PennDOT’s Road Condition

Reporting System

www.dot.state.pa.us
 What is RCRS?
– Road Closures, Restrictions, and other
Events
– Winter Interstate Road Conditions

– Incident Communication Process (ICP)

– Construction and Maintenance
Activities
– ITS Devices

– Security Model

– Analysis and Data Auditing

– Primary PA 511 Feed

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Purpose of RCRS

• St. Valentine’s Day 2007 winter storm

• A platform to share roadway information

– Key Agencies – PEMA, PSP
– Public
• Conditions Hotline
• Web Site
• 5-1-1 Implementation

www.dot.state.pa.us
 RCRS Benefits

– Interactive mapping
– Ensures consistent and accurate data
– Standardized, central reporting system
– Reporting and QA/QC Analysis
– Situational awareness
– Easy information dissemination

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Modes of Operations
• Normal 24/7 Operations
– Normal daily operating procedures
– Closures and restrictions
– Limited winter route reporting
– RTMCs and DTMCs

• Emergency Operations
– District ICCs - 24/7
– Extensive list of winter routes
– Truck statistics
– DMS Messages

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Where & How
• What can be closed?
– All state owned roadways
• Interstates, Traffic Routes, 4-digit state routes, and
ramps

• How can they be defined?

– Intersection
– Mile
– Exit
– LRM (Segment/Offset)
– Map
– Start and end locations can be a combination
of any method
– Incident Locations
www.dot.state.pa.us
 Who’s Responsible?

• District TMCs
– Normal operations – normal business hours

• 3 RTMCs – 24/7
– East, Central, West
– Cover DTMCs during off-hours

• Incident Command Center (ICC)

– Emergency Ops only

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Incident Communication Process

• Intent
– Communicate incidents to:
• Executive Leadership
• PEMA
• PSP
• Others

– PEMA
• Assess impacts
• Issue proper notifications
• Plan for appropriate response.

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Specify
closure
causes to
receive
notifications
Specify geographic area to for
receive notifications for
 Winter Road Conditions

• Reported from November to April

• Districts determine reportable roads
• Two-hour reporting requirement
• Interstate conditions
– Hotline
– PennDOT webpage

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Winter Modules

• Road Conditions
– Report condition by route, by county
– Dry, Wet, Snow w/ Tracks, Snow
Covered, Icy, Impassable

• Truck Statistics
– Inventory versus deployment
– Emergency Ops only
– Decisions and awareness

 Security Administration

• User Account Maintenance

–Permissions role & location based
–Pyramid Security Model
• Read-Only
• Operator
• Regional
• Statewide
• System

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Data Integrity and Validation

• Chains of Command
– Chain for out of date closure

• Data Entry Validation

• Reporting and Analysis Engine

www.dot.state.pa.us
 Reporting

• Five Categories
– Closures
– Winter
– Analysis
– ITS
– Users
• Accessible to all RCRS accounts
