A comprehensive update with contributions from ATAC researchers includes: new stakeholders (including ATAC), refined service packages that align with MPO objectives, improved clarity and usability, new agreements that strengthen operational reliability, project architecture guidance, and an updated ITS inventory. This collaborative effort with participation from engineering, information technology, public works, and highway departments, emergency management, law enforcement, fire services, ambulance units, highway patrol, and the sheriff’s office played a crucial role in developing a robust, actionable framework to steer the region’s ITS initiatives.
Several researchers with the UGPTI at NDSU were recently appointed to standing committees within the Transportation Research Board (TRB). TRB’s standing committees bring together volunteers from around the world who share interest and expertise in various aspects of transportation.
Input from townships and counties across North Dakota is critical to updating local road and bridge investment needs estimates for the next legislative session, according to researchers at the Upper Great Plains Transportation Institute (UGPTI) at NDSU.
With funding from the North Dakota Legislature, the UGPTI recently launched its Transportation Data Intelligence Lab, a high-tech classroom and data center that allows researchers to collect information on traffic and road conditions from a variety of cameras and sensors across the state. The goal is to provide workers and support to transportation agencies in making critical decisions on planning, designing, constructing, maintaining, and operating the state’s roadways system.
