“Thanks to the entire RM3P team for achieving this important milestone, and for moving us forward with innovation to improve the quality of life in our communities.”
– Bill Cuttler, NoVA District Engineer, VDOT
“As Chair of the AI-DSS Steering Committee, I am appreciative of the involvement from the Traffic Operations Division team throughout the development of this innovative project. Particularly as a future steward, we look forward to mainstreaming AI-DSS in the long-term once the effectiveness of this project is adequately demonstrated.”
– Kevin Gregg, Chief of Maintenance, VDOT
“AI-DSS will allow Incident Management Coordinators and other responders to prepare well ahead of any crisis that may occur, as well as help responders plan and train for future incident response. As for the benefits, AI-DSS will assist Incident Command to develop strategic and tactical objectives, help incident commanders determine resources required to meet the challenges at an incident, as well as assist with roadway clearance objectives.”
– Floyd “Boots” Ellmore, IMC, VDOT
“MATOC will look to the AI-DSS to help sort and prioritize recommended agency response plans to improve Operator workflow and decision-making processes. Current methods of evaluating various information and data streams, cascading impacts and responses is manually intensive and can often be overwhelming to Operators. Having access to such a system that can provide real-time and predictive insights into emerging transportation issues is critical in prioritizing a coordinated regional multi-agency response. MATOC believes that the AI-DSS will ultimately provide its Operators a better understanding of Northern Virginia’s vast multi-modal transportation network.”
– Taran Hutchinson, Facilitator, MATOC
“In a time when incidents, especially those that affect the interstates, become more complex and more difficult to manage, having a system like this that can be used to support and augment existing processes and systems is of great benefit.”
– Joe Warner, Regional IMC, VDOT
