Research Program Public Meeting; 

Notice of Public Meeting 

AGENCY: ITS Joint Program Office, Office 

of the Assistant Secretary for Research 

& Technology, U.S. Department of 

Transportation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

The U.S. Department of 

Transportation (USDOT) Intelligent 

Transportation System Joint Program 

Office (ITS JPO) will host a public 

meeting seeking input on the current 

operation and future plans to enhance 

the Data Capture and Management 

Program’s (DCM) Research Data 

Exchange (RDE). The meeting will take 

place Wednesday, March 26, 2014, from 

8:00 a.m. (EDT) to 4:30 p.m. (EDT) at the 

Federal Highway Administration’s 

Research Center, located at 6300 

Georgetown Pike, McLean, VA 22101. 

Persons planning to attend the meeting 

should register online at www.itsa.org/

rderegistration and are encouraged to 

register early to ensure they receive the 

read-ahead materials for this meeting in 

a timely manner. 

The meeting will discuss: 

• Current functionality and operation 

of the RDE; 

• Potential functions, resources or 

services to enhance the operation of the 

RDE; 

• Process and plans for collecting, 

managing and supporting the use of 

connected vehicle related data sets to be 

posted on the RDE; 

• Need for and potential priorities for 

connected vehicle relates data sets to 

make available on the RDE in the future; 

and 

• Opportunities to enhance the 

operation and use of the RDE. 

The meeting is designed to solicit 

feedback from stakeholders who are 

current users of the connected vehicle 

related data sets currently available to 

access and use on the RDE and is an 

appropriate opportunity for public 

sector, researchers, and private sector 

involved with ITS transportation 

management systems and connected 

vehicle related applications. The 

meeting will engage these stakeholders 

in a discussion of the current 

functionality, possible enhancements to 

the RDE, and possible priorities for 

future connected vehicle related data 

sets to make available on the RDE. 

The RDE makes available archived 

and real-time data from multiple 

sources and multiple modes on the 

surface transportation system. The RDE 

provides access to ITS data sets from 

multiple sources including connected 

vehicles, probe messages, traffic 

monitoring and reporting devices (e.g., 

volumes, speed, and crashes), incidents, 

traffic signals, weather sensors, and 

transit vehicles. Data accessible through 

the RDE is quality-checked, welldocumented, and freely available to the 

public. These data sets allow for the 

electronic access to a wide range of 

issues and factors to be considered or 

used for analysis and research. This data 

sharing capability supports the needs of 

researchers, application developers, and 

others, while reducing their costs and 

encouraging innovation. 

This meeting’s discussions will be 

fairly technical and predominantly 

focused on collecting, storing, using, 

and sharing multi-source and multimodal data with traffic management 

systems or ITS devices. A final report 

will be prepared summarizing the 

information presented, discussed, 

feedback provided, and 

recommendations identified at this 

meeting.
