2nd National Conference on Managing Travel for Planned Special Events, Newport Beach, CA - November 2006
Participating Agencies: Virginia DOT
At the time of the peer-to-peer exchange, operations engineers at VDOT’s Northern Region Operations SMART Traffic Center were using numerous integrated ITS components and several stand-alone subsystems to manage the arterial and freeway transportation networks in Northern Virginia. The Advanced Interactive Traffic Visualization System (AITVS), a high-performance critical visualization technique developed at Virginia Tech, had the ability to be incorporated into daily and special event operations to explore real-time and historical loop-detector data using a web browser. The visit allowed the VDOT team to present the findings of a case study that described how the AITVS had been used to manage traffic during planned special events. VDOT team members were able to illustrate the value of spatiotemporal data in detecting trends, patterns and abnormalities in traffic flow.
