TMC of the Future Dr. Bob Edelstein, PE, PTOE Senior Vice President
Overview Traffic Operations Centers Transportation Management Centers TMCs are transforming to be more proactive in addressing recurring as well as non-recurring congestion. TMC of the Future
Next Generation The next generation of TMCs will take on a wide range of new functionalities. TMC Co-location Managed Lanes Active Traffic Management Integrated Corridor Mgmt Connected Vehicles Public Private Partnerships TSM&O Operations Smart Cities
Houston TranStar Houston TranStar is a model for co-location of transportation and emergency management partners. TMC Partners TxDOT - Freeways Harris County Sheriff, Signals City of Houston Signals Metro Bus, Light Rail, Police Emergency Operations Center Regional Incident Mgmt System
New Jersey Statewide TMC The IBM-AECOM team developed an ATMS software to enable NJ Turnpike operations staff to learn from historical data to improve accuracy and quality of decisions. NJ DOT NJ Turnpike Garden State Parkway 511 Traveler Information State Police EOC Data Center

Active Traffic Management Hard Shoulder Running Variable Speed Limits Lane Control Signs Queue Warning Dynamic Messaging Active Traffic Management has been deployed in the UK, Denmark, Netherlands and Germany.
Active Traffic Management (MnDOT) Priced Dynamic Shoulder Lanes Intelligent Lane Control Signals In Pavement Lighting Managed Lanes MnDOT has integrated ATM with their Managed Lanes system in Minneapolis.
Active Traffic Management (WSDOT) WSDOT has implemented ATM in Seattle using variable speed limit and lane control signs.
Integrated Corridor Management
ICM Demo Real-time Decision Support Managed Lanes Light Rail Transit Responsive Signal Operation Real-time Transit Data / Info Actionable Traveler Info Dallas is one of two sites that have been advanced to demonstrate Integrated Corridor Management. Coordinated Network Management Joint O&M Plan
Connected Vehicles Real-Time Data Capture Dynamic Mobility Applications Predictive Analytics Decision Support Systems Connected vehicles enable safe, interoperable networked wireless communications among vehicles, the infrastructure, and passengers' personal communications devices.

Public-Private Partnerships Concept of Operations Agreements Cost Sharing Consistency Public Private Partnerships require a well-conceived concept of operations and well-defined agreements.
Public-Private Partnerships Control Room Operations Traveler Information Incident Management Maintenance P3 projects need to provide consistency between the Concessionaire and the existing ITS system.
