How RCRS Came About
Originated by PennDOT Executive Management Lack of accurate information during times of adverse weather Defined in the Transportation Systems Operation Plan (TSOP)
TSOP Projects
TSOP01: InterAgency Incident Reporting System (IRS) TSOP02: Road Closure Reporting System (RCRS) TSOP03: Interstate Incident Management Program TSOP04: IM Traveler Information TSOP05: Incident Management Processes and Procedures TSOP06: Roadway Weather Management TSOP07: Crash Prevention/Safety TSOP09: STMC and TMCs TSOP08: TAC Signal Study Implementation TSOP10: ITS Equipment Maintenance TSOP11: TechnologyAssisted Enforcement TSOP12: Mobility in Work Zones TSOP13: ITS and IT TSOP14: Operations Mainstreaming TSOP15: Advanced Planning and Strategy TSOP16: DataAcquisition and Archiving TSOP17: Statewide Transit Operations TSOP18: Freight Movements Assessment TSOP19: CVO Partnership with PSP
RCRS’s Purpose
Effectively and efficiently report realtime road closures/lane restrictions to the motoring public and other agencies Ensure quality and validity of reported data Provide standardized reporting method for closures within PennDOT Provide statistical analysis of past closures
Who makes RCRS what it is?
RCRS is a coordinated effort between: – Bureau of Highway Safety and Traffic Engineering (BHSTE)
– Bureau of Maintenance and Operations (BOMO)
– Press Office – Bureau of Planning and Research (BPR) – Bureau of Construction and Materials (BOCM)
RCRS Today … RCRS has become PennDOT’s standard incident reporting tool Foundation for other TSOP efforts Used during PEMA SEOC activations (3 activations since Feb. 14 th ) Limited 24/7 use for reporting major incidents and closures (ICP Process)

Technology
Development Highlights
Reusable Mapping Engine and Interface Common .NET Architecture Basis of PennDOT’s Geographic Information Division’s Development Standards
– All resulting in less development time and effort, not only for this application, but all future .NET applications
Closure Location Depiction Street Intersections (NonInterstates) Mile Post (Interstates only) Exits (Interstates only) Intersecting Traffic Routes PennDOT LRM – County / SR / Segment / Offset Map
Breaking Down the LRM Walls Cross County Closures – PennDOT’s LRM is based on counties • Creation of new PennDOT LRM Oracle Spatial functionality
– Traffic Routes vs. Four Digit State Routes
“Wishbone” Closures – Ability to close both sides of a semidivided highway at one time
Some Nice Upgrades Map Speeds Autorefreshing maps and search engines Enhanced search and reporting engines Ability to search for changes Go back to last search Help and Training Resource Page
Some Nice Upgrades (cont.) New login security and streamlined troubleshooting New GIS datasets – Interstate Exits (new) – State and US highway exits (in progress) New uses for existing datasets – Intersection depiction and selection Overdue closure alerts upon admin user login Detailed history report of a single closure Show preplanned closures on maps and text lists
Behind the Scenes Automatic Email Notification System (during PEMA SEOC activations) – Operators/supervisors are notified at specific intervals
• 30 min prior to expiration time • Expiration time • Every 15 min after expiration time until reopened or updated
ICP Email Distribution (during normal business) – Closure info sent to executive management, PEMA, FHWA, and others regarding severe closures • 3+ hours • Fatality • School Bus • HAZMAT
Tomorrow and Beyond … Winter interstate road conditions (Fall 2007) Construction and maintenance activities (Spring 2008) Public interface (Memorial Day 2008) Enhanced Reporting and Analysis – Summaries, detailed history, plotable maps, and thematic outputs

Tomorrow and Beyond … (cont.) Interface with EDRS (Detour Routing System) TMC Integration and Utilization 511 Traveler Information System Cameras and RWIS Welcome Centers Subscription Alert Service Customizable ICP Alerting Internet Mapping
