PSU’s Intelligent Transportation Systems Lab is recognized nationwide
The quality of OTREC research has recently been recognized on a national level.
Selected data from the Portland Oregon Regional Transportation Archive Listing (PORTAL) will be part of a new national data sharing platform.
The US Department of Transportation has released the first version of this platform, called the Research Data Exchange, which collects and publishes archived and real-time transportation data from multiple sources.
In the language of their home page, the Research Data Exchange (called the RDE for short) was primarily developed to “support the development, testing, and demonstration of multi-modal transportation mobility applications being pursued under the USDOT ITS Dynamic Mobility Applications (DMA) Program and other connected vehicle research activities.”
In other words, USDOT created this database so they could use it. But – in the spirit of collaboration common to those with an interest in collecting and managing vast amounts of information – they’re sharing it.
The RDE is free and open to the public. Registered users can make comments and ask questions about the content, and recognized contributors are able to submit new research projects. It is hoped that the ongoing growth of the database will contribute to its usefulness for everyone involved.
As of now, there are nine data environments in the RDE, and one of them is from PORTAL.
