ITS Projects Book January 2003


Project Title:   SPRINGFIELD, VIRGINIA INTERSTATE INTERCHANGE
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This integration project addresses one aspect of the integration of infrastructure in the Springfield Interstate improvement project. The ITS integration component to be addressed is the enhanced use of video imagery to include video transfer between agencies and organizations. The specific project focus is to provide video feeds between existing VDOT Smart Traffic Centers and others, such as the Fairfax County Public Safety Dispatch Center and the Springfield Interchange Office of the State Police.

A smaller, companion effort to this video sharing initiative is to ensure that the existing incident management plan and manual are current and up-to-date. A review of the existing regional plan and manual will be conducted to determine any needed revisions, especially as they may relate to the Springfield Interchange project and video sharing.
