Featured Data
The USDOT Secure Data Commons (SDC) platform features datasets for the following projects - check back soon as new projects (datasets) are added:
Waze for Cities Program
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Highway Safety Information System (HSIS)
Federal Aviation Administration Functional Genomics Research
Waze for Cities Program
The U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Safety Data Initiative (SDI) is a cross-cutting, collaborative effort within DOT, led by the Office of the Secretary of Transportation. The intent of SDI is to build on and enhance safety efforts related to data, analysis, and policy making. SDI is integrating Waze data with transportation data to develop rapid crash indicators.
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Functional Genomics Research
FAA Functional Genomics team uses the SDC to perform large-scale analyses of data generated from research on biological specimens, primarily derived from human subjects research. The data generated may include genetic sequence and other molecular data, physiology, demographics, study conditions, and performance metrics. This is not available to the public through the SDC at this time. FAA Genomics data owners will make subsets of data accessible in alternative locations, to the extent compatible with subject consent and Institutional Review Board concurrence as appropriate, after review and consideration of proper privacy and data quality elements. For instance, sequence data when ready may be hosted in secure-access repositories appropriate to those types of data.
FHWA Highway Safety Information System (HSIS)
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) developed the Highway Safety Information System (HSIS) to support safety research programs and provides input for program policy decisions. HSIS is a roadway-based system that provides quality data on a large number of crash, roadway, and traffic variables. The crash, roadway inventory, and traffic volume data are acquired annually from a select group of States.
FHWA provides this data to researchers upon request through the HSIS webpage. Educators who wish to use HSIS data for instructional purposes in a road safety course should contact HSIS staff directly at Ana.Eigen@dot.gov. For more information https://highways.dot.gov/research/safety/hsis
