About the research

Objective

The purpose of this research was to survey road authorities on their data collection and retention practices and to share the findings with Aurora member agencies. A survey was undertaken of road authorities across the United States of America, Canada, and some European organizations regarding their data collection practices for road weather information systems (RWIS), automated vehicle location (AVL) / global positioning systems (GPS), camera images, and traffic data. The results of this survey can be used by Aurora members to assess their data collection practices with respect to other road authorities.
