Based on a TxDOT survey, a review of other state DOTs, and researcher understanding of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) needs, the Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) team developed a comprehensive list of opportunities for TxDOT to consider pertaining to future use of private sector (PS) data. Specific opportunities for applying private data were reviewed in light of accuracy of the data, coverage areas, data availability, cost, and control of the data stream. The list of opportunities considered included: (1) Enhance traveler information in urban areas such as: (a) Travel time information; (b) Levels of congestion; (c) Speed measurement; (d) Alternate routes; (2) Introduce traveler information in areas where ITS deployment is not cost-effective; (3) Improve continuity of data based on existing ITS coverage across jurisdictions; (4) Develop a statewide 511 system; and (5) Reduce ITS deployment costs by limiting deployment of fixed data collection devices.
