BALTIMORE REGIONAL OPERATIONS COORDINATION PROJECT |
|
| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Deployment/Integration |
|
| Project Description: | This project is a component of the State of Maryland FY 2000 ITS Integration Program earmark. The purpose of this project is integration between operations - between transportation and public safety, between jurisdictions and the state, between transit and roadway, and between highway and arterial. The Regional Operations Coordination project will have two phases: Phase 1: Planning; and Phase 2: Deployment. Most of the funds requested by this project will be used for Phase 1 tasks. However, several Coordination Activities have been identified in the area of Incident Management, and these activities will be deployed concurrent with Phase 1 tasks. Phase 1 generally involves developing a logical and physical architecture for regional operations and identifying Coordination Activities that would enhance regional coordination. Phase 1 tasks will include: defining goals, objectives, and operational requirements and concepts; defining system functional requirements; compiling existing systems and operations information; developing logical and physical architectures; and identifying Coordination Activities. Phase 2 will involve deployment of selected Coordination Activities. In studies performed as part of the Baltimore Metropolitan ITS Early Deployment Plan, Incident Management arose as a high priority for the region. A primary activity identified to improve Incident Management is the establishment of a Multi-Disciplined Incident Management Team that meets regularly to discuss issues and improve coordination. A small portion of the funds requested through this application will be used to support this and other Coordination Activities identified through recent regional Incident Management activities. |
