Project Title:   KANSAS CITY REGION INTEGRATED AUTOMATION SYSTEM DEVICES
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   The objective of this FY 1999 ITS Integration Program project is the deployment of Integrated Automation Management System Devices (computer hardware) for the new Traffic Operation Centers (TOC) in the Kansas City Region. These devices will serve as the central processing units for the Kansas City Region. The operations of Freeway, Incident and Corridor Management Subsystems will be controlled through these devices. Center-to-center communications between other region partners (emergency services, transit, information service providers, etc.) and other Midwest cities in Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska, etc., will result as part of sharing regional transportation information. Completion of this project has been delayed by a requirement to integrate systems with a related project, the Kansas City Scout Freeway Management System, whose software has been delayed.
