TRANSCOM's System for Managing Incidents and Traffic (TRANSMIT) has been installed on both the Garden State Parkway and on New York State Thruway. It utilizes vehicles equipped with the E-ZPass toll collection system as traffic probes. The principal benefits of the currently implemented TRANSMIT system are automated incident detection and real time link travel time estimation. The TRANSMIT system has the capability to produce the following estimates in real time: Vehicle position and tracking, Path travel time, O-D matrix, Traffic volume. The TRANSMIT system is an example of a multi-jurisdictional cooperation between different public agencies and the private sector. Once fully implemented it could become the primary test bed for research in traffic management, traveler information and transportation planning. (A*)
