Geospatial Highway Analysis

Project Information

Project ID:
FHWA-PROJ-20-0038
Project Abstract:

This project provides data-analytic support for structuring Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) engineering and travel behavior inputs to the Geospatial Economic Multimodal System (GEMS) model as well as testing the application of the GEMS geotypes to selected transportation policy analyses.

Project Status:
Active
Project Funding Amount (Contract Award Amount):
$110,000.00
Start Date:
End Date:
Public Access Plan:
Yes
FHWA Program Area:
  • Policy
Fiscal Year / AMRP Program / AMRP Activity:
  • FY 2002-2022 / Policy / Policy Analysis and Global Outreach
FHWA Activity:
  • Data and Analysis
Project Outputs:
  • Data-analytic support for structuring FHWA engineering and travel behavior inputs to the Geospatial Economic Multimodal System (GEMS) model.
  • Application tests for GEMS geotypes to selected transportation policy analyses.
Project Outcomes/Impact:

As GEMS advances through different phases of development, there will be a need to develop methodologies for applying intermediate outputs of GEMS to on-demand policy analysis. The recently developed GEMS geotypes will be tested to develop analytical methodologies that can be readily applied to study national policy implications, particularly within the area of safety.
