1. VDOT’s Operations Program Update and Opportunities May 17, 2013
I AM PROUD OF EVERYONE IN THIS ROOM…YOU ALL REMAINED PROFESSIONAL DURING THE LAST YEAR DURING OUR TOC PROCUREMENT.
You helped us get our Operations Program where it is today.
We are taking a different path. URS, Telvent, Transdyn and Open Roads are good partners and we will continue to work one many initiatives together.
Like any competition, there is only one Winner. I can tell you that many states are interested in performing similar efforts. They are interested in our RFP and you will have the opportunity to compete again.
However, Virginia is still OPEN for Business.

3. The Everyday Story of Operations
8/7/2018
The Everyday Story of Operations
First, let me tell you a Story.
You are on your way to work. BANG! Someone hits you from behind.
You immediately dial 911 on your phone.
Dispatcher: Where are located? YOU: I am on I-95 northbound, just north of Richmond.
Dispatcher: Do you know your mile marker? YOU: I just past I-295.
Dispatcher: Do you see a little green sign with numbers on it? YOU: Yes, 85.2.
Dispatcher takes your remaining information and says they will send someone to you.
Dispatcher types this information into their computer (CAD) and dispatches closest trooper.
Richmond TOC Operator receives an ALERT on their computer about your crash. Operator uses the closest camera to verify this information, which is just beyond camera view.
Richmond TOC looks on their computer to see what Safety Service Patrol (SSP) driver is closest your crash. A SSP is currently on I-295 headed your way. The TOC reroutes him to your location on I-95 because the normal SSP driver is at another incident.
Richmond TOC posts a message on an electronic message sign, “ACCIDENT, 4 MILES AHEAD, RIGHT LANE CLOSED.”
Richmond TOC updates their software, which automatically updates 511 with your crash.
SSP Driver arrives on-scene within 3 minutes of your call and positions himself behind the crash. EMS arrive at the same time. VSP arrives 2 minutes later.
SSP Driver provides an on-scene assessment back to the TOC Operator. “2 vehicles, PDO, no injuries, right lane blocked. Traffic backed up ½ mile.”
Richmond TOC updates software, which updates 511.
VSP arrives and authorizes both drivers to move their vehicles to the shoulder. The other driver’s car has trouble starting, so SSP driver pushes vehicle to the shoulder and helps restart his vehicle.
VSP writes a ticket…
