National Transportation Data & Analytics Solution powered by IEEE and NPMRDS
IEEE has partnered with leading authorities in transportation and mobility data intelligence to provide time and speed data collected from across the U.S. National Highway System (NHS), and the full Traffic Message Channel (TMC) road segments network in the USA. This robust dataset brings several billions of speeds and travel time observations to the fingertips of researchers, enabling multidisciplinary applications for both academic and teaching purposes.
The National Transportation Data & Analytics Solution platform is equipped with state-of-the-art analytics tools allowing users to:
Conduct advanced analysis, research, and performance generation using probe data
Analyze traffic conditions across multiple stretches of road
Determine monetary impact of a delay on the roadway to its users
Evaluate the congestion health across roadways
Gain insight into several statistics like speed, buffer time index, planning time index, and travel time index
Create animated maps of performance metrics over time and visualize data on other interactive graphic tools
