Abstract:This report documents the research project “Responder Study Phase 3: Testing and Support.” The goal of the research was to have a working Responder system that is deployable by the end of the project. Responder is a communication tool that integrates hardware, software, and communications to provide incident responders—particularly those in rural areas with sparse communication coverage—with an easy-to-use means to accurately collect and communicate at-the-scene information with their managers and the Transportation Management Center (TMC). The core of the current research was field testing the Responder system in four Caltrans districts. Based on the field testing feedback, Caltrans Maintenance operators generally find the Responder system useful and are pleased with it. The system, as specified in the Caltrans committee-developed and approved system requirements, is ready for implementation. Efforts are underway through a related AHMCT research project to transition Responder system manufacturing to a third-party contractor. However, multiple districts have requested that additional functionality outside of the system requirements be added to the system before it can be used in a fully-operational manner in their respective incident response workflows.
