The Utah Department of Transportation needed to develop a highly integrated Advanced Transportation Management System for the Salt Lake City Area in support of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.
Delcan utilized a phased approach that included the following:
- Ported the Navigator system to an all HP-UX based environment from the mixed environment originally utilized in Georgia
- Installed an off-the-shelf traffic signal control package as the basis for the UDOT CommuterLink system
- Developed device drivers for the devices specific to the UDOT implementation including:
- Driver to communicate with 2,070 controllers performing data collection
- Driver to communicate with new video devices such as quad multiplexers and an Electrohome video wall display
- Driver to communicate with a Traveler Advisory Telephone System (TATS) that is utilized for weather data input into the system
- Two weather systems drivers to communicate with both SSI based systems and Vaisala based systems with data incorporated into both the system interface map and the CommuterLink web site
- Provided enhancements and additional features to further improve upon the operational perspective that UDOT has chosen for its ITS program, including:
- A new map interface built with Java to be platform independent and available for distribution to other agencies and departments
