Project 6.1
Corridor-wide Traveler Information Coordination – Operational Test

Several NWP projects have developed guidelines for consistent traveler information reporting (e.g. Project 5.3: Consistent and Coordinated Dynamic Message Sign (DMS) Use Workshop, and Project 3.1 Corridor-Wide Consistent Major Event Descriptions). This project proposes another step to test the effectiveness of these guidelines during actual major events that occur along the NWP Corridor.

This project will focus on conducting an operational test to coordinate traveler information (communications, acceptance, MOU's etc.) during one or more major events throughout the corridor. The project would leverage existing systems in place (DMS, 511 phone & web, corridor wide ATIS site) and therefore would not need to deploy new equipment or systems.
