ITS Architecture • Statewide ITS Architecture • 5 Regional Architectures • PSRC –Seattle and Tacoma • Thurston Co. – Olympia • Clark Co. – Vancouver, WA • Spokane Co. – Spokane • Whatcom Co. – USA/Canada border
ITS Plans • ITS Strategic Plan – 1993 • Currently updating plan • ITS Implementation plans completed for all 6 regions
Areas of Emphasis • ITS Planning and Communications plans • CVO, Intermodal movements and border crossings • Traveler Information Systems • Statewide HAR system • CARS • CAD Integration
Areas of Emphasis • Traveler Information Systems (cont’d) • Road, Weather Information Systems • 511 • TSP • MDSS
Statewide Communications Plan Why a Communications Plan? • 90s study identified fiber or microwave • “Light Lanes” shared resources project • Need for C2C connections and more wireless capability.
Border and Freight Projects Edward McCormack
Northbound Truck Transponders • Transponders in truck’s window track in-bond containers • Software clears out bond at border (without paperwork) • Allows Customs to pre-arrive northbound trucks • Operational at this time
Southbound System • Trucks hauling southbound in-bond containers are tagged • Assists Canada Customs intracking exported cargo • Provide U.S. Customs with advance notice of in-bond imports headed for ports • May automatically clear bond at ports
The eSeal • Disposable transponder for container door • Costs $5 to $40? • Tamper indicator message • Readable at 35 MPH • Transmits unique ID number
Two Operational Tests of eSeals • US Department of Agriculture: Prohibited food stuffs • Westwood Shipping Lines: Auto parts from Japan
USDA eSeal Test • In-transit containers of prohibited foods “lost” • Track containers from Texas and Port of Tacoma to Canada • Reader at border indicates when containers have left country
Westwood Shipping eSeal Test • Track auto parts from Japan through Port of Seattle to Canada • Customs inspectorsread seals at Port of Seattle • Read containersat border
TMCs • TMCs • All but Bellingham operate 24/7 • Tacoma, Yakima and Vancouver are joint facilities with WSP • Spokane Regional TMC operated by 5 agencies • City, county, state, MPO, Transit • Statewide TMC in Olympia in planning • Fiber systems in place in Seattle, Spokane, Tacoma and Vancouver,
Statewide HAR System Integration • ITS Deployment Project
HARMajor Project Elements • Upgrade field equipment • Workstation based control for each region • Workstations connected to central server • Broadcasts available on the web for the public, media, and operation center coordination statewide
CAD-TMCIntegration Project • FHWA FOT Project
CAD - Major Project Elements • Provide Real-Time CAD Data to WSDOT Operations Centers • Create incident reports in CARS automatically from CAD data for posting to the web and 511 • Send data from the WSDOT Ops Centers to WSP for inclusion in WSP operations • Bring a local agency partner into the system and test the benefits
511 Overview: • Callers are asked to select from the following: • Real-time traffic information for the central Puget Sound area • Roadway conditions and construction information - statewide • Mountain passes (road restrictions and weather conditions) • Ferry Information (connects to ferry info number) • Other (express lane status, phone numbers for public transit, passenger rail, airlines, and adjacent states or provinces.)
Rainier National Park(MORA ITS Coordination) • Rural ITS Project
MORA ITS CoodinationMajor Project Elements • MORA • Develop ITS Architecture and Deployment Plan • Initial deployment focused on real-time traveler information: parking lot monitoring and travel time determination • WSDOT • Integrate MORA into Statewide ITS Architecture • Develop cooperative relationship for sharing roadway information with Regions • Deploy CMS, CCTV, and HAR on approaches to the Park
Transit Signal Priority Integration with Lynnwood ATMS Puget Sound Regional Implementation
Tacoma Narrows Bridge • New toll bridge with six manual toll lanes and 3 electronic toll lanes • Title 21 (or 5.9 GHz DSRC standard) • Transcore to supply, install, operate and maintain tolling system Role – Negotiate agreements and promote interoperability with other regional projects (CVISN, HOT, Mega, etc.)
ITS Research • Performance Measures • Land Surface Model Improvements • Congestion Prediction using Cellular Automata • Transit Vehicles as Probes • Uncalibrated CCTV for speed measurement • ATIS User Benefits.
