Dallas ICM will smarten up US-75

Nine stakeholder agencies, multiple modes of travel (including bus and rail), reliable and accurate travel time information, parking information, and active traffic diversion for incidents; these capabilities and more are now available through the Dallas Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) program along US-75 that will be going “Live” April 2013. The I-15 and I-75 corridors in San Diego, CA recently went Live with their ICM system in March 2013.

Nine stakeholder agencies, multiple modes of travel (including bus and rail), reliable and accurate travel time information, parking information and active traffic diversion for incidents; these capabilities and more are now available through the Dallas Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) program along US-75 that will be going 'Live' April 2013. The I-15 and I-75 corridors in San Diego, CA recently went Live with their ICM system in March 2013.

A multitude of ICM strategies can be developed for almost any situation, which is why stakeholders have spent the past several years, developing automated near real-time decision support systems (DSS) that will keep people and goods moving smoothly along the transportation system.

For a unique opportunity to gain an insight into these developments, visit the USDOT Booth 605 with specific demonstrations of the Dallas ICM on April 22 from 11:00 to 1:00 and of the San Diego ICM on April 23 from 11:00 to 1:00, and also attend the ICM workshop taking place on Wednesday, April 24 from 1:30 to 5:30pm.

    Astronomical is not too grand a term to describe the current rate of growth in transportation-related data. Massive amounts of traffic related information, such as speed, volume, incidents and weather are being generated every second by road operators and users alike. Big data’ derives its name from the sheer amount and complexity of available raw data. Its potential value is starting to emerge among the intelligent transportation systems community. A gold rush is taking place to capture this value, with da

    Colin Sowman hears about a new truck parking information system being piloted across eight states. Legislation limits truck drivers’ hours with the result that they are often caught in a situation where they need to stop either for a break or an overnight rest. But as truck parking is in short supply, truck drivers spend an average of 56 minutes a day searching for available spaces and are often faced with the choice of driving beyond their permitted hours or parking illegally.

    Machine vision techniques hold the potential to solve a multitude of challenges facing the transportation sector Optical Character Recognition (OCR), the base technology for number plate recognition, has been in industrial use for more than three decades. It is a prime example of how, instead of having to start from scratch, the transportation sector can leverage and adapt the machine vision expertise already used in industry in order to provide robust solutions with new capabilities. “The real val

    Timothy Compston lifts the lid on Rio de Janeiro’s preparations for keeping its transport systems moving during the Olympics – and the outcome. Hosting the Olympics poses major traffic management challenges for any city and Rio was no exception – especially as it is already one of the world’s most congested cities. Beyond its normal 6.5 million inhabitants wanting to carry on their daily lives, in August Rio was also home to 11,300 athletes from 206 countries. Athletes who, without fail, had to reach their
