Surviving Asteroids

• 

  Fused VDOT Activity Data Model Providing spatio temporal updates in real time

• 

  Demonstration of Unity Application prototype compilable to Android, iOS, PC, Mac

Use VDOT datasets to provide a spatio-temporal safety metric

What it does:

Ingests and applies a variety of VDOT data sources to include speed limit, crashes, lane closures, and road work to define a safety metric to be depicted in the UI

How we did it.

Parsed data sets into a fused data set of activity, location, and datetime

Challenges:

• Time of activities is not always clear (e.g. crash time is per day, no hours/minutes, time and last updated time).
  
• UI's are not quick to build

What we are proud of:

Determining a very simple fused data model of activity, location, and datetime

What's next for Surviving Asteroids:

Adding additional data sets into the algorithm for determining the safety categorizations. Moving to a more complex categorization than red, yellow, and green to a numeric that can be input into a autonomous vehicle control system.
