CROSS-FERTILIZATION : THE XTMS SYSTEM GIVES REAL-TIME ACCESS TO INFORMATION FROM OTHER LOCATIONS TO MANAGERS AND CONTROLLERS ACROSS A WIDE REGIONAL AREA, VASTLY INCREASING TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT EFFICACY

This article describes how an Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) can enable Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) to have on-demand access to CCTV cameras , allowing them to share live images with other facilities and agencies. It gives the example of the Traffic Management Center, established by District 4 of the California Department of Transportation, and how it provides real-time information to the California Highway Patrol, the TravInfo commuter information center, and the City of San Jose (which acts as a virtual node). Other linked virtual nodes, could be agencies, organizations and the government. The article discusses additional benefits of an ITMS, such as video conferencing, efficient administrative features and cost-effectiveness.
