Project Status:   In Progress
     
Project Type:   Deployment/Integration
     
Project Description:   This project comprises the FY 2001 ITS Integration Program earmark for Charlotte, North Carolina. The project, while retaining its unique identity, builds on the FY 2000 earmark for the Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina area. The principal project objective is to integrate the Charlotte DOT Traffic Operations Center (TOC) and the North Carolina DOT (NCDOT) Transportation Management Center (TMC). This project activity enables the NCDOT to operate the US 74 High Occupancy Vehicle system and CDOT to implement remote operation capability of the Freeway Management System on I-77. An added feature of this project is the further interconnection of, and associated information sharing between the NCDOT Metrolina TMC and the CDOT TOC. Additionally, connectivity with Public Safety agencies will enable improved incident response.
