The objective of this Major Research Initiative (MRI) is to develop innovative programs to monitor, assess, and improve safety using Big Data. The MRI will provide a framework and a roadmap that can be used to plan, design, operate, and maintain data intensive safety systems, i.e., systems that can enhance safety by using historical and real-time data from several sources. By developing knowledge, tools, and products based on Big Data, the MRI will contribute to potential improvements in safety. The MRI focuses on safety data from a diverse set of sources that include radars, video, loop detectors, Bluetooth devices, global positioning system (GPS) devices, social media, and road weather information system (RWIS), merged with conventional data sources such as roadway parameters, roadside elements, land use, and planning data. |
