| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |

| Project Description: | This is a multi-phase project begun in February 1999 with Phase I funded solely through TxDOT. Phase I of the Center-to-Center Communications (C2C2) Project, when deployed will provide data on freeway conditions on a graphical map for a combined Dallas/Ft. Worth ITS Internet Web site. Phases II and III were awarded in FY 99 using the FY 99 "State of Texas" earmarked funding in the FY 99 ITS Integration Program appropriations. Phase II of the C2C2 pilot project will extend the data server capabilities beyond freeway conditions to support coordinated incident management, information sharing, and remote device monitoring and control. The final phase of the project is intended to deploy an effective, reusable and fully interoperable C2C2 system in other ITS regions throughout Texas. This final phase will include additional development and integration activities to extend the multi-modal, multi-center and interoperable capabilities of the data server and related subsystems. FY 2002 ITS Integration Program funding earmarked for this project continues the multi-phased effort to deploy Center-to-Center (C2C) communications capabilities in I-35 Corridor from Dallas/Fort Worth to Laredo, and the I-10 Corridor from Houston-to-El Paso. C2C communications capabilities previously developed for Dallas and Fort Worth will be deployed in the seven Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) within these two corridors. This will enable the TMCs to achieve higher levels of effectiveness in delivering commercial vehicle operations and traveler information services along these corridors. An added benefit will be the development of a statewide Traveler Information System that will serve commercial vehicle operators and the traveling public outside of the designated corridors. Traveler information from all TMCs with C2C communications capabilities will be fed to a centralized statewide Website accessible to the public. |
