| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |
|
| Project Description: | This project is one component of the FY 2000 State of Maryland ITS Integration Program earmark. The project will be a public/private partnership that will fill the traveler information gap along the Baltimore portion of the I-95 corridor, integrate the various types of multi-modal information that is collected in the region, and integrate with traveler information systems in the nearby regions of Washington, DC and Philadelphia, PA. Currently, traveler information is not provided on a large scale in the Baltimore region. All Baltimore MMTIS will ultimately be integrated within the system. The public will also be able to access general information for free. Data will be collected from the field equipment, consolidated in the MMTIS database, and disseminated via the MMTIS. Multi-modal information will be collected from public and private sources, fused, and disseminated to travelers. Disseminating technologies could include telephone, Internet, kiosks, pagers, and other applicable state-of-the-practice and emerging technologies. The project will develop interfaces between the infrastructure components and the MMTIS database and will also develop the user interfaces through which the information will be disseminated in a timely manner. With the participation of private partners, the Baltimore MMTIS will be implemented in a comparatively short time frame and will significantly improve operation of the region's transportation network. The project funds will promote timely transmission of valuable, free traveler information. The FY 2001 ITS Integration earmark for this project added $500,000 to support continuation activities. Funding amounts depicted below include FY 2001 earmarked funding. |
