Emergency Management for Virginia SWR ITS Architecture
City of Danville Public Works Department- Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.
- Disseminate traffic-related data to other centers, the media, and travelers via the driver information systems (DMS, HAR).
- Develop, coordinate with emergency management and other traffic management centers, and execute special traffic management strategies during evacuation and subsequent reentry of a population in the vicinity of a disaster or major emergency.
- Monitor external advisory and incident reporting systems, intermodal freight depots, and border crossings for incident information.
- Monitor traffic sensor and surveillance systems remotely to detect and verify incidents.
- Control traffic signal controllers remotely to implement traffic management strategies at signalized intersections based on traffic conditions, incidents, emergency vehicle preemptions, pedestrian crossings, etc.
- Report identified incidents to operations personnel and other centers.
- Formulate an incident response that takes into account the incident potential, incident impacts, and/or resources required for incident management including proposing and facilitating the dispatch of emergency response and service vehicles.
- Plan strategically for emergency response.
- Provide tactical decision support, resource coordination, and communications integration among public safety agencies for Incident Commands that are established by first responders to support local management of an incident.
- Provide enroute travel information to drivers (via dynamic message signs and highway advisory radio).
- Analyze security sensor data and correlate with surveillance data and alerts from other agencies to detect potential threats.
- Operate and maintain security sensors in areas such as transit stops, transit stations, rest areas, park and ride lots, modal interchange facilities, on-board a transit vehicle, etc.
- Disseminate threat information to other agencies.
- Share information with other public safety agencies via the Emergency Operations Centers to support large-scale incidents and disasters.
- Operate and maintain security surveillance devices and analysis of that data to detect potential threats such as at transit stops, transit stations, rest areas, park and ride lots, modal interchange facilities, on-board a transit vehicle, etc.
- Take emergency calls and collect information about the caller and the reported emergency.
- Transmit incident information from on-scene public safety to the public safety center via on-board vehicle systems.
- Request signal preemption via short range communication directly from the emergency vehicle to the traffic control equipment on the roadside.
- Forward, when appropriate, emergency call information to the appropriate response agency.
- Provide incident information to dispatched public safety personnel via on-board vehicle systems.
- Gather dispatch and routing information from an emergency vehicle using on-board equipment for vehicle tracking and communications with care facilities.
- Support coordinated response to incidents.
- Manage and support routine maintenance on the roadway or right-of-way including landscape maintenance, hazard removal (roadway debris, dead animals), routine maintenance activities (roadway cleaning, grass cutting), and repair and maintenance of both ITS and non-ITS equipment.
- Operate field equipment that receives vehicle signal priority requests and operates traffic signals accordingly.
- Formulate an incident response that takes into account the incident potential, incident impacts, and/or resources required for incident management including proposing and facilitating the dispatch of emergency response and service vehicles.
- Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.
