The Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Center for Local Aid Support (CLAS) is hosting an Innovation Exchange Webinar on Crowdsourcing for the Local Agency Level. Current data sources in traffic operations often come from fixed sensors that monitor traffic conditions at fixed locations. The use of crowdsourced data turns transportation system users with smartphones and other mobile data sources into traffic sensors that significantly increase the data volume and geographic coverage. Agencies using crowdsourced data can provide earlier incident notification for quicker responses and integration into traveler information.
