Abstract:

The following case study provides a snapshot of Arizona's TrailMaster statewide transportation management center. It follows the outline provided in the companion document, Metropolitan Transportation Management Center Concepts of Operation - A Cross Cutting Study, which describes operations and management successful practices and lessons learned from eight transportation management centers in the United States and Canada. This case study reflects information gathered from interviews and observations at the TrailMaster transportation management center. In 1986, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) completed a study along I-17 and I-10. Based on the results of this study ADOT recommended that a freeway management system be implemented in metropolitan Phoenix. Consequently TrailMaster was developed to accomplish the following: support optimum use of the freeway system, provide a safe and efficient environment for users, and allow for more efficient use of ADOT resources.
