  • Wide-area Congestion Performance Monitoring Using Probe Data
    Abstract: This paper describes a web-based visual analytics monitoring system for identifying major bottlenecks, reporting on travel time reliability, and displaying other congestion measures using private sector vehicle probe data fused with agency incident and event data where available. This system represents an exponential leap forward in capabilities for state DOTs, MPOs, and researchers in their efforts to report on system performance in terms of speed and ease of access, usability, and overall data availability. This paper demonstrates how states are using the system to justify construction projects, demonstrate the benefits of completed transportation projects, identify areas for improvement, and analyze travel times using a variety of data sources with an emphasis on vehicle probe data. The underlying system includes probe data from as early as 2008 through today that is being used to analyze trends from year-to-year, month-to-month, and day-to-day. The resulting suite of tools provides significant new capabilities to researchers and analysts that will likely fuel additional research. A complete description of all functionality can be viewed at the following link which contains a webcast of the suite. http://vpp.ritis.org/suite/screencast
