This
market package provides for the sharing of traffic information and control
among traffic management centers to support a regional control strategy.
This market package advances the Surface Street Control and Freeway Control
Market Packages by adding the communications links and integrated control
strategies that enable integrated Interjurisdictional traffic control.
The nature of optimization and extent of information and control sharing
is determined through working arrangements between jurisdictions. This
package relies principally on roadside instrumentation supported by the
Surface Street Control and Freeway Control Market Packages and adds hardware,
software, and wireline communications capabilities to implement traffic
management strategies that are coordinated between allied traffic management
centers. Several levels of coordination are supported from sharing of
information through sharing of control between traffic management centers.
