MARYLAND STATE HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION'S "SYSTEM" OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTERS
In the spring of 1995, the Maryland State Highway Administration (MSHA) will go on-line with one of the most comprehensive traffic management center systems in the nation. In this case, "system" refers to the six traffic-management centers in the Chesapeake Highway Advisories Routing Traffic (CHART) architecture. Some of these centers are owned and operated by other agencies, have different geographical responsibilities, and have varying functional requirements and authorization levels. The new Statewide Operations Center (SOC) will be the hub of this system. The system will monitor and manage the Baltimore-Washington Corridor and selected seasonal corridors. It will provide advanced traffic-management capabilities through real-time data collection, detection, surveillance, incident-management and motorist-information subsystems. The traffic-management system's sophistication lies not only in its architecture of satellite centers, but in its control system, which must accommodate diverse users while defining and coordinating the command and control rules among them.
