Introduction
The Data Business Plan Story:
» What is the Problem?
» What did we do?
» What were the Outcomes?
» What were the Recommendations?
» What would be the benefits?
2
Introduction
What is the Problem?» FY2010 - Office of Operations identified need to
investigate consistencies between U.S. DOT Data Programs
What did we do?» Developed White Paper on Needs and Gaps in
the Operations and Coordination of U.S. DOT DCM Programs
» Developed a Data Business Plan to mitigate Data Gaps
3
Introduction
What was the Outcome of the White Paper?» Data Gaps – resulting from:
• Inconsistencies in the definition of performance measures (e.g. travel time reliability);
• Use of default values for data elements, in some cases the data is not independently validated;
• Redundancies in the collections efforts (inventory is needed);
• Inconsistencies in location referencing of data; and • Varying standards
» Coordination Gaps – due to: • U.S. DOT staffs are often unaware of what projects others
are working on. Resulting in duplication of studies (funding & wasted efforts)
» Data Standards and Governance Gaps to facilitate integration – these include:• Minimum data quality standards for: Data collection &
processing4
Introduction
What was the Recommendation? (cont.)» Goals of the Data Business Plan are to:
• Provide leadership by suggesting or offering best data collection / management practices to the primary data collectors
• Foster coordination and communication across U.S. DOT offices to:
♦ Avoid duplications /redundancies in the collections efforts of data related programs
♦ Address inconsistencies in the definition of performance measures (e.g. travel time reliability)
♦ Address inconsistencies in location referencing of data
♦ Address varying standards
5
Introduction
What would be the Benefit? » More transparency and accountability » More efficient ways to locate and take advantage of
available data and information» Standard data integration methods from multiple
sources» Processes and systems that:
• Reduce redundancy and
• Promote consistency in data results
» More timely data and information» More department-wide spatial data tools
6
Overview of Data Business Plan
Purpose of the DBP» Address gaps identified in the Data Gaps paper
(e.g. improve the coordination and communication mechanism across U.S. DOT offices to avoid investing resources to the same or similar types of data related programs);
» Serve as prototype for other U.S. DOT offices; and» Provide leadership by suggesting or offering best
data collection/management practices to primary data collectors.
7
Overview of Data Business Plan
Data Business Plan Components
» Recommendations to address U.S. DOT needs in serving data end-users and address overlaps and gaps
» Best practices and recommendations on data services and knowledge management tools and procedures
» Recommendations for coordinating data-related efforts within US DOT with the goal of reducing redundant or uncoordinated efforts
» Recommendations for improved governance and coordination among data-related programs and offices within U.S. DOT
***Designed to be a “living document”***

Overview of Data Business Plan
Goals of the DBP:» GOAL 1. Improve the coordination and
communication mechanism across U.S. DOT and FHWA offices involved with roadway travel mobility data to avoid investing resources in the same or similar types of data related programs.
• Objective 1.1. Identify gaps and redundancies in roadway travel mobility data programs.
• Objective 1.2. Devise “rules of engagement” regarding collaboration of the data functions for roadway travel mobility data.
9
Overview of Data Business Plan
Goals of the DBP (cont.):» GOAL 2. Improve the coordination of the data
capture activities associated with ITS JPO-sponsored research in wirelessly connected vehicle technologies with roadway travel mobility data programs within U.S. DOT and FHWA.• Objective 2.1. Identify how current and planned data from
the connected vehicle initiative can support existing roadway travel mobility data programs.
• Objective 2.2. Identify how data from roadway travel mobility data programs within U.S. DOT and FHWA can support the connected vehicle initiative.
• Objective 2.3. Identify existing/future data inventory and data structures/ policies/governance practices that could be applicable to the Research Data Exchange.

Mobility Data Coordination Group
Formal Designation of Mobility Data Coordination Group to coordinate on data issues:» Data gaps/overlaps in specific types of roadway
mobility data
• Infrastructure/inventory
• Roadway travel mobility data (speed/volume)
• Climate data
• Modal data
• Data capture activities associated with ITS JPO-sponsored research in wirelessly connected vehicle technologies
» Cross-cutting data management issues that impact all data types
• Data quality
• Standards
• Privacy/security

Rules of Engagement
Example Rules of Engagement» Understand and promote the value of data as a U.S.
DOT-wide asset» Share RFPs for current and upcoming initiatives» Identify needs and opportunities to create links
between data sets to support performance measurement and asset management purposes
» Share current activities and best practices related to data strategies, policies, standards, metadata, architecture, procedures, and metrics
» Develop data standards and stewardship recommendations for consideration by the FHWA Data Governance Advisory Council
19
Data Integration Test Pilots
Applicability of Connected Vehicle Data for National Performance MonitoringReconciliation of Speed Data from Multiple SourcesIntended outcomes» Creation of a link between an existing data set and
a connected vehicle data set in the future, » Maximize integration of national data sets for
performance measurement and asset management purposes,
» Creation of value added to the Research Data Exchange or other USDOT research data sets, and
» Documentation of lessons learned for the USDOT, State DOTs and regions.
