Notes

  1. Welcome

  2. Announcements

  • The OpenThePaths meeting on pedestrian and accessibility data is approaching. It will discuss the barriers that prevent some groups from engaging in public transportation. The virtual meetings will occur on April 25 and 26.
  • The GIS in Transportation symposium in Atlanta is coming up.
  • The new Co-Chairs are Anat Caspi, Jeff Whitfield, and Daniel Pelaez.
  1. Cataloguing Use Cases
  • The meeting participants were given the option to join one of three breakout rooms: Bicycle Infrastructure, Pedestrian Infrastructure, and Accessibility Infrastructure. Each room was facilitated and recorded by a team member.
  • Use cases were aggregated in tables with the following questions:
    • "What are the needs around data content, structure, format, licensing, etc., associated with this use case?"
    • "What is the level of spatial or temporal specificity or granularity required for this use case?"
    • "Provide a list of stakeholders in your group who have this use case."
    • "Are there any existing datasets that fulfill this use case? Provide URLs below."
    • "Are the needs associated with this use case in conflict with other use cases?"
    • "Relative to other use cases in your discussion, what level of priority is this use case?"
  • The participants created a wealth of use cases for each topic.
  • Conversation Highlights:
    • Accessibility:
      • ADA transition planning was a key issue
        • Stakeholders
        • Maintenance and operations
    • Bike:
      • Delaware DOT is using a roadway network to perform travel modeling
      • People for Bikes is using OSM data to develop a national network
      • People want safety performance monitoring and monitoring
    • Pedestrian:
      • ADA, asset management, public health, safety analysis, wayfinding maps, journey planning, interaction of pedestrian network with other modes
        • It could be best to have the data as disaggregated as possible.
    • Were there any use cases in your group which are also relevant to another group?
      • Safety analysis is relevant to everybody.
      • All modes can benefit from research on accessibility, transportation deserts, service coverage
    • Are there any important gaps that none of the groups touched on?
      • Pavement condition needs to be catalogued and monitored
      • What kinds of metadata, attributes, standards, and organizational schemas should be used?
        • What standards can we use for identifying the conditions of infrastructural assets?
        • This can ensure interoperability across national datasets.
    • What can be done early in the process to ensure linkage of this data to other data?
    • We need a timeline of when different features (physical features) were installed, for safety studies.
