Abstract

The primary objectives of this pooled fund project TPF-5(510) were technology exchange, information sharing, and the facilitation of partnering relationships among state agencies, AASHTO, FHWA and other appropriate associates. This MOU supports these objectives by: Convening and coordinating a conference planning committee to include staff, members of relevant Standing Committees, and other TRB volunteers to plan technical content for the conference Bringing together freight data users and decision makers to learn and share the latest applications of emerging “big” data sources to improve freight planning, freight operations and mobility, and freight visualization Showcasing data applications, with particular emphasis on identifying adaptable/open source user-friendly tools Inviting participation from across the modal spectrum of goods movement, including highway, rail, marine, and air Inviting participation from data scientists and technology developers to move the conversation beyond making incremental improvements to traditional freight planning and analysis methods
