  10. Test Objectives • Document incident management benefits: • In-vehicle system integration • New in-vehicle capabilities • Multi-jurisdiction interoperability • Obtain user feedback: • New procedures and organizational frameworks • Enhancements to ALERT system

  11. Anticipated Benefits • Incident management effectiveness • Quicker response and clearance • More efficient resource allocation • Responder safety enhancement • Responder efficiency • Improved incident data collection • Fast and accurate reporting • User acceptance

  12. Major Area Technical development, testing and production ALERT vehicles ALERT.NET ALERT client software Procedures development, testing and implementation Operational test preparation and execution Leads FHWA/TTI; installation contractor Beltway agencies Beltway agencies Project Overview

  13. Beltway Agency Responsibilities • Own and operate ALERT vehicles • Develop and implement ALERT operating procedures • vehicle, agency, multi-jurisdiction levels • Provide non-ALERT baseline and concurrent incident management evaluation data • Provide assigned personnel • technical liaison, officers, supervisors, support

  14. Project Plan and Schedule (1 of 2) • Phase I (FY 1999-2000) • Complete ALERT vehicle and ALERT.NET design, development and laboratory testing • Fire, EMS, MAV • Wireless LAN application • Prepare for operations: • Deliver multiple vehicles to MD & VA State Police • Conduct user training • Develop and test initial operational procedures • Establish Center/ALERT.NET interoperability for each participating agency • Prepare test and evaluation plan

  15. Project Plan and Schedule (2 of 2) • Phase II (FY 2001) • Deliver all vehicles to participating law enforcement, fire, EMS, and MAV agencies • Train all users • Implement and refine operating and data collection procedures • Phase III (FY 2002) • Conduct operational test and evaluation • Analyze and report benefits
