This synthesis will be of interest to designers, traffic engineers, planners, and others concerned with the collection and use of highway data. Information is presented on current practices of states in correlating or linking highway-related data maintained in various types of independent computer files. As computer technology has enabled data collection and storage to grow, data files have been developed independently in various units within highway agencies. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the integrated highway information systems used by states to link independent data files so that the agency as a whole (as well as the individual units) will benefit from the ability to see and compare information from the various files.

Data Analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems provides in-depth coverage of data-enabled methods for analyzing intelligent transportation systems (ITS), including the tools needed to implement these methods using big data analytics and other computing techniques. The book examines the major characteristics of connected transportation systems, along with the fundamental concepts of how to analyze the data they produce. It explores collecting, archiving, processing, and distributing the data, designing data infrastructures, data management and delivery systems, and the required hardware and software technologies. It presents extensive coverage of existing and forthcoming intelligent transportation systems and data analytics technologies. All fundamentals/concepts presented in this book are explained in the context of ITS. Users will learn everything from the basics of different ITS data types and characteristics to how to evaluate alternative data analytics for different ITS applications. They will discover how to design effective data visualizations, tactics on the planning process, and how to evaluate alternative data analytics for different connected transportation applications, along with key safety and environmental applications for both commercial and passenger vehicles, data privacy and security issues, and the role of social media data in traffic planning. Data Analytics for Intelligent Transportation Systems will prepare an educated ITS workforce and tool builders to make the vision for safe, reliable, and environmentally sustainable intelligent transportation systems a reality. It serves as a primary or supplemental textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate ITS courses and a valuable reference for ITS practitioners. - Utilizes real ITS examples to facilitate a quicker grasp of materials presented - Contains contributors from both leading academic and commercial domains - Explains how to design effective data visualizations, tactics on the planning process, and how to evaluate alternative data analytics for different connected transportation applications - Includes exercise problems in each chapter to help readers apply and master the learned fundamentals, concepts, and techniques - New to the second edition: Two new chapters on Quantum Computing in Data Analytics and Society and Environment in ITS Data Analytics

TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Synthesis 335: Pavement Management Applications Using Geographic Information Systems examines the state of the practice and knowledge of pavement management systems (PMS) using geographic information systems (GIS) and other spatial technologies, and discusses how the technologies have been combined to enhance the highway management process. The synthesis reviews the principal issues related to PMS data collection, integration, management, and dissemination; applications of spatial technologies for map generation and PMS spatial analysis; and implementation-related issues, including approaches used for integrating PMS and GIS and the different tools used to support pavement management decisions.
