Abstract

For nearly 25 years, the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) traffic management center in downtown Minneapolis has been a model for other states in managing traffic and incidents. In cooperation with other public, private, and academic organizations, MnDOT established the Minnesota Guidestar program to guide intelligent transportation systems (ITS) research, testing, and deployment. Many projects initiated over the past several years have involved work with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, Minnesota State Patrol to automate, integrate, and improve the processes of incident management.
