Abstract:The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) is pursuing a statewide Traffic Operations Center (TOC) to improve transportation on its roadways. The effort required to establish a TOC is significant; thus, the SDDOT commissioned a feasibility study and report. The project gathered stakeholder input, performed research on nationwide practices, and interviewed several nearby state DOTs on TOC functions, best practices, and lessons learned. Common TOC practices were described and categorized. Existing, planned, and future technologies used by SDDOT were documented in operational concepts, where examples were written to demonstrate what traffic operations would look like with a TOC compared to current practice. An alternatives analysis evaluated five models of a TOC ranging in complexity against a no-build option. The findings of the report recommend continuing efforts toward a TOC by starting with a simple TOC deployment and building toward a more complex 24/7/365 facility. Recommended next steps include conducting a facility assessment of the Sioux Falls Public Safety Campus, following the systems engineering processes to develop more planning documents, and pursuing grants to reduce the financial burden on the SDDOT.
