Intelligent Transportation Systems increasingly depend on heterogeneous data from roadside cameras, UAV imagery, LiDAR, and in-vehicle sensors, yet the lack of unified data standards, model interfaces, and evaluation protocols across these sources hampers reproducibility, cross-dataset benchmarking, and cross-region transferability of research findings. Existing trajectory datasets follow incompatible conventions for coordinate systems, object representations, and metadata fields, forcing researchers to build custom preprocessing pipelines for each dataset and simulator combination. To address these challenges, we propose Ozone, a unified platform for transportation research organized around five interconnected layers -- Hardware, Data, Model, Evaluation, and Prototype -- each with standardized schemas, automated conversion pipelines, and interoperable interfaces. In the first release, the data schema unifies four trajectory datasets -- NGSIM, highD, CitySim, and UTE -- into a canonical format with oriented bounding boxes, kinematic variables, and pre-computed surrogate safety measures. Digital-twin maps in CARLA and calibrated traffic models provide integrated benchmarking environments. Case studies in human-factor research, traffic scene generation, and safety-critical modeling demonstrate that Ozone reduces experiment setup time by 85%, achieves 91% cross-city transfer efficiency for safety models, and improves cross-dataset reproducibility to within 3% variance. The source code and datasets are publicly available.
