MCM Environmental Information Collection

Remotely controls environmental sensors and assimilates collected data with other current and forecast road conditions and surface weather information from weather service providers and transportation operations.

 

MCM Environmental Information Processing

Processes current and forecast weather data, road condition information, local environmental data, and uses internal models to develop specialized detailed forecasts of local weather and surface conditions. Disseminates road weather information to other agencies and centers.

 

MCM Incident Management

Supports coordinated response to incidents - share incident notifications, manage incident response resources, and coordinate overall incident situation and response among allied response organizations.

 

MCM Maintenance Decision Support

Maintenance Decision Support Systems recommend courses of action based on current and forecast environmental and road conditions (filtered and fused for specific time horizons) and additional application specific information. Recommendations and dispatch instructions are generated based on this integrated information.

 

MCM Roadway Maintenance and Construction

Overall management and support for routine maintenance on the roadway or right-of-way. Includes landscape maintenance, hazard removal (roadway debris, dead animals), routine maintenance activities (roadway cleaning, grass cutting), and repair and maintenance of both ITS and non-ITS equipment.

 

MCM Vehicle and Equipment Maintenance Management

Monitors vehicle and equipment condition, tracks maintenance history, and schedules routine and corrective maintenance.

 

MCM Vehicle Tracking

Remotely tracks the location of maintenance and construction vehicles and other equipment; presented to the center personnel.

 

MCM Work Activity Coordination

Disseminates work activity schedules to other agencies. Work schedules are coordinated, factoring in the needs and activities of other agencies and adjacent jurisdictions.

 

MCM Work Zone Management

Remotely monitors and supports work zone activities, controlling traffic through portable dynamic message signs (DMS) and informing other groups of activity (e.g., traveler information systems, traffic management centers, other maintenance and construction centers).

 

MCM Work Zone Safety Management

Remotely monitors work zone safety systems that detect vehicle intrusions in work zones and warns crew workers and drivers of imminent encroachment. Crew movements are also monitored so that the crew can be warned of movement beyond the designated safe zone.
