Commercial Freight Data
For Topic 26-OS2, are aggregated, anonymized, or proprietary commercial freight datasets acceptable for Phase I model development if carrier, customer, and shipment confidentiality are protected and data limitations are documented?

Aggregated, anonymized, or proprietary commercial freight datasets are acceptable and encouraged for Phase I model development. Individual vehicle trajectories and proprietary business information should never be exposed. Applicants can apply privacy-preserving techniques (e.g., federated learning methods, etc.) to protect proprietary information during model training and validation. Documentation and assessment of data (including data limitations) is expected to be included in the Phase I “Data Inventory and Integration Plan”.
