Internet Data Mining for Highway Transportation Success Stories
With the advent of the World Wide Web, many publications are available through the Internet. Nevertheless, there is still a need for the existence of an efficient search engine specifically designed to enable transportation practitioners to find high quality and reliable “best practices” and success stories, quickly and easily. Under the sponsorship of the Federal Highway Administration, Center for Transportation Analysis at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory has developed a customized internet search engine for a pre-determined topic (highway and traffic engineering applications) in specific web sites using existing Search Application Programming Interface (API). This paper describes two different customized worldwide-web-based search engines and reports the usefulness of such customized web-based search engines.
