FHWA Data Quality White Paper

The abstract explains, "This paper looks at the issue of data quality within the context of transportation operations and management. The objective of this paper is to investigate data quality measures and how they are applied in existing systems. This paper explores the relevance of the data quality measures that were defined in a report entitled 'Traffic Data Quality Measures' and presents an overview of the requirements for the implementation of a real‐time information program. Specifically, this paper focuses on the real‐time travel information applications within six primary interfaces (traffic management information, maintenance and construction management, transit management and information, information service provider information, parking information, and emergency management information) and their associated applications."
