Abstract:Decision support tools were developed in previous Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT)
research projects to allow for better analysis and visualization of historical traffic and incident
data, in support of incident management and traffic management centers (TMCs). The goal of
this demonstration project is to implement the use of these decision support tools at a traffic
management center in Florida and demonstrate the benefits of these tools in a traffic management
center (TMC) environment. The TMC of FDOT District 5 was selected as the demonstration site.
Three decision support functions were implemented for the I-4 corridor managed by FDOT
District 5. These are “normal day” traffic pattern and parameter identification, incident impact
estimation, and historical detector data “play back” using the Remote Traffic Microwave Sensor
(RTMS) simulator.
