  1. Maryland’sCoordinated Highways Action Response Team “Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!” Richard R. Dye, CHART Systems Administrator E-mail: rdye@sha.state.md.us

  2. Maryland Department of Transportation • Maryland Aviation Administration • Mass Transit Administration • Maryland Port Administration • Motor Vehicle Administration • State Highway Administration State Highway Administration Planning and Engineering Operations Administration 7 District Offices Office of Materials Technology Office of Traffic & Safety Office of Maintenance Office of Construction Office of CHART & ITS Development Organization

  3. CHART Focus Areas • Incident Management • Traffic and Roadway Monitoring • Traveler Information • Traffic Management • Emergency and Weather Event Operations

  4. CHART Operations Centers – Satellite Traffic Operations Centers • Washington DC: College Park State Police Barracks • Baltimore: Golden Ring State Police Barracks • Frederick: The Frederick Law Enforcement Center (Co-located with MSP and County Sheriff’s Office) • Mountain Region: La Vale SHA District 6 Office • Seasonal: Eastern Shore Traffic Ooperations (operating out of the SOC)

  5. There are a lot of people who will be talking about the far future (which I admit is only 10 years or so in the world of technology.) I was asked to focus on what CHART has concrete plans to do in the future. A great American sent me an email back in 2006 which said: “The future of technology, or at least what people won't shut up about, is wireless. You know, things like walkmans, flashlights, and solar calculators”* I think we have done a little better than that… and there is more to come. *Do yourself a favor and look this quote up for a great presentation on “technology!”

  6. CHART Advanced Traffic Management System Software • To know where we are going… we have to look at the building blocks of the path that got us here 1996 2005 2014

  7. CHART Advanced Traffic Management System Software • From 1996 to 2005 the push was for more permanent Traffic Management Centers and more field devices 1996 2005 DMS 25 73 CCTV 22 165 HAR 4 34 Weather Stations 0 46 TMCs 4 42 Permanent (State,Local,Private, etc)

  8. CHART Advanced Traffic Management System Software • But more devices allowed more geographically diverse users so from 2005 to 2012 the push was to be able to share the information and control with other 1st responders 2005 2012

  9. CHART Advanced Traffic Management System Software • Since 2012 we have been building in more systems intelligence • Ensures more consistent response to the public • Allows more junior operators to be allowed to use the system with less direct supervision 2012 2014

  10. CHART Advanced Traffic Management System Software • The push for more users and devices continues Now The Future (next 4 years) DMS 326 ?? (we are building more and getting access to even more from others!) CCTV 838 ?? (we are building more and getting access to even more from others!) HAR 34 Probably 0 Weather Stations 66 ?? (we are building more and getting access to even more from others!) TMCs CHART is now a statewide intranet and secure internet application and has over 381 users spread across 91 muli-jurisdictional sites with complete access to all of the CHART system information and capable of event and device control.

  11. CHART Advanced Traffic Management System Software • More Flexible Software modules and integrated networks are also necessary to continue the growth of users and subsystems The Future (next 4 years)

  12. CHART Advanced Traffic Management System Software • And to keep up with more traffic and fewer experienced operators the systems will have to get smarter The Future (next 4 years)
