IEN (Information Exchange Network)

Status:

Existing

Definition:

The Information Exchange Network (IEN) is a separate computer system from the traffic controller's workstation and allows traffic controllers to input incident information along I-95/395/495. The I-95 Corridor Coalition has developed the IEN. The I-95 Corridor Coalition is an alliance of transportation agencies, toll authorities, and related organizations, including law enforcement, from the State of Maine to the State of Florida; the system facilitates connection to and information sharing among the coalition member agencies' facilities. This information is used by members of the I-95 Corridor Coalition to allow them to be informed of incidents within the I-95 corridor.
