Project Title:   FY 2001 STATE OF NEBRASKA EXTENSIBLE MARK-UP LANGUAGE (XML) SOFTWARE
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project is a component of the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for Nebraska. The project objective is the development and implementation of an Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) application capable of automatic transmission of incident data. Project implementation will provide automated incident-related data exchange between Nebraska State Patrol and Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR). Benefits resulting from this project include significantly decreased incident response times through increased transmission speed and improved quality control of message accuracy. Improved center-to-center communications resulting from this application offers significant potential for other ITS applications.
