4.3 Operational Concepts
An Operational Concept documents each stakeholder’s current and future roles and responsibilities
in the operation of the regional ITS systems. The operational concept documents these roles and
responsibilities across a range of transportation services. The services covered are:
• Traffic Signal Control: the development of signaling systems that react to changing traffic
conditions and provide coordinated intersection timing over a corridor, an area, or multiple
jurisdictions.
• Highway Management: the development of systems to monitor freeway (or tollway) traffic
flow and roadway conditions, and provide strategies such as ramp metering or lane access
control to improve the flow of traffic on the freeway. Includes systems to provide information
to travelers on the roadway.
• Incident Management: the development of systems to provide rapid and effective response to
incidents. Includes systems to detect and verify incidents, along with coordinated agency
response to the incidents.
• Transit Management: the development of systems to more efficiently manage fleets of transit
vehicles or transit rail. Includes systems to provide transit traveler information both pre­trip
and during the trip.
• Traveler Information: the development of systems to provide static and real time
transportation information to travelers.
• Emergency Management: the development of systems to provide emergency call taking,
public safety dispatch, and emergency operations center operations.
• Maintenance and Construction Management: the development of systems to manage the
maintenance of roadways in the region, including winter snow and ice clearance. Includes the
managing of construction operations.
• Archive Data Management: the development of systems to collect transportation data for use
in non­operational purposes (e.g. planning and research).
• Electronic Payment: the development of electronic fare payment systems for use by transit
and other agencies (e.g. parking).
