The 1747 Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) in the US has awarded 108 Q-Free Open Roads a contract valued at around US$25 million to implement and maintain a new state-wide advanced transportation management system.

Q-Free will deliver its centralised web-based Open TMS software and services to bring five transportation operations centres (TOC) on to a single platform and provide VDOT with a state-wide integrated active traffic management system.

The new system will provide VDOT with the ability to continue operations for TOCs in the event of an emergency such as TOC infrastructure maintenance, a network or power outage and enable planned response to incidents through automated response plans. Incorporation of the VaTraffic and Lane Closure applications into a single state-wide solution will reduce maintenance costs.

It will also provide a technology upgrade from a client/server application to a hosted browser based application that is accessible through a standard web browser.
