Regional ArchitectureTRANSCOM’s Regional Architecture ensures coordination and integration of advanced transportation management and information systems that are being implemented by the 16 member agencies. The TRANSCOM Regional Architecture will also enable the dissemination of real-time information from these systems, thereby optimizing the benefits of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) on a regional basis. The Regional Architecture will consist of a central database server linked with workstations located at member agencies’ facilities. Information shared through this network will include incident and construction data; variable message sign, highway advisory radio, and closed-circuit television information; and real-time traffic and transit conditions. The Regional Architecture is developing the protocols necessary to integrate existing and future ITS into this network. The TRANSCOM Regional Architecture is being implemented in phases. The first phase will provide each of TRANSCOM’s member agencies with one workstation. It will also develop interfaces with the existing ITS systems of the New York State Department of Transportation, New Jersey Turnpike Authority, New Jersey Department of Transportation, TRANSCOM, and three transit systems. Later phases will add additional workstations, to link all member agencies’ facilities to the network, and develop additional system interfaces. The network will be strengthened through coordination with the I-95 Corridor Coalition’s Information Exchange Network (IEN). The IEN provides the exchange of data similar to that handled by the TRANSCOM Regional Architecture, but on a corridor-wide basis from Maine to Virginia. Both networks use common platforms, thereby allowing members of both coalitions to access the IEN and the TRANSCOM Regional Architecture through a single workstation. |
