Exploring a Novel Public-Private-Partnership Data Sharing Policy through a collaborative Arterial Traffic Management System

Connected vehicle (CV) data in this paper refer to the in-vehicle telematic data, including trajectories and driving events (e.g., hard braking) collected by vehicle manufacturers when vehicles are moving. Recently manufactured vehicles are equipped with cellular modems and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices to collect vehicle data. Such data, after removing personal information, are being redistributed to 3rd-party organizations. Compared to other probe vehicle data, the CV data has a higher penetration rate, ubiquitous coverage, and almost lane-level positioning accuracy. These features pave the road for novel transportation applications in transportation planning and traffic operations. In this paper, we represent a novel framework to estimate the regional link volumes based on the CV data and a deep neural network (DNN) model
