Event Prediction vs Traffic Prediction
Does DOT consider prediction of precursor events (vehicle disablements, overheating vehicles, roadside incidents, parking overflow, cargo issues) to be within scope if they materially affect freight corridor performance?

The FCPI technical parameters and system design requirements require the integration of multimodal data sources (e.g., those representing "incidents," "weather," "work zones," and "truck parking availability”) to forecast travel time reliability, congestion probability, and truck delay at a corridor level. Predicting the specific precursor for individual vehicle incidents (e.g., overheating vehicles, individual vehicle disablements, or specific cargo issues) is outside the primary focus of the FCPI project. Solutions focused on predicting individual commercial vehicle failures before they occur are considered in the 26-OS1: Predictive Safety Analytics for Commercial Transport Modernization project.
