Data is critical to making informed decisions, evaluating the success of safety, operations, asset, and infrastructure investments, and developing effective and efficient strategies to ultimately improve the quality of life of Georgia citizens. Recognizing this need, GDOT has made extensive investments in data acquisition and access to a wide range of data and data products. These investments include state-wide mobility data for safety; vehicle speeds, flows, and volumes; traffic signal phasing and timing; traffic incident and congestion; and other data streams including connected vehicles probe data. GDOT has also invested in innovative platforms for the distribution, representation and analytics of these mobility data sources. Most importantly, GDOT has made these data available to the wider transportation community, including other state and local agencies, consultants, and the research community. This panel will present many of these new data sources and platforms, discuss use cases and access, and highlight future directions in mobility data investments.
