Emergency Response Management

  • The center shall provide strategic emergency response capabilities provided by an Emergency Operations Center for large-scale incidents and disasters.
  • The center shall manage coordinated inter-agency responses to and recovery from large-scale emergencies. Such agencies include traffic management, transit, maintenance and construction management, rail operations, and other emergency management agencies.
  • The center shall provide the capability to implement response plans and track progress through the incident by exchanging incident information and response status with allied agencies.
  • The center shall develop, coordinate with other agencies, and store emergency response plans.
  • The center shall track the availability of resources and coordinate resource sharing with allied agency centers including traffic, maintenance, or other emergency centers.
  • The center shall allocate the appropriate emergency services, resources, and vehicle (s) to respond to incidents, and shall provide the capability to override the current allocation to suit the special needs of a current incident.
  • The center shall provide the capability to implement response plans and track progress through the incident by exchanging incident information and response status with allied agencies.

Incident Command

  • The center shall provide incident command communications with public safety, emergency management, transportation, and other allied response agency centers.
  • The center shall share incident command information with other public safety agencies including resource deployment status, hazardous material information, rail incident information, evacuation advice as well as traffic, road, and weather conditions.

TMC Incident Detection

  • The center shall collect and store traffic flow and image data from the field equipment to detect and verify incidents.
  • The center shall receive inputs concerning upcoming events that would effect the traffic network from event promoters and traveler information service providers.
  • The center shall exchange incident and threat information with emergency management centers as well as maintenance and construction centers; including notification of existence of incident and expected severity, location, time and nature of incident.

TMC Incident Dispatch Coordination/Communication

  • The center shall exchange alert information and status with emergency management centers. The information includes notification of a major emergency such as a natural or man-made disaster, civil emergency, or child abduction for distribution to the public. The information may include the alert originator, the nature of the emergency, the geographic area affected by the emergency, the effective time period, and information and instructions necessary for the public to respond to the alert. This may also identify specific information that should not be released to the public.
  • The center shall coordinate planning for incidents with emergency management centers - including pre-planning activities for disaster response, evacuation, and recovery operations.
  • The center shall share resources with allied agency centers to implement special traffic control measures, assist in clean up, verify an incident, etc. This may also involve coordination with maintenance centers.
  • The center shall receive inputs concerning upcoming events that would effect the traffic network from event promoters, traveler information service providers, media, border crossings, and rail operations centers.
  • The center shall provide road network conditions and traffic images to emergency management centers, maintenance and construction centers, and traveler information service providers.
  • The center shall monitor incident response performance and calculate incident response and clearance times.
  • The center shall exchange road network status assessment information with emergency management and maintenance centers including an assessment of damage sustained by the road network including location and extent of the damage, estimate of remaining capacity, required closures, alternate routes, necessary restrictions, and time frame for repair and recovery.
  • The center shall coordinate information and controls with other traffic management centers.
  • The center shall receive inputs from emergency management and transit management centers to develop an overall status of the transportation system including emergency transit schedules in effect and current status and condition of the transportation infrastructure.

The Hawaiian language uses two diacritical markings. The 'okina is a glottal stop; and the kahako is a macron. The State of Hawaii strongly encourages the use of Hawaiian diacritical markings. The National ITS Architecture tool, Turbo Architecture, does not allow for the Hawaiian diacritical markings to be input and as such, customized service package diagrams, operational concepts and other outputs from Turbo are unable to reflect the diacritical markings. To ensure consistency in this ITS Architecture website, no Hawaiian diacritical markings will be used.
