Project Title:   NEBRASKA ITS INCIDENT MANAGEMENT COORDINATION AND INTEGRATION
     
Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project is a component of the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program State of Nebraska earmark. This project is designed to facilitate the integration and incorporation of operational changes into the Incident Management Manual resulting from ITS deployments in the Omaha Metropolitan area and the I-80 Corridor.

The need for the area Incident Management Manual is generated by the expanding deployment of both metropolitan and rural ITS infrastructure along the I-80 Corridor. The development of the manual will harmonize incident management practices in a setting where legacy systems and procedures require integration with newer ITS technologies. Emphasis will be placed on training and outreach to ensure smooth implementation of procedures outlined in the manual.
