Decision Support Systems for TSM&O – A Florida Case Study

This webinar will focus on elements contained in the recently released report “Decision Support Systems for Transportation Systems Management & Operations (TSM&O)” by Florida International University and the Florida DOT. The report abstract is given below:

There is a need for the development of tools and methods to support off-line and real-time planning and operation decisions associated with the Transportation System Management and Operations (TSM&O) program. The goal of this proposed project is to research and produce a data analytic environment that supports the objectives and activities of the TSM&O program. Two previously developed tools, the ITS Data Capture and Performance Management (ITSDCAP) and the Integrated Regional Information Sharing and Decision Support System (IRISDS), have been integrated into a single Web-based environment in the project. In addition, new methods and modules have been developed to provide the functionality required by this environment. Some of the addressed functions in this research include the extension of system performance estimation and prediction, the production of performance dashboard, the development of benefit/cost estimation module for arterial incident management evaluation, the assessment of construction zone impacts, methods for identification of arterial performance problems, and review of the related previous Florida Department of Transportation research projects for possible implementation in the environment.
