This and other related research have two primary objectives:
I "^o develop practical operational tools which can be deployed for use in traffic-management and transportation planning activities.
2. To develop, a laboratory infrastructure which will facilitate future advances in traffic modeling and other ITS initiatives.
The objectives of this particular research project are as follows:
• A thorough examination and documentation of the 1-394 system’s specifications.
• Diagnosis of the working condition of the 1-394 system.
• Negotiation and implementation of a repair plan
• Establishing a communications connection between the ITS Lab and the Traffic Management Center (TMC).
• Activation of the 1-394 Lab, which will include a user’s guide that describes the steps a user should take to access video, make a connection to the TMC and the 1-394 system, and configure the system for traffic detection and data collection.
A completed 1-394 Lab would be a unique and valuable tool for obtaining information that loop-detectors have been unable to supply. This information includes flow dynamics, incident behavior, capacity, and other traffic-flow characteristics. This information is vital for fine tuning operational tools and schemes to be deployed in a future TMC, and will also provide an information foundation for future research and development._
