Hi
Glad to hear Anita Graser (aka Underdark) is interested in the group. Her GIS contributions on stackoverflow etc. have saved me and my work schedule many times.
Hope to be able to join you online at RDA9.
Something I thought I would share in case it becomes relevant to WG in the future:
SUMO is an open source, multi-modal (road, rail, metro, walking, cycling and sea) and micro-scopic transport modelling suite. The model source code includes routines for activity-demand generation, routing, ITS and traffic control systems amongst many others. They also have some free to use mobility data including 24 hr city wide origin-destination data sets (primarily road travel) http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Data/Scenarios
In my Phd I have been using SUMO with OSM, UK census data and automatic traffic counting data to generate and validate road network simulations for Scotland, examining the impact of severe weather, hazards and changing travel demand.
Regards
Ben

Hi Suchith,
I’d love to participate. I will plan definitely to be there remotely, but may now be able to attend in person. I will keep you posted. Thank you for the connection to Anita. I’ll update everyone this Friday on the current status of the WG case statement and next steps. We are indeed in the stage of needing to identify the problem on which we will focus.

Beth, All,
We are now working on arrangements for the Geospatial IG meeting at RDA 9 and it is a great opportunity to get the Transport WG ideas back. The Geospatial IG meeting [1] is scheduled on on 5th April (16:00- 17:30) and hopefully there will be remote login facilities. i will update as soon as i hear
https://www.rd-alliance.org/ig-geospatial-rda-9th-plenary-meeting
I would also like to introduce Anita Graser (cc in) who is interested in the new WG in Transport Data ideas.
Her team (http://www.ait.ac.at/themen/mobility-data-acquisition-and-analysis/ ) is currently preparing to collect a reference dataset for multimodal mobility behavior and it would be great to connect with her.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Hi Beth,
Thank you for this. May i request that you to extend the feedback/inputs from the wider community till 11th Dec (2 weeks) so that more people get time to read and contribute. I will send this info to wider geocommunity who will also be interested to participate in this WG ideas.
Best wishes,
Suchith

Hi all,
If you are interested in transportation research data, please contribute to the proposed RDA Transportation WG case statement. Right now, the organizers seek to understand the vision of the transportation research community, needs, and proposed mission for the WG. The original deadline was today, but as no one has yet contributed, the deadline will be extended to Dec 2. I’d like to keep things moving, especially to be able to meet up and possibly present at relevant upcoming meetings (TRB 2017 in January, RDA Plenary 9 in April).
Have ideas for the needs of the transportation research community but don’t want to use the google doc? Feel free to call or email me to chat.
Many thanks.

Subject: RDA Transportation WG Case Statement
Dear colleagues,
As members of the RDA Geospatial and Quality of Urban Life Interest Groups, the proposed Transportation Data Working Group wants your expertise and interest from project initation. If you’d like to shape RDA’s engagement on transportation data, please contribute to the case statement draft for the proposed Transportation Data WG (more information below). If you wish to join the proposed leadership team or contribute in other ways, please be in touch with me via email or phone (contact info at end of email).
Many thanks!
-Beth Zeitler
Request for engagement:
Thank you for your interest in initiating the RDA Transportation Working Group. I have set up the framework for the WG case statement. I now request your help identifying the vision, problem, mission and stakeholders for the group that will guide our work.
The case statement is the organizing document for an RDA WG. It describes the research case, business case and capacity of the group to contribute something useful to stakeholders during a focused period of 12-18 months. I am leading the development of the case statement for the proposed RDA transportation data WG. Please see the draft of the Transportation WG case statement.
To begin the drafting of the case statement in earnest, today I am seeking your input to identify the vision, problem/gap, mission of the working group. Your input is requested in the green-highlighted sections of the draft, also outlined below.
Vision: What would the world look like if transportation data use was optimal?
Problem: Where are the gaps in current transportation data use?
Mission: What must the Transportation WG do to reach the vision?
I suggest we add thoughts on the vision, problem and mission by Monday, Nov 28th. Below I have copied the milestones for completion of the WG case statement. Any comments on the milestones or timeline for the development of the case statement are also appreciated.
Please add your ideas to the google doc by Monday, Nov. 28th. Many thanks for your contributions to this working group.
