摘要：	Freeway congestion is a real problem for Orange County's 2.4 million residents. As obtaining rights of way and building new freeways has become increasingly difficult and expensive, it has become clear that we can no longer build our way out of traffic congestion. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), District 12 was inspired to search for more innovative ways of moving people and goods along Orange County's congested freeways. Caltrans' vision calls for the development of new transportation technologies which enhance the safety and mobility of goods and services in the region, resulting in increased productivity and financial growth. The new Orange County Advanced Transportation Management Center (TMC) is a major step toward realizing that vision. A culmination of years of collaboration, the new TMC is Caltrans' nerve center for the collection of all transportation information in Orange County. From the TMC, a state-of-the-art Advanced Transportation Management System (ATMS) is operated to help manage Orange County freeways. The recently implemented ATMS covers the entire Orange County freeway network and incorporates a variety of technologies for the detection, confirmation and management of incidents. Traffic operations system elements that are key components of ATMS functions include: a Closed Circuit Television subsystem (CCTV), a Vehicle Detection Station subsystem (VDS), a Changeable Message Sign subsystem (CMS) and electronic bulletin and message boards. Future features currently in development include a system wide adaptive Ramp Metering System and an intertie to a local city for coordinated traffic management in a specified corridor. Operational Units which are integral to successful transportation management activities include California Highway Patrol (CHP), Freeway Service Patrol (FSP), and the Caltrans Traffic Management Team (TMT). The ATMS is a sophisticated system that easily provides surveillance, incident detection and response, and information dissemination capabilities to the Caltrans operational staff. Key features of the system include: user friendly graphical user interface; geographical map display, with various display filter options; real-time color coded traffic data; icon based field element control and data access capabilities; automatic incident detection; automatic response plan generation; expert system component for complex response plan generation; report and analysis capabilities; user friendly system configuration capability. Through the Orange County Advanced Transportation Management System and coordinated activities in the TMC, Caltrans and its partners are committed to the goal of enhancing Orange County's vitality and quality of ?600
