Session Description and Agenda

DESCRIPTION

We are in an era of data explosion, which has resulted in today’s transportation technologies generating unprecedented amounts of data. In an attempt to harness this data, there has also been a recent growth of data exchanges. How can we strike a balance between harmonizing data outputs and not burdening IOOs with an overwhelming number of data specifications?
This workshop session will highlight the success of, and challenges posed by data exchanges from various stakeholder perspectives. Additionally, it will attempt to gain consensus on roles and responsibilities of various stakeholder groups. The session will engage the audience to share their unique perspective/experience on the topic.

Session Objectives

The session's goal is to bring the perspective of public and private stakeholders on the challenges with data exchange and to address them through moderated discussion. Some of the challenges that the session aims to address are the lack of interoperability and accuracy of different data feeds, use cases around the data exchange, identifying users and their needs, as well as what is the role of different stakeholders. Besides moderated discussion between panelists from public and private sectors, the panel plans a roundabout discussion that will encourage the audience to provide perspective on some of the key questions.
