The Utah DOT took a unique approach to integrating RWIS into their daily traffic operations, particularly during the winter months. The five divisions of the TOC all have independent responsibilities…
Higher call volume leads to greater system efficiency of 511 systems because O&M costs can be distributed over many callers. Despite this fact, marketing and evaluation was the smallest cost…
In March 2005, railroad workers in a rail yard in South Salt Lake City, Utah discovered a tanker car from which a large quantity of toxic chemicals had spilled onto the ground. The risk that a…
The integration of a Transportation Management Center (TMC) with Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems requires extensive involvement from a large number of people representing both the public and…
The integration of a transportation management center (TMC) with Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems requires extensive involvement from all participating agencies. For transit agencies, it is…
The integration of a Transportation Management Center (TMC) with a Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system requires numerous agencies to share large quantities of information. To avoid inefficiencies…
Transportation Management Centers are established around the country to integrate data, information, and systems in support of day-to-day traffic and emergency operations. Incomplete or inaccessible…
In addition to highlighting current best practices for emergency integration and ways to improve current levels of integration, this study recommends investment in the development of new methods and…
Weather events have both major and minor impacts on transportation management operations. During seasonal weather events, these impacts may include reduced traffic flow or increased traffic incidents…
The CP system uses an algorithm to predict whether trains will arrive late at a station and whether a "hold until" message should be issued to buses at the station. Essentially, the system monitors…
UTA's CP system algorithm integrates both train and bus schedule data, taking into account estimated train arrival time, train schedule, real-time train position based on Global Positioning System (…
An important factor that influences the willingness of bus operators to wait for late trains is the tightness of their bus schedule. If a bus is late getting to a rail station and the riders miss the…
The Guidelines suggest that one of the major issues to be considered when developing a 511 system is to understand that deployment costs will vary. The implementer should anticipate the challenges of…
For a 511 system to be successful, it has to provide information that is useful and beneficial to its customer, the traveling public. To be effective the implementer has to perform "before" research…
