IMPLEMENTING EVENT MANAGEMENT AND PERFORMANCE MEASURE REPORTING IN A DISTRIBUTED TMC ENVIRONMENT USING CENTER-TO-CENTER

The State of Florida initiated a program in October 2003 to develop a software system (known as SunGuideSM) that was to be deployed in multiple Traffic Management Centers (TMCs). Currently the software has been deployed in five major metropolitan areas (Ft. Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, and Tampa). Each of these TMCs manages events using video cameras, Dynamic Message Signs (DMSs), detectors, Highway Advisory Radios (HARs) and Road Rangers (vehicles that are deployed to assist motorists and to assist inûmanaging events). SunGuideSM was designed and implemented to facilitate the managing of events and the generation of performance measure reports. The software allows data to be exchanged using a standards based Center-to-Center (C2C) infrastructure so that a TMC may engage the assets of other TMCs as well as to generate performance measure reports on a regional basis. This paper describes the system design, implementation, and lessons learned from the development of the event management and reporting components of the system.
