SmartPittsburgh ITS Consortium
Description
Partners in a regional SmartCities approach to ITS development in the region's core: University of Pittsburgh (Western Pennsylvania Regional Data Center (WPRDC)); Carnegie Mellon University (Mobile Analytics Center (MAC)); City of Pittsburgh (Pittsburgh Traffic Management Center (PghTMC)); and Allegheny County. Operated by the University of Pittsburgh, the WPRDC currently provides a public data access portal for select public databases provided by the City of Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. Proposed ITS development envisions an expanded WPRDC working alongside CMU's MAC to collect, analyze, and operationalize the City of Pittsburgh's existing&future multi–modal transportation data resources.
The PghTMC acts as the existing Archived Data Manager for traffic information but with currently limited analytics and data access. The consortium's SmartPittsburgh initiative expects to provide traffic operations data from adaptive signal systems and other traffic control sources to the WPRDC and MAC, with a range of additional sensor and data sources envisioned for future integration of transit, shared ride, biking, pedestrian, and disability travel information needs. This information would be processed and distributed to multi–modal transportation users as user–tailored traveler information.
