2 Overall Strategy Statewide Mobility Plan Congestion Strategies Build Capacity Reduce Demand Manage Capacity Transportation Operations (TSOP)

3 TSOP Projects (Projects Underway) TSOP 01: Inter Agency Incident Reporting System (IRS) TSOP 02: Road Closure Reporting System (RCRS) TSOP 03: Interstate Incident Management Program TSOP 04: IM Traveler Information TSOP 05: Incident Management Processes and Procedures TSOP 06: Roadway Weather Management TSOP 07: Crash Prevention/Safety TSOP 09: STMC and TMCs TSOP 08: TAC Signal Study Implementation TSOP 10: ITS Equipment Maintenance TSOP 11: Technology Assisted Enforcement TSOP 12: Mobility in Work Zones TSOP 13: ITS and IT TSOP 14: Operations Mainstreaming TSOP 15: Advanced Planning and Strategy TSOP 16: Data Acquisition and Archiving TSOP 17: Statewide Transit Operations TSOP 18: Freight Movements Assessment TSOP 19: CVO Partnership with PSP

4 Current Operating Procedure ITS Operations vary by PennDOT District District 6 0 (Philadelphia) only 24/7 center Some Districts beyond normal working hours Some Districts normal working hours only Some Districts have very limited ITS operations

5 Current Operating Procedure Limited ITS field device coverage in urban and rural areas Districts deploy elements according to their specific needs No previous statewide plan for ITS device deployment Many gaps exist in coverage Existing coverage may not include all needed ITS elements

6 Current Operating Procedure No consolidated control of existing elements Districts have individual methods for controlling their elements Limited interoperability of existing elements between Districts Limited utilization of existing information sources PSP / 911/ PEMA /PTC Traffic focused private enterprises News Media Sources SEPTA and other transit agencies

7 TSOP 02 Road Closure Reporting System (RCRS) PennDOT s standard incident reporting tool Foundation for other TSOP efforts Used during PEMA SEOC activations 24/7 use for major incidents

8 RCRS Phases Emergency activations Incident Communication Process (ICP) Winter interstate road conditions Construction and maintenance activities Public interface GATIR interface EDRS incorporated

10 TSOP 01: Inter agency Incident Reporting System (IRS) Purpose / definition Provides the ability to share data and information between agencies Facilitates use of existing systems Why needed Improves incident coordination Near real time information for incident response Reduces duplication of efforts

11 IRS Envisioned Features Incident Management Partners Tool for achieving ITS Architecture Current statewide software through OA View only access to non PennDOT owned data (PTC, etc.) Allow view only access of PennDOT data by partners Public Information for 511 Information via website

12 IRS Envisioned Features Extensive Data Integration Capabilities Consolidates all essential TMC operator functions Integrated user interface PennDOT systems Road Closure Reporting System (RCRS) Emergency Detour Routing System (EDRS) ATMS (ITS field element control software) DOH, PEMA (already included OA s GATIR) PSP, PTC, Other state systems

15 Statewide Operations Strategy Optimal Statewide Operational Environment (TSOP 09) Statewide Strategy for Traffic Management Centers Selected from a comprehensive list of possible operational environments and potential functions Includes phased implementation Statewide ITS Field Device Master Plan (TSOP 03) Strategy for deploying devices based on a statewide approach Input from regions for local needs Limited funding

16 2 RTMCs and an STMC/RTMC

17

18 Phased Implementation Approach Optimal Statewide Operational Environment Statewide Traffic Management Center (STMC) 2 Regional Traffic Management Centers (RTMCs) Advanced Traffic Management Software (ATMS) Information Exchange System 511 Traveler Information System ITS Field Devices

19 Phased Implementation Approach Interim Operational Environment Interim STMC Upgraded RTMCs Basic Control of Existing Elements Communications System Basic 24/7 Statewide Environment

20 Statewide Operations Strategy Benefits of GIS Tools Personnel operating ITS devices in other regions Speed of operations is critical Information must be complete and accurate Consolidated information

21 Operations Planning Next Steps Regional Operations Plans TSOP 2007

22 TSOP and GIS TSOP 01 TSOP 02 TSOP 03 TSOP 04 TSOP 09 Sharing of information with other agencies. One stop software. Basis for RCRS presentation ITS field device view and control Critical component for web 511 Enhanced RTMCs/STMC operational capabilities
