Abstract:

The following case study provides a snapshot of Michigan's Intelligent Transportation Systems transportation management center (MITSC). 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 downtown Detroit transportation management center. The Michigan Intelligent Transportation System Transportation Management Center (MITSC) contains both an original system dating from 1981 covering 32.5 miles, and an expansion of the system to cover a total of 180 centerline miles of freeway that is still being constructed. A formal set of goals and objectives are being developed. Based on discussions to date, the primary system objectives are to: improve safety and air quality, and reduce stress for motorists. The focus of activity in the MITSC is to make the traveler's trip less stressful by providing better information to the traveler.
