Abstract:Transportation management centers (TMCs) operate as the hub of the surface transportation system and are responsible for operating the latest Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) technology, including data collection, command and control of ITS devices, incident response, and communication for transportation networks. TMCs are the focal point for agencies to operate their transportation systems as efficiently as possible with surrounding ITS infrastructure. Multimodal in nature, TMCs involve the coordination of state and local transportation agencies, transit agencies, tolling agencies, and public safety agencies. New technologies, advances in telecommunications, and emerging sources of data have enabled the emergence of new capabilities and possibilities with “NextGeneration” traffic management systems (TMSs). These systems offer the potential to transform how agencies actively manage and operate the surface transportation system while improving the safety and mobility of all travelers. These advances, along with the availability of emerging sources of data (including Bluetooth, probe and connected vehicle data), high speed telecommunication networks, advanced computing, and the integration and sharing of information represent a generational shift from previous methodologies developed and deployed for TMSs and TMCs.
