  15. Future

  16. What Will The Future Look Like? Traffic Management Congestion Management Incident Management Emergency Management

  17. What Will The Future Look Like?

  18. What Will The Future Look Like? • Traffic and Congestion Management • Reactive / Active / Predictive • Near Real-time Based on Archived Data • Dissemination of Traffic and Traveler Information • Personalized Service • Applications Based • Dynamic Routing • Rules Based • “Management” vs. “Monitoring” • Incident and Emergency Management • Reactive • Integration with CAD • Greater Involvement / Priority of Safety Service Patrols • Near Real-time Exchange of Information

  19. What Will The Future Look Like? • Data, Data and more Data • Archived Data • Traffic Analysis and Planning Optimize Existing Infrastructure and Operations • Predictive Modeling and Simulation

  20. What Will The Future Look Like? • TMC Activities • Geographic or Functional Roles and Responsibilities • Increased Workload • Interoperability; Failover / Switchover • Multimodal • Consolidate vs. Decentralized • Consolidate • Control Room Activities • Decentralized • Safety Service Patrols • Maintenance

  21. What Will The Future Look Like? • Monitoring • Management • Focus: • Monitoring Traffic Conditions • Dissemination of Information • Commuters • Setting: • Recurring Congestion • Rush Hour • Goals: • Change Route(s) • Change Timing / Schedule • Change Mode • Decision-maker • Consumer • Transfer All Decision Risks • Focus: • Monitoring Traffic Conditions • Dissemination of Information • All Travelers • Setting: • Traffic Management • Incident Management • Goals: • Change Route(s) • Change Timing / Schedule • Change Mode • Decision-maker • Consumer / Agency • Sharing of Decision Risks

  22. What Will The Future Look Like? • Similar Challenges / New Approach • Management vs. Monitoring • Better, Faster, Cheaper Services in Near Real Time • More Valuable • More Technology Integrated into the Control Room • Probe Vehicle Data • Predictive Modeling / Simulation • Active Traffic Management / Managed Lanes • Variable Speed Limits • More / Better Interoperability Between TOCs / TMCs • Multimodal Integration and Operation
