Maintenance and Construction for Virginia NWR ITS Architecture
City of Charlottesville Public Works Department- Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.
- 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.
- Monitor and remotely diagnose field equipment issues including detecting failures, issuing problem reports, and tracking the repair or replacement of failed equipment.
- Collect current and forecast road and weather information that is used to more effectively manage incidents.
- Share information with other public safety agencies via the Emergency Operations Centers to support large-scale incidents and disasters.
- Plan strategically for emergency response.
- Coordinate schedules with other agencies and modes, including transit transfer cluster and transfer point information.
- Operate and maintain field equipment that controls and sends data to other field equipment (such as environmental sensors that send data to a DMS or coordination between traffic controllers on adjacent intersections), without being controlled from a center.
- Share information with other public safety agencies via the Emergency Operations Centers to support large-scale incidents and disasters.
- Collect weather information including temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility from environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface.
- Collect road surface information including road surface temperature, moisture, ice formation, and salinity from environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface.
- Process current and forecast weather data, road condition information and local environmental data, and use internal models to develop specialized detailed forecasts of local weather and surface conditions.
- Collect current and forecast road and weather information that is used to more effectively manage incidents.
- Disseminate road weather information to other agencies and centers.
- Plan strategically for emergency response.

- Share information with other public safety agencies via the Emergency Operations Centers to support large-scale incidents and disasters.
- Send the location of the maintenance and construction vehicles and other equipment to the maintenance center operator.
- Collect weather information including temperature, wind, humidity, precipitation, and visibility from environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface.
- Distribute work plans so that work zones are established that have minimum traffic impact.
- Manage winter road maintenance, tracking and controlling snow plow operations, roadway treatment (e.g., salt spraying and other material applications) based on weather information.
- Disseminate work activity schedules and current asset restrictions to other agencies.
- Monitor and control traffic and provide information directly to drivers in maintenance and construction areas using field equipment including CCTV cameras, driver information systems (such as DMS), and gates/barriers.
- Collect road surface information including road surface temperature, moisture, ice formation, and salinity from environmental sensors, surface and sub-surface.
- Recommend courses of action including dispatch instructions based on current and forecast environmental and road conditions (filtered and fused for specific time horizons) and additional application specific information using Maintenance Decision Support Systems.
- Monitor and remotely diagnose field equipment issues including detecting failures, issuing problem reports, and tracking the repair or replacement of failed equipment.
- Monitor and support work zone activities remotely, controlling traffic through dynamic message signs (DMS), highway advisory radio, gates and barriers, and informing other groups of activity (e.g., traveler information systems, traffic management centers, other maintenance and construction centers).
- Monitor vehicle and equipment condition.
- Process current and forecast weather data, road condition information and local environmental data, and use internal models to develop specialized detailed forecasts of local weather and surface conditions.
- 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.
- Coordinate work schedules, factoring in the needs and activities of other agencies and adjacent jurisdictions.
- Operate and maintain environmental sensors.
- Schedules routine and corrective maintenance.
- Tracks vehicle maintenance history.
- Tracks the location of maintenance and construction vehicles and other equipment remotely.
- Coordinate with maintenance systems using work zone images and traveler information systems (such as DMS).
- Plan strategically for emergency response.
- Operate and maintain field equipment that controls and sends data to other field equipment (such as environmental sensors that send data to a DMS or coordination between traffic controllers on adjacent intersections), without being controlled from a center.
- Assimilate collected environmental data with other current and forecast road conditions and surface weather information from weather service providers and roadway maintenance operations.
- Disseminate road weather information to other agencies and centers.
- Collect current and forecast road and weather information that is used to more effectively manage incidents.
- Coordinate incident response with all appropriate cooperating agencies.
- 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.
- Provide enroute travel information to drivers (via dynamic message signs and highway advisory radio).
- Share information with other public safety agencies via the Emergency Operations Centers to support large-scale incidents and disasters.
- Plan strategically for emergency response.
- Collect current and forecast road and weather information that is used to more effectively manage incidents.
