Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA's) Clarus and Michigan Department of Transportation's data use analysis and processing (DUAP) data, and their core system designs, to the needs of the Applications for the Environment: Real-Time Information Synthesis (AERIS) Program, and to recommend a preliminary system development plan for an AERIS data environment. Clarus and DUAP represent state of the art data acquisition tools. The Clarus system emphasizes data collection from fixed environmental sensor stations (ESS), but is currently being enhanced to incorporate data from mobile sources, such as snow plows.
DUAP focuses on the collection of data from mobile sources, particularly connected vehicle fleets, but also acquires data from fixed roadway traffic sensors. Between the two systems, sophisticated real-time data quality checking algorithms have been implemented; techniques for integrating data from multiple disparate sources have been developed; real-time data visualization tools have been created; and applications that translate raw data into actionable information for the benefit of system users have been designed and implemented. Because the Clarus and DUAP systems are operational and significant investment has already been made, the intent of this project is to determine how the FHWA can leverage these assets and leapfrog some of the normal system development cycle. This report covers the following material to arrive at a recommended Preliminary System Development Plan.
Goals
The Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) DUAP programs can serve as models for AERIS in the development of a data environment.
