Abstract: The application of big data analytics (BDA) in transportation engineering has revolutionized the way transportation systems are analyzed, managed, and optimized. With the exponential growth of data generated by vehicles, infrastructure sensors, and traffic management systems, BDA offers unparalleled opportunities to enhance operational efficiency, improve safety, and optimize resource allocation. This paper explores the various aspects of BDA in transportation engineering, including data collection methods, analytical tools, and real-time decision-making processes. The integration of machine learning algorithms, predictive analytics, and traffic simulation models is discussed in detail, demonstrating their potential to enhance traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve the overall sustainability of transportation networks. Case studies and real-world applications of BDA in transportation systems are presented, showcasing its transformative impact on urban mobility. Challenges related to data privacy, security, and integration of heterogeneous data sources are also highlighted, along with strategies to address these issues. Finally, the paper concludes by examining the future of BDA in transportation engineering, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration and continuous technological advancements.
