Abstract:This report presents the results of a 16-month project for system development and design of a model for a Travel Management Coordination Center (TMCC) using ITS capabilities. The system was designed as a tool to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and data, enabling seamless coordination of transportation across geographic regions, programs, funding entities, private/public/non-profit providers, caregivers, and travel coordinators. The efforts put forth in this project involved countless discussions, meetings, research, cardboard modeling, and verification sessions. The entire team worked for almost 16 months and was able to translate a design “vision” into a practical product that can be implemented in multiple locations without difficulty. MART took the most practical and essential elements of that design and developed them into a working portal that met our stakeholders’ needs and provided an expandable platform from which we could continue to develop the entire system as future funding became available. This program provides a platform in which providers and travelers have access to the same system (using the Web) and can achieve more efficient transportation utilization. At the same time, providers can achieve a higher degree of cooperation among themselves by sharing resources and benefits.
