Overview of Workshop Introductions Project Background Overview of Integration Review Status of Coordinating Efforts STOC Operations Model Assessment Group Discussion – Priorities and Opportunities Next Steps
3
Project Background STOC early in its role as a statewide facility BHO Reorganization Traffic Operations Program influences a number of important operations areas Concurrent activities with near-term and future influences Need to look at alignment of ITS with operations and policy = Perfect timing to re-orient focus and direction of WisDOT ITS program
4
Project Background
5
Overview of Integration Review ITS/operations functional and programmatic alignment within WisDOT’s operations program Organizational perspective of WisDOT ITS: Functionality, Operations, ITS Maintenance, Technical Capabilities, Partnerships Focus on: Relationship of operations and tactical-level activities Better integration of multiple business processes Overarching departmental programs and strategies
6
Integration Review Key Tasks *Present Final Plan TASK 7 Strategic Plan TASK 6 Identify Opportunities *Workshop #2 (Peers) TASK 2 Inventory and Environmental Scan of Traffic Ops Program TASK 3 STOC Operations Model Assessment and Review TASK 4 ITS Maintenance Program Review TASK 5 Initial SWOT Analysis *Workshop #1 TASK 1 Project Management/Coordination
7
Key Tasks and Major Deliverables Interviews with key WisDOT personnel and other partners Review current processes, programs, and partnerships Workshops: 1 st – initial review findings, draft documents, goals/direction 2 nd – focus on key opportunities 3 rd – focus on recommendations/content of Strategic Plan Develop key technical memoranda/deliverables: STOC Assessment ITS Maintenance Program Review SWOT Analysis Opportunities Strategic Plan
8
Status of Coordinating Efforts Annualized Freeway Work Zone Planning Process NG-ATMS TOIP Communications Update 2010 Operations Goals Freight Corridors Development Strategic Highway Safety Plan
9
Summary of Interviews/Findings Interviews with Central Office, Regions, STOC, WSP Reviewed existing plans/operations documents Purpose ID what is working well relative to ITS alignment ID areas for improved coordination ID opportunities to elevate role of STOC/ITS ID opportunities to maximize capabilities Ultimately – how does the ITS program and STOC need to function to meet objectives?
10
Strengths Operational partnerships – WSP, Counties Coordination meetings, interface with partners Information has improved Quality, consistency, distribution, access ITS program focused on high density areas Well planned vision for deployment (TOIP) Process foundation in Incident Management Contracts to fill key ops/maintenance roles
11
Challenges Limited interactions with STOC outside of SE/SW Role of STOC not well defined for some operational areas Current systems and processes may not be meeting operational needs Integrating future programs/capabilities Demonstrating benefits of ITS/Operations Limited performance reporting to date Incremental system implementation
12
Opportunities – Initial Thoughts Improve process integration Define role/concepts for STOC and ITS ETO cited as good example…need for other areas Regional vs. Statewide/STOC responsibilities Report on operational performance and impact Meaningful operations measures Tell the story…demonstrate value for the investment Better utilize capabilities and outputs of key systems Data can be better used/shared Data can inform programmatic/policy decisions
13
STOC Operations Model Assessment STOC is key in the design, implementation and future of the ITS program Developing into its statewide role Internal and external relationships Includes current, near-term, and future operations roles Focuses on alignment with key operational areas: Existing OperationsFuture Operations Incident/Emergency MgmtFreight Work ZonesRoad Weather Mgmt Traffic MgmtIntelliDrive SafetyOthers… Event Management Traveler Information
14
SUPPORT FOR ASSESSMENT Documents and Plans Roles and Responsibilities Interactions with Partners Operational Processes Existing Systems Agreements Policies and Guidelines Incident Management Emergency Management Work Zone Management Traffic Management (Freeways) Traveler Information (511) Current Staff Current Partners BASELINE Current Functions NEAR TERM Expanded Functions FUTURE New Functions Incident Management Emergency Management Work Zone Management Geographic Expansion of Traffic Management Traveler Information (511) ITS Implementation Traffic Signal Operations Additional Partners Performance Monitoring Winter Operations Management RWIS Data Collection Freight Operations Mobile ATIS Functionality New ITS Devices Performance Management SUPPORT FOR ASSESSMENT Documents and Plans Roles and Responsibilities Interactions with Partners Operational Processes Existing Systems Agreements Policies and Guidelines CHECKPOINT – ASSESSMENT CRITERIA Functional : systems, equipment, physical space Resources : staff, skills, partners, funds Readiness : operations and maintenance, sustainability, leverage opportunities, alignment with other processes, funding availability
18
STOC Operations Model Assessment Definition of goals, functions, and responsibilities for STOC and Operations program Develop stronger relationships with regions for support Continue to strengthen statewide functions Education on STOC operations and capabilities Expand awareness of data/TransPortal capabilities Measures for operational performance and effectiveness Similar to Compass strategy Align with other established goals (WZ, safety)
19
Performance Reporting Examples Washington State DOT “The Gray Notebook” Summary of Measures, and detailed quarterly report

ITS Maintenance Program Review WisDOT’s Program heavily relies on its ability to maintain infrastructure to support operations Review of maintenance considerations: Resources to support maintenance needs Strategic implementation Funding apportionment Lifecycle/replacement planning Contracting mechanisms Maintenance resources needs to align with TOIP needs and implementation
23
ITS Maintenance Program Review Need for ITS maintenance champions statewide Efficient use of contracting mechanisms Funding challenges Equipment reliability Operational/device compatibility over time Maintenance Tracking Processes and reports to ID critical maintenance issues Better plan for needed resources (use TOIP and densities as guide)
24
Group Discussion Operations and Policy Intersections Strategic Priorities for ITS/STOC Operations Program Operational priorities/measures Future influences ATMS Freight corridors Road weather management TOIP TransPortal expansion Performance measurement
25
Work Zone Operations/Policy Intersections POLICY OPERATIONS Tracking WZ details (LCS) Identifying conflicting events Real-time monitoring Day-to-day impacts Alerts/notifications Thresholds for WZ monitoring Inform/refine ITS req’s in TMP Guidance on specific monitoring applications Measure effectiveness of specific strategies Assess impact of WZ Policy SOP development Outreach Integrated processes Baseline perf measures
26
Next Steps Develop SWOT Analysis Develop Opportunities Performance Monitoring Next Workshop – Opportunities (late Sept timeframe) Post presentation to TOPS site
