| Project Description: | This project is the FY 2000 ITS Integration Program earmark for Las Vegas, Nevada. FAST is a major regional transportation endeavor whose objectives include: improvement of surface transportation efficiency and mobility by providing travelers with an optimal mix of choices of mode, route, or time of travel; reduction of incident response and clearance times; improvement of agency staff productivity through better communications and computational tools with which to support transportation management in the region. This project, which builds on the FY 1999 earmark dedicated to the design of data archiving capability, will focus on the following ITS infrastructure: Integration of the Arterial Management System component with the Freeway Management System component, Implementation of ADUS, Integration of ADUS with FAST, and Interagency integration to achieve information sharing. ADUS implementation will enable storage of data at periodic intervals. Data will be accessible to all stakeholders and entities, public and private, managing tourist activities. The proposed ADUS implementation and integration with FAST will provide Las Vegas area stakeholders with a resource that can receive, collect and archive operational ITS-generated data for real-time and non real-time users. The primary Las Vegas area stakeholder requirements to be supported by ADUS will, at a minimum, include: - short- and long-range planning; - transportation system monitoring; - transit management; - air quality analysis; - safety analysis; - inter-modal planning; - transportation research; - emergency management planning. This project covers the procurement, installation, integration and testing of vendor supplied system hardware and software, as well as the development, installation, integration and testing of the application software required for the above components. The project will be comprised of ADUS central system equipment and communication system components that link the central system component to the field components. The central component will consist of the central system software elements, central system network servers, databases, user workstations, archive storage devices, and associated support equipment located at the FAST Traffic Management Center (TMC). The communication system component will consist of the hardware devices and software located at the TMC and at remote agency sites that interface to the ADUS central system component. The integration of the arterial and freeway components of the FAST system involves: - Interconnecting the central servers of each of the two systems in support of center-to-center communications; - Integrating the implementation of diversion strategies in response to incidents using equipment and resources from both systems; - Integrating the control of the CCTV cameras of the two systems; and - Integrating the video display of the two systems. |
