Transit Center Multi-Modal Coordination |
The equipment package supports transit service coordination between transit properties and coordinates with other surface and air transportation modes. As part of service coordination, this equipment package shares schedule and trip information, as well as transit transfer cluster (a collection of stop points, stations, or terminals where transfers can be made conveniently) and transfer point information between Multimodal Transportation Service Providers, Transit Agencies, and ISPs. An interface to Traffic Management also supports demand management strategies. |

TMC Traffic Network Performance Evaluation |
This equipment package measures traffic network performance and predicts travel demand patterns to support traffic flow optimization, demand management, and incident management. This equipment package collects traffic data from sensors and surveillance equipment as well as input from other traffic management centers, emissions management, transit operations, and event promoters and uses this information to measure traffic network performance. It collects route planning information from information service providers and integrates and uses this information to predict future traffic conditions. The planned control strategies can be passed back to the Information Service Provider so that the intended strategies can be reflected in future route planning. |

TMC Traffic Management Decision Support |
This equipment package recommends courses of action to the traffic operator based on current and forecast road and traffic conditions. Traffic incidents, special events, maintenance activities and other events or conditions that impact capacity or demand are monitored. Historical data and models are used to compare the impact of potential courses of action and make recommendations to the operator. Decisions are supported through presentation of filtered and fused network-wide road and traffic conditions that identify network imbalances and recommended courses of action. The recommended actions may include predefined incident response plans, signal timing plan changes, DMS/HAR messages, truck restrictions, lane control strategies, metering strategies, and adjustment of variable speed limits. Multimodal strategies may also be recommended that include suggested transit strategies and suggested route and mode choices for travelers. Once a course of action is selected, other equipment packages implement these actions within the traffic management center and coordinate the response with other centers in the region. |
