TM09: Integrated Decision Support and Demand Management

This service package recommends courses of action to transportation operators in a corridor, downtown area, or other heavily traveled area. Recommendations are based on an assessment of current and forecast transportation network performance and environmental conditions. Multi-modal transportation operational strategies are created that consider all modes and all roads in the travel area to correct network imbalances and effectively manage available capacity. As part of the operational strategies, this service package may also recommend lane restrictions, transit, parking, and toll strategies to influence traveler route and mode choices to support active demand management programs and policies managing both traffic and the environment. Operational strategies, including demand management recommendations, are coordinated to support operational decisions by each transportation operator that are consistent with the recommended strategy. All recommended operational strategies are based on historical evaluation, real-time assessment, and forecast of the roadway network performance based on predicted travel demand patterns. This service package also collects air quality, parking availability, transit usage, and vehicle occupancy data to support operational strategies that manage and balance capacity and demand.

This will include PII of the event contact person, which should be protected from casual viewing. This flow will also include details of the planned event, which in some circumstances might not be entire public information and so again, should not be casually viewable. Personal contact information needs to be correct, but so do the details of the planned event because of the potential severity of the event's impact. Generally the more significant the potential impact of the event, the higher this should be, but never below MODERATE. There should be other mechanisms for getting this information, otherwise it would match integrity.
