Description:
|
Central repository and distribution point to consolidate current and forecast weather (ATWIS), surveillance and operations/maintenance highway conditions information for the traveling public (i.e., have roads been plowed or treated, are roads open or closed, and the general "drivability" of roads). Planned to be located at Meridian Environmental Technology. Receives incident information from TMCs, TOCCs, and SDOT Region and Area Offices. Sends incident notification to TMCs, TOCCs, and SDOT Region and Area Offices. Can store and execute predetermined responses to specific incidents including e.g., programming DMSs on off-shifts, and e-mails/page (potentially to subscribers).
DB organized by transportation network links. For each link includes current status and expected duration until a new status begins. Status can indicate conditions (snow, ice, etc.).
