• Abstract:
  The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) maintains a variety of independent applications to monitor roadway ; conditions and activities across the state including traffic counts, weather data, signal timing, Variable Message Sign (VMS) ; advisory messages, video signals, and statewide Highway Condition Reporting System (HCRS) events. Each ITS field ; device has its own proprietary device driver application and output data stream format. ; This report summarizes an Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) research program by ADOT to consolidate statewide ; user workstation access to a subset of the various ITS field devices via a “single-screen.” The implementation of this ability ; involved the development of software interfaces with device driver applications via the Internet and intranet. This resulted in ; the centralization and improved availability and archiving of traffic data derived from the associated ITS field devices, as well ; as data from the Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS) via the HCRS. This outcome improved the real-time aspect ; of the operational management of the state highway system. Ultimately, the driving public will be able to plan their travel with ; more consistent, reliable and timely information via the Internet, and access this real-time information en route via the 511 ; Interactive Voice Response system (IVR). ; A second project phase introduced a graphical interface to HCRS to automate location information and improve data entry ; accuracy for field operations staff.
