Researchers develop TransMap to plan, build, maintain transportation infrastructure
TransMap will leverage big data to provide real-time, interactive maps and other geospatial data to help government agencies and the industry plan, build and maintain transportation infrastructure.
Over the next three years, researchers at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville, Ark., will use a $1.5 million award from the U.S. Department of Transportation Maritime Administration, Washington, D.C., to develop TransMap, the Transportation and Maritime Analytics Partnerships Hub. The research will include new systems and technologies made possible by the Internet of Things (IoT) to ensure a reliable and efficient transportation network, including roads and highways, rail lines and waterways.
