| Project Description: | This project is a component of the FY 2002 ITS Integration Program Maryland Statewide earmark. Maryland's application of ITS is known as the Coordinated Highways Action Response Team (CHART). The CHART Program employs computer technology, electronics and communications, safety, and security systems to manage surface transportation facilities. This project will procure and deploy a mobile command and communications vehicle to support statewide incident response and management coordination among all responding agencies. This vehicle will be fully integrated with and build on current CHART operations by promoting inter-agency operational coordination and cooperation by providing a versatile platform from which responding agencies can operate during emergency situations. |
