Title: SYMPOSIUM ON INTEGRATED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS, IRVINE, CALIFORNIA, JUNE 24-26, 1992: SESSION ONE, WHAT ARE INTEGRATED TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS? LOCAL PERSPECTIVE
Abstract: Mr. Rowe discusses what he sees as some of the major issues associated with Integrated Traffic Management Systems (ITMS) from the perspective of local jurisdictions. These issues include the organization of the various agencies, the system architecture, traffic monitoring requirements, development of the appropriate strategies, the increased levels of automation needed to operate the systems, the increased use of different media for traveler information, and the responsibilities of operation and maintenance personnel. He concludes that it is possible to integrate local systems with those of other agencies at the regional and state levels and still maintain adequate local control over the system. This will call for greater emphasis on traffic monitoring, agreement among agencies on traffic management policies and approaches, implementation of greater automation of all needed functions, and reexamination of a broader range of techniques to communicate with the traveling public.
