Who is this AZTech, anyway?
|
|
||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
- AZTech is the model deployment and regional management of an Intelligent Transportation System developed for the Phoenix Metropolitan area (Moving Forward Together; www.aztech.org)
- The MDI began in 1996
- AZTech is still alive today, with an ever-expanding presence (regional in thinking; open forum; C2C in scope)
- Partners include State agencies (ADOT, DPS), County (MCDOT), regions (MAG), Cities (many/most), media (radio and TV), and more.
- Committees; volunteers with a common vision such as:
AZTech Executive Committee

AZTech Influence on 511
|
|
||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
- 511 is maintained and operated by Arizona DOT and is a single, statewide solution
- AZTech's influence toward a better 511 system
AZTech ATIS group provides input on 511 systems
511 Enhancement project (with funding from MAG, MCDOT, and ADOT), working to improve 511/az511.gov systems *
Out of need comes innovation
- Arterial coverage (or solving the lack thereof)
- Special Events *
Other Traveler Information Services *
* Discussed in more detail on following slides

511 Enhancement Project
- AZTech is leading an effort to enhance both the 511 phone and az511 .gov Internet systems
Ingest data from outside ADOT
- City and County arterial data
- CAD such as City of Phoenix Fire Dispatch, which automatically sends large arterial events to 511/az511 .gov (~400 events/month)
Create Regional Reports as a way to disseminate arterial data
Expand Internet mapping to modern, Google-like system complete with aerial photography

511 Special Events
- At a time when ADOT's 511 system only offered Floodgate messages, an AZTech need was to be able to create broadcast messages for large events
- Special Events (PIR, FBR, National Football games, Barrett Jackson Car Auction, etc.) was the creation from this need; providing a mechanism for recording traffic-related messages on the 511 system for events that draw 30,000 or more visitors in a single day
- In concert with event outreach, Special Event recordings are typically heard by over 10% of all 511 callers during a Special Event activation

COGs (Council of Governments)
Media (traffic reporters, TV, etc.)
Data recipients (ftp, other; ability to make requests for improvement)
AZTech (or similar mechanisms to bring regional collaboration to the table; operational in scope)
- Willingness to improve system for betterment of all who use it
- Relationships (built and maintained...before the need)
- Funding
Good ideas without funding...are just good ideas
Funding permits good ideas to become reality
