Automated TMC Performance Measurement System

Principal Investigator(s): None
Current Researchers: None

Project Write-up:
Fundamental functions of a transportation management center (TMC) include monitoring traffic conditions, responding to incidents, and generally improving the quality of transportation. In their daily operations, most TMCs collect and record data about accidents, including location, responding agencies, lane closures, weather, etc. The ability to manage and view this data in both real-time and archived is difficult. Furthermore, the ability to derive statistics about the performance of the traffic management system is a daunting task. This research strives to develop an on-line performance measurement tool that can automatically calculate many standard TMC performance measures while also allowing for incident re-creation, training, visualization, etc.
