Project Title:   WILLIAMSON COUNTY/ROUND ROCK, TEXAS INTEGRATION PROJECT
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project is the FY 2001 Integration Program earmark for Williamson County/Round Rock. Williamson County and the City of Round Rock, Texas are linked by the I-35 and US 183 corridors. The Texas DOT has deployed a freeway corridor traffic management system along these corridors. Both jurisdictions employ computer-aided dispatch (CAD) systems to respond to incidents.

Current integration between these systems is limited to telephone technology. In recognition of the compelling need for each jurisdiction to be aware of roadway incidents in the adjoining area, this project will integrate the existing Williamson County and Round Rock CAD systems with the Texas DOT advanced traffic management system. This integration will provide County and City authorities with roadway incident information to support appropriate incident management and emergency response.
