Abstract:Advanced communications technology is the engine that continually moves AZTech closer to its goal of integrating transportation systems throughout the region. At the heart of this technology is a state-of-the-art Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) system that provides motorists and public agencies with real-time views of traffic conditions. While state freeways have been equipped with CCTV through the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT) Trailmaster freeway management system, video surveillance has not extended to the arterial network of city streets. For AZTech to successfully integrate individual transportation systems, it would need to identify a method of effectively linking the Traffic Operations Centers (TOCs) of its municipal partners with ADOT's TOC. Most of the area's municipalities, however, aren't equipped with the kind of fiber-optic infrastructure that supports the Trailmaster system.
