TxDOT Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Traffic Management Centers (TMCs) monitor metro freeways for incidents that impact the flow of traffic, such as crashes and stalls. TMC staff often use Intelligent Transportation Systems, such as closed-circuit television cameras, traffic speed data, communications from service patrols, and other tools to identify incidents; however, these methods can be inefficient.
Most often, drivers involved in a traffic incident will place a call to 911 to get assistance. It was identified that if TMCs could get notified of these calls soon after they’re placed, they can find and process incidents faster. TxDOT, in conjunction with the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, developed a system that gathers information from 911 systems and transmits this data to TMCs to allow for faster identification of incidents soon after they occur.
