In February, FDOT initiated
a research project with Michigan DOT to assess divergent traffic
management center softwares that are in use. Southwest Research
Institute (SWRI) from San Antonio, Texas was selected as the research
institution for this project. A successful kickoff meeting was held
with representatives from each interested District, Michigan DOT,
members of the consultant community and SWRI. At this meeting SWRI
presented their proposed approach and a draft set of evaluation
criteria for the software.

Over the last two
months, the research team has conducted field interviews at each
of FDOT’s traffic management centers. The research team is currently
in the process of analyzing the software, documentation and assessing
the software. The next status meeting on the project is scheduled
for August 7 in Tallahassee.
