Freeway Management System (FMS)
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Freeway Management System (FMS) is a real-time Intelligent
Transportation System (ITS) and was originally developed in 1993. This system
consists of numerous independent applications used to monitor traffic activity,
roadway and weather conditions across the state. The ITS data streams currently
include traffic counts, weather data, pavement conditions, signal timing,
Variable Message Sign (VMS) advisory messages, video signals, and the statewide
Highway Condition Reporting System (HCRS) events. Each has their own unique user
interface, security, output format and timetable.
Since the year 2000 OZ Engineering has successfully
implemented numerous projects for ADOT's FMS.
- Phases 3, 4, 5, and 7 of FMS: As part of these
projects more than 1000 devices were integrated into FMS.
- AzTech Model Deployment Initiative (www.aztech.org)
- Partner AzTech Phase III
AZTechTM is the name of the Phoenix Model
Deployment Initiative (MDI), which enhances freeway and arterial networks
decreasing travel time and enhancing traveler mobility, resulting in safer and
more efficient facilities for the traveling public. OZ Engineering is a private
partner member, and is one of several companies responsible for the
dissemination of information to aid in the development of successful Advanced
Travel Information Systems (ATIS).
Over the last two years we have been involved and are
playing a crucial role with number of initiatives within AzTech including:
- Development of Regional Archive Data Server (RADS)
- Development of Trip Travel Time displays for:
- Sky Harbor International Airport Rental Car Center
