TMC Toll/Parking Coordination Equipment Package

Architecture Geographic Scope

Description:

This Equipment package provides the transportation management center with the capability to transform and transmit network traffic congestion information to the Toll Administration or Parking Management so that dynamic pricing for demand management is possible.

 

Included in:

CDTC Real-Time Travel Demand Model System
City of Albany/City of Schenectady/Local TMC
NYSDOT/ NYSP Capital Region TMC
NYSTA Thruway Statewide Operations Center (TSOC)

Processes:

1.4.4Implement Demand Management Policy
  

User Service Requirements (fully or partially addressed):

1.0TRAVEL AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
1.8TRAVEL DEMAND MANAGEMENT
1.8.0ITS shall include a Travel Demand Management (TDM) function. Travel Demand Management will generate and communicate management and control strategies that will support and facilitate the implementation of TDM programs, policies and regulations. It consists of two major functions, which are, (1) Increase Efficiency of Transportation System and (2) Provide Wide Variety of Mobility Options.
1.8.1TDM shall include a communications function.

1.8.1.2The communications function shall include the capability to send information and rates needed to implement management and control strategies that respond to changing environments, conditions, and policy needs to include, but not limited to, the following locations of action:
1.8.1.2(e)Toll facilities.
1.8.1.2(f)Travel (and traveler) information facilities.
1.8.1.3TDM shall provide the capability to receive information and rates needed to implement management and control strategies that respond to changing environments, conditions, and policy needs to include, but not limited to, the following locations of action:
1.8.1.3(e)Toll facilities.
1.8.1.3(f)Travel (and traveler) information facilities.
1.8.1.4The communications function shall provide the capability to send information and data as needed to implement management and control strategies that respond to changing environments, conditions, and policy needs to include, but not limited to, the following:
1.8.1.5The communications function shall provide the capability to receive information and data from transportation operators and/or users that delineate their:
1.8.1.5(a)Current status.
1.8.1.5(b)Needs.
1.8.1.6The communications function shall include the capability for two-way communications with other ITS user services including, but not limited to, the following:
1.8.1.6(d)Ride Matching and Reservation.
1.8.2TDM shall include a processing function.
1.8.2.1The processing function shall provide the capability to generate management and control strategies that facilitate the implementation of policies and regulations designed to address the following:
1.8.2.2The processing function shall provide capabilities to enhance the ability to implement and enforce the following:
1.8.2.3Strategies developed by the processing function shall include the guidance for the operation of physical systems that:
1.8.2.3(a)Monitor traffic.
1.8.2.3(b)Inform travelers.
1.8.2.3(c)Collect fees.
1.8.2.3(d)Detect traffic.
1.8.2.4The processing function shall provide the capability generate guidance for the pricing and control for locations of action that include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.8.2.4(f)Travel information facilities.
1.8.2.5The processing function shall provide the capability to develop strategies for implementation of policies and regulations that will accommodate the following:
1.8.2.5(a)Public sector users and service providers.
1.8.2.5(b)Private sector users and service providers.
1.8.2.5(c)Issues of legality.
1.8.2.5(d)Privacy act.
1.8.2.5(e)Multi-jurisdictional settings.
1.8.2.6The processing function shall provide the capability to generate management and control strategies that dynamically respond to changing environments, conditions, and policies.
1.8.2.7The processing function's dynamically generated management and control strategies shall include the control of HOV facilities including, but not limited to, the following:
1.8.2.7(a)Lanes.
1.8.2.7(b)Ramps.
1.8.2.7(c)Parking areas.
1.8.2.8The processing function's generation of management and control strategies for HOV facilities shall include as factors, but not be limited to, the following:
1.8.2.8(a)Auto occupancy requirements.
1.8.2.9The processing function's dynamically generated management and control strategies shall include those roadway pricings that respond to the need for congestion control to include, but not be limited to, the following:
1.8.2.9(a)Road user and toll rates.
1.8.2.9(b)Transit fares adjusted concomitant with tolls.
1.8.2.9(c)Time of day usage pricing (i.e. off hour rates).
1.8.2.10The processing function's dynamically generated management and control strategies shall include the parking management and controls to include, but not be limited to, the following:
1.8.2.11The processing function's dynamically generated management and control strategies for parking management and controls shall be based on factors that include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.8.2.12The processing function's dynamically generated management and control strategies shall include the capability to respond to the need for control of pollution by generating messages for variable signs that include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.8.2.13The processing function's dynamically generated management and control strategies for air pollution control shall be based on factors that include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.8.2.14The processing function's dynamically generated management and control strategies shall include the capability to respond to the need for the travelers to change modes by generating messages for variable signs that include, but are not limited to, the following:
1.8.2.14(a)Where the mode change requests are being made.
1.8.2.14(b)How the mode changes are requested to be made.
