Abstract:

The following case study provides a snapshot of the Boston Central Artery/Tunnel Integration Project Control System (IPCS) operations control 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 IPCS operations control center. The IPCS is an integrated traffic management and system control and data acquisition application for Boston's 7.5-mile Central Artery/Tunnel. The system features a high density of field equipment, and double or triple redundancy in many elements. The traffic management components of the IPCS also support travel through the heart of Boston and to and from Logan Airport. The objectives of the IPCS are to: monitor security, traffic, and systems status; and respond to incidents, nonstandard needs, or equipment failures rapidly and effectively.
