Abstract
Fast incident response and management are main tasks of Traffic Management Center (TMC) operators. Using the latest microscopic simulation modeling techniques, a TMC operator training system was developed and set up at California Advanced Transportation Management Systems (ATMS) Testbed of University of California, Irvine. The system is designed to duplicate the standardized TMC software systems and data feeds in a secure environment, where TMC operators can be trained to enrich their experiences and enhance their skills based on various incident scenarios. Since the completion of the prototype system, three training classes have been performed and satisfactory results have been obtained. For the covering abstract see ITRD E140665.
