Abstract:This activity involves the conceptual design, construction and implementation of a Traffic Operations Center (TOC) for the Denver area. Establishing a TOC is central to the success of IVHS in the Denver area. Its importance will continue beyond the short-term phase and well into the future when the TOC expands its role in supporting and managing available and emerging IVHS technologies over these time periods. A conceptual layout of the TOC is shown in Figure A-l. The TOC will be a multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency facility. Space will be provided for Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and Colorado State Patrol (CSP) personnel, as well as for public/private sector staff including traffic engineers from cities and counties in the Denver area, the media, traffic information services, enforcement and fire agencies and emergency medical response organizations. CDOT and CSP will integrate staff positions for dispatch and call-taking functions, to take advantage of the cost efficiencies inherent in a pooled, multifunctional employee base. The TOC will be an important platform from which to improve dialogue and cooperation between Denver area jurisdictions. It will also provide opportunities to establish educational and research programs as well as partnerships with the private sector. The board multi-jurisdictional base of the Denver area TOC, along with the range of functions provided, will combine to form an operations center unmatched in North America.
